Engineering at Vinted is divided into the Marketplace, VintedGo, and Payments business units, as well as Group Security and Group Infrastructure. There are four teams (growing to five) in Group Security covering: Application Security, Physical Security, Security Incident Response, Security Awareness, Cyber Threat Intelligence, Web Application Firewalls, Business Continuity Management, Cyber Risk Management, Identity and Access Management., and privacy engineering. The teams are led by Engineering Managers, who will report to you, together with a staff engineer. 

With the addition of this Director of Engineering, we aim to deepen our competencies in the security space, driven by our ongoing geographic expansion (we are launching Vinted in the USA) and by ever-increasing global security threats.

• Ensure the planning and delivery of platform security capabilities that serve all business units and holistically address all aspects of security.
• Address cross-cutting security concerns systematically and in a timely manner. Most of them will be outside your own organization, requiring leading via influence.
• Balance security enforcement and “security as an enabler” mindsets.
• Create, align, and execute the Group Security strategy together with your team. In practice, you have an up-to-date problem-space “heat map” and are cautious about which parts to address and how.
• Act as an ambassador of security in the organization.
• Understand and anticipate the needs of business units (marketplace, payments, and shipping) in your domain, and meet them in alignment with respective stakeholders.
• Search for organizational efficiency all the time (processes and procedures between the teams, change management, talent development, team member experience, overall domain budget).
• Lead and support your team of 5 Engineering Managers and a Staff Engineer. Focus on their professional and personal development to ensure high team performance.

• You have led teams at scale to achieve good results.
• You possess an innate interest in the field of security and privacy.
• You are a strong communicator. You build solid relationships. Radical candor is a thing you live.
