provide clear expectations and feedback; and create opportunities for engineers to expand their technical judgment, leadership, and impact. - Guide evidence-based decisions: Ensure that attacker evidence, product context, and measurable outcomes inform technical abuse requirements, control designs, and investment decisions. - Drive secure control design: Partner with Application Security and product engineering teams to develop safeguards that are resilient, appropriately scoped, and compatible with the systems in which they operate. - Oversee experimentation: Guide experiments that assess risk reduction and the effect of controls on legitimate user conversion, helping the team make informed tradeoffs and refine its approach. - Build durable defenses: Ensure the team develops regression tests and other mechanisms that can detect whether previously mitigated abuse patterns recur. - Manage control incubation: Establish clear success measures, operational expectations, documentation, destination owners, handoff criteria, and target dates for incubated controls. - Complete ownership handoffs: Hold the team and its partners accountable for transferring successful controls to the product teams that permanently own the relevant surfaces, except where a control is intentionally maintained as a durable capability serving multiple products. - Lead cross-functional execution: Align security, product, engineering, and other partners around priorities, tradeoffs, responsibilities, and delivery plans, including in situations that require urgent coordination. ## Requirements - Experience managing an engineering team, including setting direction, prioritizing work, and being accountable for delivery and technical outcomes. - A relevant technical foundation in software engineering, security engineering, application security, anti-abuse engineering, or a closely related field, developed through professional experience, education, or an equivalent path. - Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers with different levels of experience, including providing actionable feedback and supporting career growth. - Experience leading cross-functional technical work involving teams with different goals, areas of expertise, or ownership boundaries. - Ability to evaluate technical designs, ask effective questions, and guide engineering decisions involving reliability, security, risk, and product tradeoffs. - Experience communicating technical strategy, priorities, risks, and decisions clearly to engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders. - Ability to create clarity in ambiguous or urgent situations and translate broad risk problems into actionable plans, ownership, and measurable outcomes. ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience guiding experimentation or A/B testing, including evaluating control effectiveness and balancing risk reduction against effects on legitimate user conversion. - Knowledge of threat modeling, secure systems design, or modern application security practices. - Familiarity with API safeguards and abuse controls such as rate limits, authorization checks, input validation, step-up challenges, or related protective mechanisms. - Knowledge of financial-fraud patterns, attacker behavior, attack methods, or the infrastructure used to conduct abuse. - Experience using or overseeing work involving large-scale data platforms to analyze system activity, identify patterns, or measure control performance. - Experience incubating technical capabilities and transferring them to long-term owners through explicit success criteria, documentation, operational readiness, and target dates. - Experience leading a distributed team or coordinating execution across teams in multiple locations or time zones. ## Skills ### Required - software engineering - security engineering - application security - anti-abuse engineering - technical leadership - team management - cross-functional collaboration ### Nice to have - experimentation - A/B testing - threat modeling - secure systems design - API safeguards - abuse controls - financial-fraud patterns - attacker behavior - large-scale data platforms --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/stripe/jobs/8172489?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
