About the job
You will lead SAS's DevSecOps team and help shape how security is integrated across Global Engineering and R&D. Your team will enable the delivery of secure, reliable software at scale through modern tooling, automation, security architecture, vulnerability management, and offensive security practices. Working across engineering, product, governance, and security partners, you will drive a strategy that makes the secure path the easiest path, reducing friction for developers while improving the organization's ability to identify, prioritize, and address risk.
This role requires a leader who can translate security objectives into measurable engineering outcomes. You will build and develop a high-performing team, establish scalable security capabilities, and influence engineering practices across a large, distributed organization. Success will be measured not only by reducing risk, but by creating transparent, automated, and sustainable security practices that are widely adopted by development teams and embedded into the software delivery lifecycle.
As a Senior Manager, DevSecOps you will:
- Lead and mentor a talented and diverse team of engineers and security professionals
- Advocate for the adoption of best practices and continuous improvement throughout your team, the department, and engineering.
- Maintain a current picture of the external threat environment, including CVEs, industry incidents, emerging attack patterns, and regulatory shifts, and proactively brief engineering leadership on what matters and why.
- Help design and deliver a modern, automated security platform for assessing risks, managing vulnerabilities, and assisting in remediation while reducing toil to engineering team
- Establish practices and enablement to ensure all applicable security policies and processes are followed to support the organization's secure software development goals.
- Build out a model for iterative, continuous improvement in security practice maturity and posture
- Build partnerships with security leaders and stakeholders across the company to respond to incidents and risks, taking leadership in a unified approach to providing security solutions.
- Embrace curiosity, passion, authenticity and accountability. These are our values and influence everything we do.
Required qualifications
- Requires a minimum of 10+ years of related programming or security experience, including three years of project lead, supervisory or management experience.
- Bachelor's degree with major study in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. Relevant security certifications preferred, such as GIAC certifications, CEH, CCSP, CSSLP, CISM, or CISSP.
- Extensive hands-on experience in product security, application security, or software security engineering, with a track record of meaningful impact, not just process compliance.
- Deep technical understanding of modern software architectures, cloud platforms, and enterprise SaaS deployment models, sufficient to evaluate security findings in architectural context, not just in the abstract.
- Proven experience in threat intelligence, CVE management, and security incident response, including hands-on involvement in active incidents.
- Exceptional communication skills across audiences, able to brief executives on what matters and advise engineers precisely on what to do.
- Experience influencing stakeholders outside of your team and business unit.
- Maintains accountability for software lifecycle, customer-impacting issues, and continuous improvement.
