About The Position

Monarch is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Application & Product Security squad. Reporting directly to the Head of Foundations, you will own the direction of product, application, and AI security at a company where security is a competitive differentiator and a genuine reflection of how much we care about our members. This is a player-coach role where people leadership comes first — you'll set strategy, build structure, and develop a high-performing team — but you're expected to stay hands-on. You'll do the work alongside your team, not just direct it.

• Hands on experience building scalable Product Security programs
• Deep expertise in application security, secure SDLC, and vulnerability management
• Experience owning offensive security programs (pentesting, bug bounty, or IR)
• Demonstrated ability to build structure, define KPIs, and drive teams toward measurable outcomes
• Transformative AI fluency — you actively use and drive AI-first approaches in your work

Nice To Haves

• Experience in fintech or with financial data security requirements
• Hands-on perpetration testing and offensive security experience
• Familiarity with SOC 2, NIST CSF, or similar compliance frameworks
• Hands-on experience with CSPM, SAST/DAST tooling, or AI security tooling
• Prior experience at a company scaling or similar growth stage

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the Application & Product Security squad, defining the team's charter, KPIs, and roadmap and holding the team accountable to measurable outcomes
• Combining strong engineering execution with strategic leadership to drive the squad forward
• Own the strategic direction of product, application, and AI security — translating business and regulatory risk into a clear, prioritized program
• Drive vulnerability management end-to-end with urgency, owning reporting across Monarch's product surface area
• Lead offensive security programs including penetration testing, bug bounty, and threat detection & incident response
• Embed AI-first, automated approaches to securing the engineering pipeline and SDLC — replacing manual processes with AI agents where appropriate

Benefits

• Work wherever you want! As a fully remote company with no central office, we want you to work wherever you are happiest and most productive. Whether that’s out of your home, a co-working space, or elsewhere.
• Competitive cash and equity compensation in a hyper growth, early stage company 🚀.
• Stipend to set-up your ideal working environment.
• Competitive Benefit Plans for employees based on your location (e.g. in the US we offer: Medical, dental and vision benefits and the ability to contribute to a 401k plan).
• Unlimited PTO.
• 3 day weekend every month! We take off the “First Friday” every month to focus on rest, recuperation, or just having fun!
