Engineering Manager, Red Team

At DoorDash, we’re not just connecting people with their favorite meals; we’re building a multi sided marketplace that touches millions of lives daily. This means our security challenges are as vast and exciting as our platform itself. We’re searching for a dynamic offensive security leader to join our mission critical Red Team. If you’re a passionate strategist who loves getting hands on, ready to dive deep into complex systems, and eager to shape the future of security for a global brand, this is your chance to make a monumental impact.

Overview

DoorDash’s Red Team actively seeks out critical attack paths before real adversaries ever can. Our work spans the entire adversary simulation lifecycle, from carefully scoping threat informed engagements and executing realistic attack chains, to collaborating closely with engineering and detection teams to effectively close any gaps we uncover. Our attack surface is incredibly diverse, encompassing consumer and merchant data, sophisticated payment systems, intricate driver logistics, and the robust cloud based infrastructure holding it all together. We need an offensive security expert who stays deeply connected to the technical work. As the Engineering Manager for the Red Team, you will guide an existing team, enhance its capabilities, grow our talent, and forge vital partnerships that translate red team findings into tangible engineering improvements. This is a role for a leader who coaches while remaining hands on, someone who sets the strategic direction while staying involved with engagement scoping, tradecraft development, and tooling decisions. You will report directly to the Director of Global Security Services for a fully remote opportunity, accessible worldwide.
