Vulnerability Operations Engineer - Remote

About The Position

CentralSquare is seeking a Vulnerability Operations (VulnOps) Engineer to join our Security team. This is an individual contributor role purpose-built for the post-AI era of vulnerability discovery — where AI models can now find and exploit flaws at machine speed, and reactive patch cycles are no longer sufficient. This role is not an advisory function. The VulnOps Engineer owns the full pipeline from discovery through fix delivery: running AI-powered scanning against CentralSquare's codebases and dependencies on a continuous basis, generating validated fixes, and submitting ready-to-merge pull requests into owning teams' Azure DevOps pipelines. App teams retain code review and merge authority; this role exists to ensure they are never handed a problem without also being handed a solution.

Responsibilities

Operate and continuously improve an AI-powered scanning pipeline across CentralSquare's first-party codebases, open-source dependencies, and infrastructure components
Use Claude Code, Veracode, and Orca to conduct ongoing static analysis, software composition analysis (SCA), and cloud posture assessments
Apply reachability analysis to distinguish genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities from theoretical findings, reducing alert fatigue and focusing remediation effort where risk is real
Monitor threat intelligence feeds, CVE disclosures, and coordinated disclosure programs (including Project Glasswing patch releases) to identify newly disclosed vulnerabilities affecting CentralSquare's software supply chain
Develop and validate fixes (code patches, dependency upgrades, configuration changes) using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, verifying resolution without regressions before submission
Submit validated fixes as pull requests into owning teams' Azure DevOps repositories, with clear documentation of the vulnerability, risk context, and fix rationale to support efficient review and merge
Collaborate with application and infrastructure teams during code review, providing technical context and responding to questions about proposed changes
Own the end-to-end SLA lifecycle for all open findings, maintaining real-time tracking of detection, fix submission, and merge status in the vulnerability management system
Proactively escalate findings approaching SLA breach with remediation options and risk context
Produce regular reporting on pipeline health, SLA adherence, remediation velocity, and open risk posture for the security leadership team
Own the configuration, tuning, and operational health of VulnOps tooling including Veracode, Orca, Claude Code, and Azure DevOps security integrations
Identify and reduce false positive rates through policy tuning and reachability filtering, ensuring signal quality remains high as scan volume increases
Contribute to the development of automated remediation pipelines, including AI-assisted fix generation integrated directly into CI/CD workflows
Evaluate and recommend new tools and capabilities as the AI security tooling landscape evolves
Work closely with application engineering, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to ensure fix delivery is efficient and minimally disruptive to development velocity
Provide security guidance to engineering teams on secure coding practices and dependency management in the context of AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery
Partner with the Risk and Compliance team to ensure vulnerability data and SLA metrics align with audit and regulatory reporting requirements (NIST CSF, PCI DSS, CJIS)
Perform other duties as assigned
