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.
• 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
