Job Description
At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level and live longer through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives. Protecting our members’ data and ensuring our systems scale securely and reliably is core to this mission.

As a Senior Software Engineering Manager at WHOOP, you will play a critical leadership role as part of our cross-functional Platform organization. You will build, lead, and grow multiple teams responsible for protecting the security and privacy of our members by driving secure development practices, managing product-facing security programs, and building scalable security solutions.

In addition to core product security responsibilities, you will be responsible for collaborating closely with cross-functional partners across Product, Software, Legal, and Compliance to achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance across WHOOP’s products and infrastructure. We are seeking a leader with prior experience helping an organization transition into HIPAA-compliant standards, capable of aligning technical execution with regulatory and business objectives.

On the people management side, you will manage and mentor a team of engineers, provide regular performance feedback, and ensure professional development and growth. You will work to foster a culture of innovation, teamwork, psychological safety, and continuous learning. You are responsible for promoting a positive work environment where all team members feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Build, lead, and grow multiple engineering teams executing on WHOOP’s product security strategy, including member authentication, vulnerability management, cloud governance, privacy rights fulfillment, and threat modeling.
  • Oversee and drive WHOOP’s engineering readiness for HIPAA compliance, coordinating technical implementation, evidence collection, and ongoing governance activities across teams.
  • Define and communicate long-term security strategy, architecture, and design principles for product-facing systems.
  • Partner with engineering and compliance leadership to embed security and privacy by design across the software development lifecycle.
  • Establish and enforce best practices, standards, and processes for secure software development, testing, and deployment.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance team productivity, quality, and overall business impact.
  • Provide mentorship, guidance, and career development for engineering managers and individual contributors.
  • Foster a culture of innovation, teamwork, psychological safety, and continuous learning within the Product Security organization.
QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Proven experience as a technical leader managing multiple teams or a growing security engineering organization.
  • Experience growing high level individual contributor career growth at the staff level or higher.
  • Demonstrated success leading security or compliance initiatives in a regulated environment, preferably HIPAA or other health data compliance frameworks.
  • Deep understanding of product security principles, including vulnerability management, data privacy, threat modeling, and secure software development.
  • Experience building or integrating developer security tooling to improve secure-by-default practices.
  • Strong technical background in software development, testing, and deployment processes.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills with the ability to influence across teams and levels.
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Experience with AWS cloud environments and data-driven decision-making.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure and cloud security in containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Background in incident response and post-mortem analysis for security events.
  • Familiarity with automation frameworks for vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, or infrastructure security.
  • Prior experience scaling a product security or compliance engineering organization through major regulatory transitions (e.g., SOC 2 → HIPAA, or HIPAA → HITRUST).
ABOUT YOU:
  • You’re a strategic and people-focused leader who thrives on balancing hands-on technical oversight with long-term organizational growth.
  • You have experience building and scaling teams to meet new regulatory and business demands.
  • You’re passionate about creating secure, privacy-first systems that protect member data and enable innovation.
  • You collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams and can operate confidently in both strategic and tactical domains.
  • Above all, you believe that security and compliance are enablers of innovation, and you lead by fostering a culture that supports both speed and safety.
