The Senior Vulnerability Management Engineer owns the enterprise vulnerability management program across cloud, endpoint, and application surfaces, driving risk-based identification, prioritization, automated remediation, and verified closure in partnership with IT, Cloud, and Product teams. Operating with minimal guidance, this role combines hands-on technical engineering depth with program ownership—designing and implementing scanning architectures, automated patching workflows, and data pipelines alongside governing the policies, SLAs, and metrics that drive measurable risk reduction. The role leads others to solve complex, cross-domain problems, shapes program methods and measures, and influences adjacent teams to achieve remediation SLAs and reduce measurable exposure. It aligns with company standards for vulnerability governance, remediation schedules, and exception management. Essential Functions/Responsibilities • Govern the end-to-end vulnerability management lifecycle—intake, scanning, triage, risk scoring, remediation orchestration, verification, and reporting—in alignment with the company Vulnerability & Patch Management Security Standard. • Apply CVSS, EPSS, and CISA KEV signals for risk-based vulnerability prioritization; codify triage logic into policy, SOPs, and dashboards. • Enforce remediation SLAs; manage risk acceptances and time-bound exceptions; report exception aging trends to leadership. • Drive complete and accurate asset coverage across servers, endpoints, containers, cloud services, and applications; partner with CMDB and asset owners to close inventory gaps. • Design, administer, and optimize enterprise vulnerability scanners for infrastructure, cloud, container, and application layers; integrate scan results into ITSM workflows for timely remediation. • Design, implement, and maintain enterprise automated patching capabilities across server, endpoint, and cloud workloads; integrate with change management and ITSM processes; validate patch success rates and drive MTTR reduction aligned to NIST SP 800-40r4. • Collaborate with Threat Intelligence and Incident Response to dynamically adjust priority queues based on active exploitation, KEV entries, and zero-day disclosures. • Partner with IT/Cloud Ops and Product/SWE teams to integrate patch and mitigation planning into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code pipelines; champion automated remediation over…
