Senior Engineering Manager, Security & IT

Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source. We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open-source project is FingerprintJS (27K stars on GitHub). We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman , Apollo.io, MinIO , Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle ). We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored. The Role in Context Fingerprint's security, IT, and compliance function is more mature than most companies of this size: SOC 2 Type 2 + HIPAA achieved, a comprehensive policy suite in place, and solid IT operations running globally. What the function now needs is strategic leadership: someone who can unify security posture, IT operations, and compliance under a coherent strategy, mature each discipline to the next level, and be the credible voice of security and compliance to the rest of the engineering org and to enterprise customers. We're looking for a Senior Manager, Security & IT to own this function end-to-end, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering.

Enterprise customers — many of whom are financial institutions and large-scale fraud prevention operators — regularly ask about Fingerprint's security posture. You'll be the person who owns that answer. Your Mission Unify and mature the function — Security, IT, and compliance have operated as separate workstreams. You create a coherent strategy across all three, with shared standards, shared risk language, and a roadmap that scales with the business Own the security posture — Application security, zero-trust principles, vulnerability management, and security-by-default practices across the engineering org — you set the standard, you hold it, and you work across teams to embed it Scale the compliance program — The next horizon is expanding scope, maturing evidence collection, and positioning Fingerprint for compliance requirements as enterprise deals grow Run reliable IT operations — 100% remote, globally distributed engineering org. IT operations is a critical function that serves every Fingerprint employee. You own the tooling, the processes, and the reliability of those systems Be the security voice to customers and leadership — Enterprise customers, prospects, and partners regularly evaluate Fingerprint's security posture. You represent it credibly, own the security questionnaire process, and communicate risk and posture to the VP and leadership team What You'll Do Security Strategy & Application Security Define and own Fingerprint's application security roadmap: vulnerability management, penetration testing program, security review process for new features and architectural changes Build security-by-default practices into engineering workflows — not as a gate, but as a capability every engineering team has Own the vendor security assessment process — Fingerprint handles sensitive customer data for major enterprise customers; you ensure third parties meet the bar Define zero-trust security principles and ensure they're embedded in the Cloud Platform and engineering org Compliance & GRC Own the SOC 2 Type 2 annual audit cycle — evidence collection, auditor management, control…
