Description
You will own vulnerability management from discovery through remediation verification. You will investigate and prioritize findings, build automation, operate application-security tools, validate vulnerabilities, perform targeted security reviews, integrate controls into CI/CD, develop risk metrics, and support incident response for exploited vulnerabilities.
Responsibilities
- Improve vulnerability management across applications, dependencies, containers, operating systems, cloud infrastructure, and external services
- Use AI agents and security models for vulnerability discovery, analysis, testing, prioritization, and remediation
- Analyze vulnerabilities based on exploitability, exposure, assets, mitigations, and business impact
- Triage findings and drive risk-based remediation with engineering teams
- Build automation for vulnerability workflows and reporting
- Identify systemic vulnerability patterns and address root causes
- Operate SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container scanning, infrastructure scanning, and attack-surface monitoring
- Validate findings through technical investigation and hands-on testing
- Perform targeted application-security reviews and testing
- Integrate security controls into CI/CD and developer workflows
- Develop vulnerability and remediation metrics
- Support incident response for actively exploited vulnerabilities
Requirements
- Application or product security fundamentals and vulnerability-management experience
- Knowledge of vulnerability classes and exploitation techniques across web applications, APIs, authentication, cloud services, containers, and software supply chains
- Ability to read code and collaborate with software engineers on remediation
- Experience with vulnerability scanning and application-security technologies
- Knowledge of CVSS, exploitability, asset criticality, internet exposure, compensating controls, and threat intelligence
- Ability to investigate security findings manually
- Ability to automate security workflows with Python, Go, or similar languages
- Experience integrating security tooling into CI/CD
- Experience with Linux, Git, containers, and cloud environments
- Security-risk communication skills
