Senior Engineer, Exposure & Vulnerability Management
Quick Summary
Design and deploy AI-powered multi-agent systems that manage exposures from discovery through verified remediation. Build automated workflows that analyze vulnerabilities externally,
The Senior Engineer, Exposure & Vulnerability Management will lead the evolution of enterprise security from periodic vulnerability scanning to continuous, risk-driven exposure management. In this role, you will design intelligent, automated systems that identify, prioritize, remediate, and verify security exposures across cloud, on-premise infrastructure, applications, and corporate environments. You will leverage AI agents, automation, and real-time threat intelligence to distinguish genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities from lower-risk findings. Working closely with Engineering, IT, and Information Security teams, you will embed secure-by-default practices into development and operational workflows. You will also strengthen governance through approval controls, audit trails, measurable security outcomes, and compliance-focused processes. This is an opportunity to shape a proactive security strategy while applying advanced automation to protect complex technology environments.
As Senior Engineer, Exposure & Vulnerability Management, you will own the technical strategy and implementation of continuous exposure management capabilities, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, and resolved according to business risk. Your responsibilities will include:
-
Design and deploy AI-powered multi-agent systems that manage exposures from discovery through verified remediation.
-
Build automated workflows that analyze vulnerabilities externally, map internal dependencies, generate patches or Infrastructure-as-Code updates, and validate remediation outcomes.
-
Implement appropriate approval gates, audit trails, and rollback mechanisms to ensure automated changes receive risk-based oversight.
-
Develop risk-based prioritization engines that move beyond static CVSS scores by incorporating real-time reachability, attack-path context, business criticality, and active exploit intelligence.
-
Implement automated verification to distinguish theoretical vulnerabilities from conditions that are actively exploitable, reducing alert noise and helping engineering teams focus on critical risks.
-
Drive the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) strategy, transitioning from periodic scans to continuous security monitoring across products, platforms, cloud and on-premise infrastructure, and corporate applications.
-
Assess existing exposure and vulnerability management capabilities and redesign the program to support business objectives and a broader zero-trust security approach.
-
Architect cloud-native discovery, asset inventory, and remediation workflows, integrating them with ticketing systems, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management tools.
-
Partner with Engineering and IT to embed secure-by-default practices into application development, deployment, and patching processes.
-
Establish risk-based remediation timelines that reflect the severity and business impact of each exposure.
-
Define and monitor security KPIs, KCIs, and KRIs, including mean time to remediate, exploitable exposure backlog, and critical asset coverage.
-
Collaborate with relevant teams to design and maintain vulnerability and exposure controls that support regulatory and compliance requirements, including SOC 2.
-
Continuously improve security processes through automation, measurable performance indicators, and cross-functional collaboration.
