Warby Parker is on the lookout for a Director, Infrastructure & Security to
ensure the reliability, scalability, resilience, and availability for our
enterprise technology infrastructure. In this strategic leadership role,
you’ll reorganize and guide a slew of managers and their teams, including
the Site Reliability Engineering, Network Engineering and Security
Operations, Tech Services, and Vendor Management and Budgeting teams. This
skillful group wears many hats, building and producing Warby Parker’s
engineering infrastructure; IT systems; retail, lab, and office networks;
and security systems that keep our customers and employees cyber-safe.

In collaboration with the CTO and Engineering management, you’ll be
responsible for preventing, detecting, and responding to enterprise data
security issues. IT compliance and disaster recovery will fall under your
leadership umbrella too. We’ll also count on you to not only ensure the
scalability and stability of all key systems across the business, but also
act in a cost-conscious manner through careful budgeting.

Our ideal candidate is a seasoned leader with sound knowledge of technology
management, cybersecurity, and business operations. You’re capable of
balancing the risk-averse nature of information security with the
innovative infrastructure needs of our evolving business. This role
requires entrepreneurial execution and strategic planning to continuously
deliver at our current scale while building capabilities for exponential
growth. Equally important is your ability to collaborate and orchestrate
work across departments, namely our Technology, Finance, Retail, and
Construction teams. Sound like your dream gig? Read on!

   Infrastructure department, inclusive of our Site Reliability Engineering,

   standards and controls, managing infrastructure and security technologies,
   and implementing policies and procedures

   achieve those goals
   - Control the annual operating and capital expenditure budget for Warby
   Parker’s technology vendor expenses and cybersecurity; make sure this
   budget is consistent and compliant with the company’s overall strategic
   objectives
   - Drive the ongoing development of various security and compliance
   initiatives: threat and vulnerability management, identity and access
   management, HIPAA/SOX/PCI compliance, and security awareness
   - Implement all IT policies, procedures, and governance for
   architecture, security, disaster recovery, standards, purchasing, and
   service provision
   - Establish and maintain regular written and in-person communication
   with Warby Parker executives, department heads, and end-users

*Who you are:*

   - Backed by 8+ years of leadership experience
   - Possessing a background in information security and technology
   infrastructure
   - Someone who has successfully managed and mentored at least 15 people
   - An excellent written and verbal communicator with fantastic
   interpersonal and collaborative skills

   technical and nontechnical people with various levels of experience,
   ranging from board members to technical specialists
   - A organizational mastermind who can handle multiple projects and meet

*About Warby Parker:*

Warby Parker was founded in 2010 with a lofty objective: to offer designer
eyewear at a revolutionary price while leading the way for socially
conscious businesses. By circumventing traditional channels and designing
our frames in house, we’re able to offer insanely high-quality eyewear at
decidedly non-insane prices (i.e., from $95 with prescription lenses—a
fraction of the going price!).

In the last eight years, we’ve grown to over 60 retail locations in the
U.S. and Canada, opened our first optical lab in upstate New York, and
launched two of our own iOS apps. And for three years running, Fast Company
has named us one of the world’s most innovative companies.

We also hold ourselves to the highest standards of social and environmental
responsibility. This means lots of different things, like operating
carbon-neutrally and distributing a pair of glasses to someone in need for
every pair we sell. (We’re big believers that businesses can scale and be
profitable while doing good in the world.)

Of course, all work and no play makes an extremely dull office, and no one
likes an extremely dull office. (We sure don’t.) As an employee at Warby
Parker, you can look forward to company outings, guest speakers,
volunteering opportunities, and other brain- (and/or taste-bud-)
stimulating activities. It also doesn’t hurt that our team is just great
company.

*Some benefits and perks of working at Warby Parker:*

   - Health, vision, and dental insurance
   - Flexible “My Time” vacation policy
   - Retirement savings plan with a company match
   - Parental leave (non-birthing parents included)
   - Cell phone plan reimbursement
   - A health-and-wellness stipend
   - Free eyewear (plus discounts for friends and family)
   - And more (just ask!)
