You will be expected to understand how vulnerable dependencies enter an application, determine whether they are direct or transitive, identify appropriate remediation options, and work with engineering teams to implement and validate fixes. You will also own and enhance internal vulnerability-management tools, including the repositories, scheduled jobs, APIs, and reporting applications used to process and display vulnerability findings. The ideal candidate should be comfortable using approved AI tools, such as Claude, to accelerate development, investigation, documentation, and security automation while following company security and data-handling requirements.

What you’ll need • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or equivalent practical experience. • 4+ years of experience in information security, vulnerability management, application security, security engineering, or a related discipline. • Strong understanding of CVE, CVSS, CWE, CISA KEV, EPSS, OWASP, and risk-based vulnerability prioritization. • Experience investigating vulnerable dependencies using build files, dependency trees, lock files, container images, and software-composition-analysis tools. • Ability to determine where a vulnerable package originates and recommend a safe, compatible remediation. • Hands-on experience operating vulnerability-management platforms such as Qualys or similar tools. • Experience with SAST, DAST, SCA, container-security, or infrastructure vulnerability-scanning tools. • E
