Vulnerability Management Engineer

About Workstreet

At Workstreet, we’re on an exciting journey to help businesses scale securely by designing and implementing cutting-edge security and compliance programs. As a fast-growing startup, we specialize in a wide range of GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) services that support frameworks across SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CMMC, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, and FedRAMP. We empower companies to meet regulatory requirements and enhance their cybersecurity posture from day one.

Our Vulnerability Management team does not stop at the report. We identify, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities hands-on across client environments, including direct patch deployment into AWS, Azure, and GCP where the vulnerabilities actually live. We work closely with client IT, Dev Ops, and security teams to move findings from open to closed as efficiently as possible, using risk-based prioritization to make sure the right things get fixed first.

Ownership and follow-through define how we operate: a scan result without a remediated finding is an unfinished job. If you want to be the person who closes the loop rather than hands it off, this is your team.

We are seeking a consultative and hands-on Vulnerability Management (VM) Engineer to join our elite Delivery team. At Workstreet, our work doesn't stop at handing over a scan report—ownership and complete follow-through define how we operate. You will serve as the primary security advisor for an assigned portfolio of fast-growth startups, helping them identify, prioritize, and fix risks.

In this role, you will seamlessly combine scanning infrastructure management with high-touch client advisory. Using tools like Vanta, Tenable, and risk prioritization models (CVSS/EPSS), you will surface critical vulnerabilities. Instead of just passing off the findings, you will work directly with client IT and Dev Ops teams to deploy patches right where the vulnerabilities live in AWS, Azure, and GCP. If you want to be the person who closes the loop from scan to fix rather than just passing the buck, this is your team.

• - Orchestrate Vulnerability Scanning Infrastructure:
  Configure, schedule, and maintain authenticated credentials, scan policies, and asset groups across client networks and cloud-native environments using enterprise platforms (Tenable/Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7 InsightVM, and Vanta).
• - Execute Threat Analysis and Risk Prioritization:
  Evaluate raw scan outputs and filter false positives; apply advanced risk-based prioritization data utilizing CVSS base scores, EPSS real-time exploit indices, global threat intelligence feeds, and critical client asset contexts.
• - Drive Collaborative Remediation and Governance:
  Translate technical vulnerabilities into clear, actionable architectural guidance and patch-management workflows; partner directly inside the trenches with client software engineers and IT teams to multi-thread remediation efforts and accelerate their sub-30-day time-to-remediate velocity.
• - Manage Exceptions and Audit Compliance:
  Document, verify, and track formal client requests for temporary vulnerability exceptions or long-term risk acceptances; map operational patching data directly to control evidence required for regulatory audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, and NIST).
• - Own the Advisory Client
  
  Experience:
  
  Act as the strategic primary point of contact and trusted security advisor for an assigned portfolio of fast-growth startups; deliver regular project milestones, handle high-priority technical escalations with calm professionalism, and generate regular status reports and executive summaries that communicate technical risk as clear business value.
