Director, Security Engineering - i3E

Job description

Are you interested in solving complex problems that lead to safer experiences for people using Meta’s products? Do you have an adversarial mindset and are excited about leading the pods that investigate and disrupt the most serious threats to our community? Come join us at Meta! Meta is seeking an experienced security engineering leader to lead the Integrity Investigations, Intelligence, and Events organization (i3E). i3E protects the people who use Meta’s products from the worst-of-the-worst threat actors that cause real-world harm. The organization investigates complex adversarial behavior, scales investigative insight into durable defenses, and works across product, engineering, policy, legal, and public affairs to deter that activity. The range of threats is vast: fraud and scams, human exploitation and youth safety, dangerous organizations, nation-state threats, compromise, and the emerging abuse of generative AI; while the impact of this work is substantial. In this role you will lead an organization of security engineer and security analyst investigators operating as a set of pods, each grouped under a manager and a technical lead, spanning several distinct harm domains. You will own the strategy for how Meta investigates adversarial threats at scale: what we investigate, how we convert investigative findings into enforcement and product defenses, and how we measure whether the work is reducing harm. You will be accountable for the capability and resilience of the organization — including growing the leadership bench and developing the next generation of investigative experts. We are looking for a leader who is credible with investigators and engineers alike, who can set direction in a domain where the adversary adapts continuously, and who is deliberate about building an organization that outlasts any individual. This person will be a thought leader on investigative practice at Meta, will influence cross-functional roadmaps and strategic investments well beyond their own teams, and will be a driving force in making investigative work AI-native by redesigning how investigations are done rather than adding tools to existing workflows.
