Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
The Community You Will Join:
The Security team plays a critical role in maintaining and building our community’s trust in our platform that enables millions of users to explore the world and belong anywhere. As a critical horizontal function within Airbnb, Information Security spans the scope of the company and organizations that make it up to secure Airbnb giving anyone who joins the team the ability to see all aspects of the business.
The Difference You Will Make:
The Sr. Manager, Security Engineering will be responsible for continuing to advance and scale the technical preventions across our production, corp, and third party environments. This role will support the Infrastructure Security and Application Security functions with a focus on full tech stack security. This role and the teams they support will partner with our in-domain detection, response, and validation functions; our program management, product management, technical leadership, and software engineering functions; and key crossfunctional stakeholders to develop, plan, execute, measure, and improve the relevant in-domain security areas.
This role will be afforded a high degree of autonomy and will be looked at to further define capabilities and/or establish new ones to continue maturing and scaling the technical protections within their area of responsibility.. The applicable scope is across prod, corp, and third parties inclusive of relevant technology, processes, and people. This role is intended to be highly cross-functional and expected to work in concert with complementary functions such as broader engineering functions, TPM, and relevant business partners. This role will ultimately be accountable for further establishing and driving the advancement of security protections in their space.
The person that fills this role will not be a security zealot. They understand the balance between business needs and how to mitigate security risk presented. They believe maintaining or improving our security posture does not come at the expense of friction while keeping stakeholder’s objectives in mind all the time. They do not think of security as a function that says no, and instead, view it as a function that helps find the path to yes, securely. They are comfortable that when the business makes a decision that may not be the most secure, it then becomes their job to help minimize the risk this decision presents.
