Additional information

The Vulnerability Engineer III builds and scales vulnerability management and exposure reduction capabilities across the enterprise technology ecosystem. The role leads complex vulnerability assessments and response activities, combines technical validation with threat and asset context, drives remediation across multiple engineering teams, and develops automation, standards, and analytics that improve coverage, prioritization, and measurable risk reduction.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities

• Lead complex vulnerability assessments and exposure analysis across hybrid infrastructure, endpoints, networks, cloud platforms, containers, data platforms, and externally accessible services.
• Validate and contextualize high-risk findings using exploit intelligence, attack-path analysis, asset criticality, business impact, compensating controls, and hands-on technical investigation.
• Lead organizational response to critical and emerging vulnerabilities, including impact analysis, scoping, stakeholder coordination, remediation strategy, executive updates, and closure assurance.
• Drive vulnerability triage, prioritization, exception analysis, remediation planning, escalation, retesting, and risk reporting across multiple technology teams.
• Design and maintain production-quality tooling, integrations, data pipelines, and automation for discovery, enrichment, normalization, deduplication, validation, ticketing, orchestration, and reporting.
• Improve assessment coverage and accuracy by resolving systemic issues involving asset inventory, ownership, credentials, network reachability, cloud connectors, tagging, and scanner configuration.
• Translate recurring exposure patterns into secure configuration standards, patching guardrails, remediation playbooks, service-level expectations, and preventive controls.
• Define meaningful metrics and analytics that measure exploitable exposure, risk concentration, aging, remediation effectiveness, coverage, exceptions, and control performance.
• Partner with infrastructure, cloud, network, endpoint, platform, application, architecture, incident response, audit, and risk teams to drive durable remediation outcomes.
• Mentor engineers, improve technical review quality, and provide leadership during urgent or high-consequence vulnerability events.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum 3-5 years of direct vulnerability management, vulnerability assessment, attack surface management, threat exposure management, or security operations experience.
• Experience with risk-based vulnerability management, continuous threat exposure management, external attack surface management, attack-path analysis, or breach and attack simulation.
• Experience building automated vulnerability validation, remediation orchestration, exception governance, risk scoring, and executive or engineering reporting capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Splunk, Power BI, or comparable analytics and data platforms.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, software supply chain risk, container registries, cloud security posture management, or application security findings.
• Deep hands-on experience with vulnerability discovery, technical validation, risk-based prioritization, remediation, exception handling, and enterprise reporting.
• Experience assessing and securing Windows, Linux, network infrastructure, cloud platforms, containers, Kubernetes, databases, and common enterprise services.
• Advanced understanding of vulnerability and exposure concepts including CVSS, EPSS, KEV, exploit maturity, attack paths, asset criticality, reachability, compensating controls, and residual risk.
• Production-quality automation or software development experience using Python, PowerShell, Go, Java, SQL, APIs, or comparable technologies.
• Experience integrating vulnerability data with asset inventory, CMDB, ticketing, SIEM, SOAR, data lakes, analytics platforms, or workflow systems.
• Advanced analytical skills and judgment to make defensible risk decisions in ambiguous situations involving incomplete data, operational constraints, and competing priorities.

Skills / Certification / Licensing

• Serves as a subject-matter expert across vulnerability platforms, infrastructure domains, cloud, automation, analytics, and risk prioritization.
• Defines the approach, priorities, and deliverables for complex assessments, critical vulnerability response, and capability improvements.
• Connects individual findings to systemic causes and develops scalable solutions that improve both prevention and remediation.
• Influences multiple technology teams, platforms, or business portfolios and improves program-level risk outcomes.
• Builds alignment among engineers, service owners, architects, incident responders, risk partners, and leadership.
• Sets technical direction for initiatives, mentors others, leads urgent response, and raises the quality of engineering and risk decisions.
• Establishes enterprise direction, leads the highest-consequence exposure decisions, creates organization-wide capabilities, and is recognized as a trusted technical authority.
