Engineering Manager, Security
$196k - $240k USD
ABOUT THE TEAM
Enterprise Security builds the products that let CISOs and IT admins trust Mural with their most sensitive work. We own capabilities like DLP policy management, SIEM integrations, audit logging, data residency controls, and customer-managed encryption—each with its own SKU and direct line to enterprise revenue. This team is getting expanded investment and dedicated focus; you'll own its direction and roadmap.
YOUR MISSION
You will build and lead the team responsible for Mural's enterprise security product suite—features that directly determine whether we win or lose six- and seven-figure deals. You will own the technical direction for products serving IT admins and CISOs, partnering with a PM who brings deep enterprise customer success experience. You will ship DLP and real-time SIEM integrations in your first year while establishing Enterprise Security as a standalone product area with a clear identity and roadmap. This isn't feature work buried in a platform—you'll have P&L-level visibility into how your team's output drives ARR.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Lead technical execution hands-on: Contribute to the codebase alongside your team (30-40% of your time), set the technical bar for enterprise-grade security products, and own the quality of what ships—because enterprise customers don't get second chances on trust
Ship the security roadmap: Deliver DLP policy management and real-time SIEM integrations in your first 6-12 months, working backward from what CISOs actually need to approve Mural for their organizations
Build a team with clear ownership: Define Enterprise Security's identity as a product area, establish the metrics that matter (adoption, deal win rate, ARR from security SKUs), and create the roadmap that keeps enterprise customers buying and renewing
Partner deeply with Product: Work as a true peer with your PM—no handoffs or waterfalls. You'll shape what gets built based on technical feasibility and customer signal, and you'll own the final call on what goes to production
Maintain enterprise-grade operational excellence: Ensure your services meet the audit, compliance, and uptime expectations that enterprise customers demand—because security features that go down undermine the trust they're supposed to create
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
Enterprise security product experience (required): You've built security capabilities for CISO and IT admin personas before—DLP, SIEM integrations, access controls, audit logging, or similar. You understand the buyer, the compliance landscape, and why "good enough" doesn't exist in this space
Deep technical expertise: 5+ years shipping production code, ideally with Node.js/TypeScript and React, though we welcome strong engineers from other modern stacks who learn fast. You can credibly lead technical decisions and stay close enough to the work to catch problems early
Engineering leadership experience: 2+ years managing a team of at least 3 engineers, with a track record of building high-performing teams that ship complex products—not just features
Outcome-oriented and experimental with AI: You're either already using AI tools throughout the development lifecycle or eager to make them core to how you and your team work. This isn't optional at Mural—but we'll meet you where you are if the intent is there
Ownership and pathfinding: You take full accountability for your team's outcomes and can create clarity for your engineers even when the path forward isn't fully mapped. You define the metrics that matter and drive toward them
Remote-first fluency: You default to async communication, work in public (Slack, docs, Mural boards), and know how to build team cohesion without relying on hallway conversations
Nice to Have
Experience with compliance frameworks enterprise customers care about (SOC2, FedRAMP, GDPR) from a product perspective
Background in integrations with enterprise security tooling (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, etc.)
Prior experience at a company navigating the SMB-to-enterprise transition
The base salary + variable pay for this role ranges from $196,000 - $240,000 + benefits. Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. .
