Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of experience in vulnerability management, exposure management, or related information security domains.
  • Experience leading large-scale programs from strategy through execution in cloud-first and hybrid environments.
  • Deep understanding of security principles and experience turning vulnerability data into prioritized, owned, and verified remediation.
  • Hands-on experience building or deploying AI/LLM-based agents or multi-agent systems for security or engineering workflows, including orchestration, tool use, and evaluation.
  • Working knowledge of approval workflows, audit logging, rollback controls for automated remediation, and agent-driven change risks.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Go, or Java, and strong scripting skills for automation and integration.
  • Expert-level experience with vulnerability and exposure management platforms such as Tenable, Qualys, or Rapid7, and with CTEM, attack surface management, and attack-path analysis tooling.
  • Strong command of risk-based prioritization, including CVSS, EPSS, CISA KEV, reachability analysis, and threat intelligence feeds.
  • Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP; container and Kubernetes security; and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, SCA/SAST tooling, software supply chain security, SBOMs, and dependency mapping.

  • Experience with risk management and compliance requirements such as SOC2 or GxP.
  • CISSP, OSCP, GWAPT, or other relevant security certifications are highly desirable.

Responsibilities

  • Design and deploy multi-agent systems that take exposures from discovery through analysis, remediation, and validation.
  • Build approval gates, audit trails, and rollback controls into automated remediation.
  • Develop prioritization engines using reachability, attack-path context, business criticality, and live exploit intelligence.
  • Automate verification to distinguish theoretical flaws from actively exploitable conditions.
  • Drive the Continuous Threat Exposure Management strategy across products, platforms, infrastructure, and corporate applications.
  • Assess and revamp the exposure and vulnerability management program to support business outcomes and zero-trust security.
  • Architect cloud-native discovery, asset-inventory, and remediation workflows integrated with ticketing, CI/CD, and configuration management.
  • Partner with Engineering and IT to embed secure-by-default practices and risk-based remediation timelines.
  • Define KPIs, KCIs, and KRIs to measure control effectiveness and guide continuous improvement.
  • Work with partner teams to design exposure and vulnerability controls that support standards such as SOC2.
