Senior Software Engineer, Vulnerability Management

Accountabilities:: Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain high-quality software solutions that scale across multiple services and distributed systems. Build and improve vulnerability management platforms that collect security findings from container images, cloud environments, host infrastructure, and code-scanning tools. Develop systems that accurately assign vulnerabilities to the teams responsible for remediation and track resolution through risk scoring, service-level agreements (SLAs), and documented exceptions. Design and implement software supply chain security controls, including authenticated package and container proxies that enforce security policies across GitHub Actions, Docker builds, and Dependabot workflows. Create security solutions that integrate smoothly into existing development processes, enabling engineering teams to adopt stronger controls without unnecessary disruption to productivity. Develop and maintain production services that meet regulatory and compliance requirements, including FedRAMP, while preserving the stability and compatibility of APIs used by other teams. Collaborate with service owners, platform engineers, cloud security specialists, compliance teams, and other stakeholders to define requirements and deliver effective technical solutions. Provide technical leadership through architecture discussions, code reviews, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and collaborative programming sessions. Take ownership of the reliability, maintainability, performance, and overall quality of the systems developed by the team. Participate in on-call rotations and first-responder responsibilities to investigate incidents, troubleshoot production issues, and maintain service availability. Prepare architecture briefs and technical proposals, conduct code experiments, and develop prototypes to evaluate approaches for building systems that operate at exceptional scale. Develop a deep understanding of the systems you own and consistently deliver secure, maintainable, and well-documented code. Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying architectural opportunities, strengthening engineering practices, and evolving security capabilities as organizational needs change.

A master's degree in a relevant technical discipline, combined with at least two years of relevant software engineering experience. A doctorate in a relevant technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience. Proven programming experience in one or more languages, such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, Rust, or Python. Strong software engineering fundamentals, including application design, testing, debugging, production maintenance, and the delivery of reliable software systems. Ability to analyze complex technical challenges, design scalable solutions, and make sound architectural decisions in distributed computing environments. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to writing secure, maintainable, and high-quality code. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, security, infrastructure, and compliance teams. A proactive approach to technical ownership, continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and delivering measurable improvements to production systems. Preferred qualifications: At least two years of experience using general-purpose programming and scripting languages, such as Go, Python, or similar technologies. At least three years of experience working with cloud environments and/or Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) concepts. Familiarity with vulnerability management, software supply chain security, container security, cloud security, or secure software development practices. Experience building or operating distributed systems and security platforms at scale. Knowledge of CI/CD workflows, automated security controls, package management, container build processes, and modern DevSecOps practices. Familiarity with security compliance frameworks and production systems operating under regulatory requirements. Experience providing technical mentorship, conducting code reviews, and contributing to architectural decisions across engineering teams.
