TL;DR · Vulnerability Management Engineer

As a Vulnerability Management Engineer on the Splunk Vulnerability Management team, you will play a critical role in securing products and infrastructure against evolving threats. You will transform complex security data into actionable insights, set standards for platform resilience, and partner directly with engineering teams to remediate risks. Your daily work involves managing the vulnerability management lifecycle, including assessment, prioritization using CVSS scoring and threat modeling, and hands-on remediation within complex environments. You will navigate audits and compliance requirements while hardening infrastructure against standards like CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs. The role requires expertise in Docker, Kubernetes, and SaaS architectures built on microservices. Technical skills include Splunk and SPL for data visualization, as well as experience with CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation, and enterprise scanning platforms such as Tenable, Qualys, or Rapid7.

What you'll do

  • Manage the full vulnerability management lifecycle including assessment, prioritization, and hands-on remediation across complex infrastructure.
  • Apply configuration compliance standards like CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs to harden cloud and on-premise environments.
  • Prioritize security vulnerabilities based on threat modeling, CVSS scoring, and potential business impact.
  • Secure containerized environments and orchestration platforms including Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Partner with engineering teams to identify risks and ensure critical security fixes are implemented.
  • Navigate audits and compliance requirements to ensure the infrastructure meets regulatory standards like PCI DSS and FedRAMP.
  • Use Splunk and SPL to query security data, visualize results, and build automated reporting dashboards.
  • Integrate security scanning tools into CI/CD pipelines and audit Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for configuration errors.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. Person (citizen, national, permanent resident, asylee, or refugee).
  • 3+ years of experience in the vulnerability management lifecycle including assessment, prioritization, and remediation.
  • Experience applying configuration compliance standards like CIS Benchmarks or DISA STIGs to harden infrastructure.
  • Experience using threat modeling and CVSS scoring to prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk.
  • Experience securing containerized environments and orchestration platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Technical experience with cloud operational models and security requirements of SaaS architectures built on microservices.
  • Proficiency in Splunk and Search Processing Language (SPL) to query data and build dashboards (preferred).
  • U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee.
