Cve Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms. They are seeking a hands-on Vulnerability Management Lead to own the VM program end-to-end, acting as the technical authority for vulnerability discovery, triage, prioritization, remediation, and reporting across various environments. The role involves driving accountability across engineering teams and shaping the long-term VM posture as the company scales.
Responsibilities:
• Own end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle: discovery, validation, prioritization, remediation tracking, exception management, and verification across cloud, on-prem, container, and embedded Linux environments
• Operate and optimize enterprise vulnerability scanning platforms for continuous credentialed scanning across servers, endpoints, network devices, containers, and cloud assets; maintain coverage, schedules, and configuration audit policies
• Integrate vulnerability scanning into CI/CD pipelines to harden build workflows, enforce least-privilege controls, and surface supply chain risks before they reach production
• Leverage AI-assisted scanning and graph-based enrichment pipelines to accelerate triage, map lateral exposure paths, and prioritize findings by exploitability and mission impact
• Correlate findings across tools to eliminate noise, reduce false positives, and surface the vulnerabilities that actually matter
• Apply CVSS, CISA KEV, exploit maturity, and asset exposure context — including internet-facing systems, privileged access paths, and classified adjacency — to drive risk-based SLAs and remediation sequencing
• Partner with software and platform engineering teams to drive timely remediation; own escalation paths for aging critical and high findings
• Lead critical CVE response: rapid triage, impact assessment, containment guidance, and stakeholder communication for zero-days and actively exploited vulnerabilities
• Govern exception management: risk acceptance with compensating controls, time-bound approvals, and periodic review cycles
• Coordinate patching windows and change management across Windows, Linux, network devices, and cloud services
• Align the VM program to CMMC Level 2/3 requirements; produce audit-ready evidence, POA&Ms, and control effectiveness documentation
• Deliver executive and operational reporting: exposure trends, SLA performance, mean time to remediate, patch coverage, and remediation velocity
• Support CMMC assessments and audits with clean, well-documented vulnerability data and remediation history
• Maintain asset inventory hygiene and scan coverage metrics; ensure classified and sensitive system boundaries are respected in tooling and data handling
• Build and mature automation for scan scheduling, finding enrichment, ticket creation, SLA tracking, and reporting — reducing manual overhead as the program scales
• Define and refine VM policies, procedures, and playbooks including critical CVE response runbooks and patch cadence standards
• Evaluate and recommend tooling improvements; drive integration across the vulnerability management and broader security stack
• Mentor and support analysts as the team grows; run tabletop exercises for vulnerability and patching scenarios
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5+ years in cybersecurity with 3+ years of hands-on vulnerability management ownership in hybrid on-prem/cloud environments
• Deep operational expertise with enterprise vulnerability scanning platforms — credentialed scanning, policy tuning, coverage management, and integration with downstream workflows
• Strong command of CVE/CVSS scoring, CISA KEV, exploit maturity indicators, and the ability to translate technical risk into business impact for non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with CI/CD security tooling and supply chain risk management, including build pipeline security principles
• Proven track record driving remediation accountability across engineering teams — you know how to get vulnerabilities closed, not just reported
• Experience aligning VM programs to federal or defense compliance frameworks; CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, or NIST RMF experience strongly preferred
• Metrics-driven: comfortable owning exposure reduction KPIs, SLA adherence, MTTR, and patch coverage dashboards
• Clear, direct communicator — equally effective in a technical deep-dive and an executive briefing
• Security clearance eligibility
Preferred:
• Active Secret or TS clearance, or prior clearance history
• Experience with AI-assisted vulnerability tooling, graph-based asset and exposure analysis, or automated enrichment pipelines
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline security hardening platforms
• Experience operating in classified or air-gapped environments
• Scripting or automation experience (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) for scan orchestration, data normalization, API integrations, and reporting pipelines
• Experience with container and cloud-native vulnerability management using CSP-native security tooling
• Familiarity with NIST SP 800-218 (Secure Software Development Framework) and software supply chain security frameworks
• Relevant certifications: CISSP, CySA+, GCSA, GCPN, Security+, or equivalent
