Job description

Overview

Drive risk-based vulnerability and exposure management across infrastructure, applications, cloud services, endpoints, and software dependencies, combining vulnerability data, asset and configuration intelligence, application-security testing, threat intelligence, and AI-assisted analysis.

What you'll do

  • Correlate threat intelligence and vulnerability findings with asset inventory, software configuration, system configuration, application testing, network exposure, ownership, and business criticality.
  • Assess exploitability and reachability rather than relying on vulnerability severity alone.
  • Incorporate exploit prediction, known exploitation, open-source threat intelligence, adversary activity, and environmental context into prioritization.
  • Determine whether exposure requires immediate incident response or remediation under established operational objectives.
  • Use AI-assisted workflows to ingest and correlate vulnerability intelligence against the organization's actual technology configuration while independently validating conclusions.
  • Partner with Red Team to validate practical exploitability of significant vulnerabilities.
  • Identify compensating controls such as configuration changes, access restrictions, segmentation, or filtering when immediate patching is impractical.
  • Automate vulnerability ingestion, analysis, prioritization, remediation tracking, mitigation, and verification where appropriate.

What you'll need

  • Experience with enterprise vulnerability or exposure management.
  • Strong understanding of infrastructure, applications, cloud, containers, networking, and software dependencies.
  • Experience interpreting vulnerability intelligence and assessing practical exploitability.
  • Knowledge of risk-based prioritization techniques including CVSS, exploit prediction, known-exploitation intelligence, and environmental context.
  • Experience correlating vulnerability, asset, configuration, SAST, DAST, SCA, endpoint, or related security data.
  • Experience with scripting, automation, or data analysis.
  • Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE D3FEND, and STRIDE.
  • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 for LLM, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, MITRE ATLAS and MAESTRO.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with continuous exposure management, attack-path analysis, AI-assisted analysis, or automated mitigation.
