The Senior Security Engineer, Vulnerability Management joins the security team to manage the vulnerability lifecycle across multi-cloud products and services. This role involves transforming ambiguous security problems into concrete solutions by building tools, services, and workflows using AI and automation to scale remediation efforts. The engineer will perform impact assessments, risk-based prioritization, and root cause analysis to address vulnerabilities earlier in the software development life cycle. Key responsibilities include reducing engineering toil through a "PRs, not tickets" approach and providing expertise for compliance frameworks like SOC2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP. Candidates must possess experience with cloud-native environments, containers, infrastructure as code, and modern delivery workflows. Technical proficiency is required in programming languages such as Go, Python, or Java to solve complex problems within a large software and infrastructure environment.
