What you will be doing As a Staff Software Engineer on the Vulnerability Management team, you will serve as a technical anchor for a team that builds and maintains the systems and tooling we rely on to detect, track, and remediate security vulnerabilities across our organization. You will drive technical strategy for how we automate and scale vulnerability management, work closely with security engineers, product teams, and infrastructure partners to tackle complex cross-functional challenges, and help raise the bar for how the team builds software. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do meaningful engineering work while shaping how security gets done at scale. Key Responsibilities Own the technical architecture and roadmap for vulnerability management tooling, including systems that automate identification, prioritization, tracking, and remediation of vulnerabilities across diverse ecosystems and environments. Lead the design and development of high-quality, scalable engineering solutions, balancing long-term maintainability with the practical needs of a fast-moving security organization. Drive integration strategy across vulnerability scanners, aggregation pipelines, and downstream systems, making principled decisions about data ownership, tool consolidation, and signal quality. Define and evolve the metrics and reporting frameworks the team uses to measure program effectiveness, moving the organization toward risk-based measurement rather than activity-based compliance tracking. Partner with cross-functional stakeholders including infrastructure, platform engineering, and product security teams to identify opportunities to embed security automation deeper into the development lifecycle. Identify systemic gaps and ambiguous, high-priority problems that cut across team boundaries, propose solutions, and drive them to completion with or without direct authority. Provide technical mentorship, design reviews, and code reviews to engineers on the team, helping others grow and maintaining a high standard of engineering craft. Contribute to architectural decisions, tooling selections, and process improvements that have lasting impact on how the broader security organization operates.
