The security of our customers’ data, the trust of our partners, and the velocity of our engineering teams all hinge on the strength of our application and platform security programs. As our security posture continues to mature, we are investing in the leadership required to drive that maturity forward. We are looking for a Manager, Security Engineering to join our Cybersecurity Department. This person will lead a combined team of Application Security and Platform Security engineers, with end-to-end ownership of how TTD secures both the code we ship and the infrastructure we run it on. Reporting within the Cybersecurity organization, this leader will contribute to the strategy, roadmap, and execution of TTD’s Security Engineering function — including the KPIs, maturity model, and executive-level reporting that demonstrate measurable improvement in our overall security posture over time. The right candidate brings deep application and platform security expertise, a track record of building and developing high-performing teams, a strong bias to action, and the ability to t ranslate technical risk into business outcomes for engineering leaders, product leaders, and executives. Beyond the technical and program experience, we are looking for a leader with the human qualities that make a security team effective.
