About this role

Lead Software Engineer, Security New York, New York SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we're simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry. SeatGeek is looking for a security engineering professional for our Security team. As a Lead Software Engineer, Security, you'll be involved in a mix of incident response, threat hunting, security engineering, and a trace of red teaming. You'll be leading critical security initiatives that strengthen our secure-by-default posture across our platform, products, and company. You'll pair architectural guidance with hands-on engineering - building paved roads, tooling, and automated detection/response that scale. You'll operate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, partnering with both engineering and non-engineering teams to reduce risk without slowing builders down. As a lead engineer, you'll own high-impact work end-to-end, mentor teammates, and help shape the roadmap and culture that make the secure path the easy path - from cloud and code to laptops, identity, email, and awareness. What you'll do - Deliver proactive, secure-by-default protections across the stack (cloud, CI/CD, applications, and endpoints) by creating paved roads and guardrails that reduce risk at scale and become the default way to build - Provide practical security guidance on new products and technologies, emphasizing secure-by-default patterns that fit seamlessly into existing workflows - Lead design reviews and threat modeling for high-impact features and services; identify risks early and ensure mitigations are designed in - Build and scale security tooling that prevents issues at build/deploy time and automates detection
