* The Opportunity:

** CACI has an excellent opportunity for an experienced Cybersecurity Vulnerability Engineer in support of a Department of Defense customer.  The successful candidate must be a self-starter with an advanced level. This position will support the customer on site at Fort Bragg, NC.

** Responsibilities:
** Deploy and maintain scanning tools across network, application, cloud, container, and endpoint environments.  
• Perform authenticated and unauthenticated scans across hybrid infrastructure and tune configurations for accuracy and coverage.  
• Validate vulnerabilities through technical analysis, PoC testing, and manual verification to reduce false positives.  
• Assess exploitability by evaluating reachability, control effectiveness, and attack‐path feasibility.  
• Conduct root‐cause analysis for recurring or systemic vulnerabilities and propose engineering‐level fixes.  
• Develop remediation playbooks, secure configuration baselines, and hardening standards.  
• Automate workflows using Python, Power Shell, Bash, APIs, and integrations with CI/CD, cloud platforms, and ticketing systems.  
• Integrate vulnerability detection into CI/CD, IaC pipelines, and pre‐production environments.  
• Support remediation validation through re‐scanning, configuration checks, and targeted testing.  
• Enhance attack surface discovery for internet‐facing, ephemeral, and cloud‐native assets.  
• Identify coverage gaps in scanning, asset visibility, or control validation and propose improvements.  
• Design guardrails and baselines to reduce vulnerability recurrence and support engineering teams in implementation.  
• Support incident response during vulnerability surge events through rapid scanning and technical remediation assistance.  
• Maintain accurate asset‐to‐vulnerability mappings to support analytics and automation.  
• Evaluate emerging technologies and support adoption of new scanning and exposure‐management capabilities.  
• Assess vulnerabilities in AI/ML/LLM platforms and emerging technologies.  
• Ensure alignment with NIST and industry frameworks such as NIST SP 800‐40, NIST SP 800‐53, and CIS Controls.
