Advanced Security Engineer - Exposure Management
Posting Type Hybrid/Remote Job Overview The Advanced Security Engineer is a technically deep, hands‑on practitioner who strengthens the organization’s Exposure Management capability. This role identifies and contextualizes vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, unmanaged assets, and container and API posture risks across the technology estate; correlates findings with asset criticality, exploitability, compensating controls, internet exposure, and threat intelligence; and translates them into a prioritized, continuously updated view of the exposures that matter most.
Working closely with engineering and department leaders, Governance Risk Intelligence, Product Security Enablement, Adaptive Security, the Purple Team, Threat Detection & Response, and application and service owners, this engineer improves discovery and context coverage, makes residual risk and exposure aging visible, and coordinates reduction campaigns that help owning teams act on the highest‑priority exposures. The role drives prioritization, reporting, and remediation follow‑through while leaving risk‑acceptance decisions, policy setting, and remediation execution with the accountable teams.
Job Description and Requirements Exposure & Attack Surface DiscoveryOperate and optimize exposure and external attack‑surface discovery capabilities to identify internet‑facing, unmanaged, shadow, and newly introduced assets across the technology estate. Reconcile discovery results with authoritative asset inventories and ownership data, investigate coverage gaps, and improve attribution of assets to the responsible application, service, or department. Develop repeatable workflows and automation that reduce discovery latency and increase coverage, data quality, and visibility across relevant asset classes.
Vulnerability& Misconfiguration Prioritization
Analyze vulnerabilities and misconfigurations from exposure management and partner‑team data sources, correlating findings with exploitability, asset criticality, internet exposure, compensating controls, and available threat intelligence. Design, tune, and document contextual prioritization logic that moves decision‑making beyond raw severity scores and produces a defensible, risk‑ranked exposure backlog. Perform detailed exposure analysis for high‑impact vulnerabilities, zero‑days, and material misconfigurations, and communicate why an exposure matters to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Partner with the Purple Team and other security functions to validate prioritization assumptions and improve correlation between top‑priority exposures and confirmed exploitability.
Maintain an accurate inventory and standing risk view of live containers and APIs, including running‑image risk, workload ownership, API posture, and relevant production context. Correlate build‑and deployment‑time findings received from Adaptive Security with production runtime context to determine whether identified risks remain relevant once workloads are live. Identify systemic container and API posture issues and develop prioritized remediation campaigns for application‑and service‑owning teams.
ThreatIntelligence Integration
Integrate external and internal threat intelligence into exposure scoring and prioritization, including active exploitation, adversary behavior, and emerging‑vulnerability signals. Maintain awareness of changes in the threat landscape and assess their relevance to the organization’s exposed technologies, assets, containers, and APIs. Produce timely, actionable notifications when new intelligence materially changes the likelihood or priority of an existing exposure.
