About the role
- Own the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle: discovery, prioritization, remediation tracking, and validation
- Maintain accurate asset and exposure visibility across endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, SaaS, and internet-facing systems
- Perform regular vulnerability scanning and ad-hoc assessments
- Prioritize remediation based on real-world risk, considering:
- - Exploitability and threat intelligence
- - Asset criticality and business impact
- - Exposure (internet-facing, privileged systems, sensitive data)
- Reduce vulnerability noise by deduplicating findings and focusing teams on what matters most
- Track remediation progress and validate fixes
- Identify and eliminate unmanaged or unknown assets, legacy systems with chronic vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations that expand attack surface
- Partner with IT and Engineering to improve patching cadence
- Conduct targeted threat analysis and light threat hunting to identify exploitation attempts and abnormal authentication or privilege activity
- Work closely with IT, Engineering, and Infrastructure teams to drive remediation outcomes
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in security engineering, vulnerability management, or a closely related discipline
- Strong working knowledge of common vulnerability classes, exploitation techniques, and attacker methodologies
- Solid foundation in operating systems, networking concepts, and cloud fundamentals
