This critical role leads our efforts to discover and remediate vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, and endpoints at the speed modern attackers operate.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Build and operate automation across the entire vulnerability lifecycle: asset discovery, authenticated scanning, triage, routing to owners, and verifying closure

• Diagnose why authenticated web application and API scans fail, implement fixes, and systematically bring remaining services into active coverage

• Establish and run endpoint vulnerability management as a routine, collaborative operational program with IT

• Architect and implement scanning and assessment workflows for novel systems across application, API, and endpoint stacks

• Drive remediation to closure with engineering and IT teams while proactively identifying the next automation opportunities

Who You Are (Success Profile)
