We are looking for a technically deep Engineering Manager to lead our Security Product Engineering team. This team owns the authentication and authorization services that underpin the entire ActiveCampaign platform — the systems that determine who gets in, what they can do, and how we prove it. You will also drive the consolidation of identity services onto a centralized platform and mature the broader platform security. This is a high-impact, player-coach role. You will lead a small, experienced team of 4–5 engineers while staying close enough to the code and architecture to make real technical decisions. You will directly report to our Head of Global Security, Risk and Compliance and partner closely with Platform Engineering, Product, and other security functions to translate complex security requirements into seamless, centralized identity services. You aren’t just approving decisions; you are deep in the architecture, guiding a senior team to eliminate technical debt and build a hardened, 'security-by-default' future that directly enables our company’s global trajectory.
Job Responsibility:
Lead and develop a team of senior and staff-level engineers
Spearhead the migration and standardization of identity services onto a centralized platform
Drive operational excellence by hardening the existing identity stack
Participate in architectural and code reviews
Partner with engineering teams across the organization to improve their integration experience with identity services
Collaborate with security and compliance teams to ensure identity architecture supports regulatory requirements and fraud prevention initiatives
Shape the security culture by moving the team toward broader platform security concerns
Represent the team in incident reviews and cross-functional planning
Requirements:
5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with significant depth in identity, authentication, or authorization systems
3+ years of engineering management experience leading engineers
Hands-on, current technical skills to read and review code, evaluate architecture decisions, and credibly challenge or support your team's technical direction
Proven success in system consolidation
Strong understanding of modern identity protocols and standards (authentication, authorization, federation, token-based architectures)
Strategic vision to see beyond identity, with a background in infrastructure hardening and secure development lifecycles (SDLC)
Strong communication skills to translate identity and security concepts for product managers, platform engineers, and executives without losing the technical substance
Nice to have:
Experience working in a SaaS environment with multi-tenant identity concerns and the security implications that come with them
Background in platform or application security beyond identity — secure development lifecycle, infrastructure hardening
You've built or significantly improved developer-facing documentation, SDKs, or integration guides for identity services
Experience operating in a security organization that functions as an engineering team, not a compliance checkpoint
