About the team & opportunity 

Calendly’s Foundational Product Capabilities organization is the backbone of how we build secure, reliable, and intelligent products at scale. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Trust & Safety (T&S) And Identity & Access Management (IAM) engineering teams — the groups responsible for keeping our platform safe, secure, & compliant.

You’ll play a crucial role in shaping our platform’s security and integrity by leading both Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Trust & Safety initiatives. You'll design, develop, and maintain Identity, AuthN and AuthZ services that empower our engineering teams while ensuring scalability, resiliency, and performance. Simultaneously, you'll oversee our Trust & Safety efforts, and build capabilities for fraud prevention, abuse mitigation, and compliance through automated, real-time threat detection and response. You’ll partner closely with Product, Security, and Platform teams to shape how Calendly manages identity, authorization, and abuse prevention across current and future products. We value leaders who are excited to incorporate AI into engineering practices as well as into the products and platforms their teams own. Your technical expertise and leadership will directly influence platform architecture and engineering best practices, driving the success of our products.

Why do we need you? Well, we are looking for an Engineering Manager who has a strong background in people leadership; brings strong domain experience in these domains, technical competency and distributed systems experience; enjoys solving complex problems with a results driven mindset; and fosters a strong sense of ownership and operational excellence. You will report to the Head of Foundational Product Capabilities in this role.
