About The Position

We are seeking a Risk Engineer with strong technical acumen and practical experience in the vulnerability management space to design, prioritize, and enable risk-reducing technical solutions across complex cloud and enterprise environments. As a Cyber Security Engineer, you should have a strong technical background and demonstrate experience in vulnerability management, security architecture, and control engineering. This role emphasizes solution engineering over process engineering—using vulnerability intelligence, risk frameworks, policies, and controls as inputs to architect practical, automatable, and scalable technical safeguards.
Responsibilities include the end-to-end engineering of vulnerability risk solutions, from exposure discovery through remediation workflow design and executive risk reporting, working within mixed-skill teams and in close partnership with platform, cloud, security, and SRE stakeholders. By leveraging deep technical expertise and a risk-informed engineering mindset, you will deliver impactful security solutions that reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk at scale.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
• 7+ years in engineering, security engineering, platform engineering, SRE, vulnerability management, or technical risk roles
• Proven ability to design and influence technical solutions across cross-functional teams
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability management practices, including discovery, prioritization, remediation coordination, exception handling, and risk reporting
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to explain complex technical risk concepts to non-technical audiences without losing fidelity
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, operating comfortably between engineering teams and risk stakeholders
• Strong understanding of how risk manifests in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and automation environments
• Infrastructure as Code experience using Terraform
• Configuration management and automation experience using Ansible
• Programming and scripting proficiency in Python
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, specifically Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and/or Azure
• Ability to design and implement scalable, automatable security controls and remediation workflows across enterprise technology stacks

Nice To Haves

• Master's Degree in a related field is preferred
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and policy-as-code implementation
• Knowledge of cloud IAM, networking, and control plane security
• Experience with backup, recovery, and resilience architectures
• Familiarity with observability, logging, and evidence automation for control validation
• Experience with vulnerability scanners, exposure management platforms, and remediation workflow tooling
• Knowledge of ITIL-based IT Service Management (ITSM) practices
• Familiarity with Agentic AI Frameworks for security automation use cases

Responsibilities

• Engineer technical vulnerability risk solutions that reduce operational, cyber, and resilience risk through architecture, automation, and control design.
• Translate vulnerability risk requirements, policies, and standards into implementable technical patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures.
• Prioritize and influence solution design decisions based on risk impact, blast radius, and recovery dependencies.
• Partner with platform, cloud, security, and SRE teams to embed risk controls directly into infrastructure and pipelines.
• Evaluate control effectiveness using technical signals and evidence, not just procedural compliance.
• Support initiatives such as vulnerability discovery, exposure analysis, remediation workflow design, secure cloud architectures, isolated recovery environments, identity and access hardening, and infrastructure resilience.
• Provide technical guidance on risk tradeoffs, recovery sequencing, and dependency-aware system design.
• Work across broad vulnerability management capabilities, including scanners, asset and exposure data sources, prioritization models, remediation tracking platforms, exception workflows, and executive risk reporting.
• Contribute to lightweight process definition where needed—but always in service of enabling better technical outcomes.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, and prescription drug coverage
• Flexible family care, parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members, and management leases
• Tuition assistance
• Established and active employee resource groups
• Paid time off for individual and team community service
• A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day
• Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
