Security Engineering Manager (m/w/d)

The Security Engineering Manager owns Maltego’s operational security function and leads the team that protects our infrastructure, product, and corporate environment. This is a hands-on technical role combined with people leadership

You will run detection and incident response, harden our multi-cloud and endpoint estate, embed security into engineering workflows, and build the practices and team that scale with the company. You act as the technical authority for operational security while partnering closely with Engineering, Corporate IT, and our Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) function. Reporting initially to the Head of Infrastructure & Operations, you set operational security direction independently and translate risk into concrete, prioritized action. Success in the first phase means a well-instrumented and measurable security posture, reliable incident response, and a team operating to clearly defined technical standards.

This is a people-management position. You will begin by coordinating external contractors and working students, and are expected to lead a dedicated operational security team as Maltego scales – owning hiring, development, and performance for your direct reports while remaining hands-on technically.

 

Current Environment (you will shape and evolve this) Cloud: Azure (primary), AWS, GCP. Detection & response: Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM), Microsoft Defender (EDR/XDR). Data & endpoint: Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Intune, Windows and macOS. Application & vulnerability security: Snyk, Nessus. Compliance automation: Vanta.
