  • Analyze findings from application security, cloud security, container security, and external attack surface management platforms.
  • Drive vulnerability lifecycle management from identification through remediation and closure.
  • Support risk-based prioritization efforts by evaluating exploitability, business impact, exposure, and threat intelligence.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to establish remediation timelines and ensure security findings are addressed appropriately.
  • Monitor and report on vulnerability trends, remediation metrics, and overall program effectiveness.
  • Participate in vulnerability reviews, security assessments, and operational security activities.
  • Assist with improving vulnerability management processes, automation opportunities, and operational efficiencies.
  • Support external security posture monitoring and vendor risk visibility initiatives.

 

Required Qualifications

  • 5–7 years of experience in Vulnerability Management, Application Security, Security Engineering, or related Cybersecurity disciplines.
  • Strong understanding of vulnerability management frameworks, risk scoring methodologies, and remediation practices.
  • Experience using vulnerability management platforms such as Tenable.io / Tenable SaaS.
  • Experience working with modern cloud-native and containerized environments.
  • Familiarity with container security concepts and vulnerability management within Kubernetes, Docker, or similar environments.
  • Experience collaborating directly with software development teams to remediate security findings.
  • Knowledge of common application security vulnerabilities including the OWASP Top 10.
  • Strong understanding of CVEs, CVSS scoring, exploitability analysis, and security risk assessment.
  • Ability to communicate technical findings and risk posture to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience working within globally distributed teams.

 

Preferred Qualifications

Hands-on experience with:

  • Prisma Cloud
  • Snyk
