Job Details

Who we are

At Fortis Games we aspire to make great games that bring people together while redefining how game companies work. We believe in building a sense of belonging through our games, their communities, and how we operate and treat each other. Through our game communities, we will create powerful connections and lasting memories. We will foster a culture of diversity, equity and belonging where together our diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds impact the games we make.

We are an early but mighty organization with a leadership team of game industry veterans. There are many opportunities for you to have a big impact on the products we'll be making as well as the overall direction of the company. If you're passionate about tackling difficult problems with direct and thoughtful communication and team first mentality, we may be the right place for you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Security Engineering Manager to lead and scale our security engineering efforts across cloud infrastructure and application security. This role is critical to building a secure foundation for game development and publishing at Fortis. You’ll manage a growing team of security engineers, own the strategy and execution of secure systems design, and work cross-functionally with developers, infrastructure, and partner teams to embed security into everything we do.

What You’ll Achieve

Team Leadership & Execution

  • Manage and mentor a high-impact team of cloud and application security engineers.

  • Own and drive technical delivery across cloud security, secure SDLC automation, and application security initiatives.

  • Guide implementation of security frameworks and standards (NIST 800-53, OWASP, CIS Benchmarks).

  • Define and report on KRI/KPI metrics that measure the health and maturity of the security engineering program.

Infrastructure & Cloud Security

  • Lead secure configuration and hardening across AWS environments, Kubernetes (EKS), and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Oversee deployment, tuning, and operational success of tools like SAST, DAST, and CSPM.

  • Tune and enrich Web Application Firewall (WAF) signals to improve threat detection and reduce noise.

Application & API Security

  • Champion secure development practices, including threat modeling, secure coding, and toolchain integration (SAST/SCA/DAST).

  • Validate the security of APIs and SDKs used across our live game services and third-party platforms.

Tooling & Automation

  • Automate security baselines and controls using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.

  • Streamline tooling signal-to-noise across platforms including CrowdStrike, Datadog, Abnormal Security, and Valimail.

Collaboration & Enablement

  • Act as a key security partner to engineering leads, embedding security reviews into architecture and design workflows.

  • Support publishing partners in adopting and aligning with Fortis SSDLC and security checklist requirements.

What You’ll Need to Be Successful

  • 6+ years in Security Engineering or DevSecOps, with at least 2 years in a leadership or management capacity.

  • Deep hands-on expertise in AWS security, Kubernetes/EKS, and securing CI/CD pipelines.

  • Proven experience implementing and operating tools such as SAST, DAST, and CSPM in production environments.

  • Strong background in secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) and developer enablement.

  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and automation practices.

  • Exceptional communication and program management skills, especially across cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or OSCP are a plus but not required.

Why join us

There are many reasons to join us, but here are a few:

  • We strongly believe we are changing how games studios operate and at the core of what we do is making great games that create a connected community
  • We're not just about making Games Where You Belong. We're also about building communities where our people belong. That's why Fortis is a thriving environment that celebrates diversity, embraces inclusivity, and fosters growth.
  • Build and grow with a seasoned team of accomplished talent who have left an impactful mark in their disciplines, both in and out of gaming
