The Security Engineering Manager leads day-to-day operations of the Smartstream Security Engineering organisation - a Centre of Excellence team, that closely collaborates with embedded Security Engineers aligned to product lines, and a Security Champions community across engineering and business applications - owning execution of Secure SDLC, AppSec, and product-side cloud security across the product portfolio.

This is a player-manager role: set strategy and run the team but also engage personally with the most complex security initiatives, customer audits, regulatory exchanges, and incident escalations.

Requirements

Team leadership. Lead and grow a multi-disciplinary Security Engineering team across the Centre of Excellence and embedded engineer pods. Own hiring, performance, and career development; inspire and actively mentor the team
Secure SDLC governance Own and govern the Secure SDLC framework across the product portfolio, including security policies, standards, controls, and integration of security requirements throughout the software development lifecycle




Drive adoption of secure engineering practices, including SAST, SCA, AI-assisted code reviews, LLM-driven vulnerability scanning, and threat modelling, while advancing security maturity aligned with OWASP SAMM / BSIMM practices
Threat modelling & risk assessment. Sponsor early-stage architectural evaluations and threat-modelling reviews for current features, products, and material design changes - identifying and mitigating risks before code ships
VulnOps. Oversee the unified vulnerability-operations function - a single risk-scored backlog consolidating findings from SAST, DAST, SCA, container/IaC, secret scanning, CSPM, and pen testing. Drive remediation through ASPM/RBVM-powered prioritisation (exploitability, reachability, business impact), deduplication, automated fixes, and SLA-driven cadence with engineering - reducing noise to engineering and bringing down mean-time-to-remediate
Supply chain security.
