Remote Vulnerability Assessment Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description:
Location: This position requires the candidate to work onsite 2-3 days a week in Seattle, WA. Potential opening for remote candidates in PST.
Job Description:
This position supports advancing the enterprise vulnerability management program across four functional pillars: Detect, Prioritize, Report, Remediate.
Detect:
- Maintain and expand scan and sensor coverage across endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, containers, network devices, and SaaS
- Close asset visibility gaps, including shadow IT, unmanaged devices, and assets provisioned outside IT
- Tune authenticated scanning, credential health, agent health, and scan cadence to reduce false negatives
- Reconcile vulnerability data across multiple sources into a single authoritative inventory
Prioritize:
- Build and operate risk-based prioritization that blends CVSS severity, EPSS likelihood, CISA KEV exploitation status, and SSVC decision logic
- Enrich findings with business context: asset criticality, data classification, internet exposure, compensating controls, application owner, and business unit
- Replace severity-only queues with defensible, tiered remediation SLAs
- Operate the exception and risk acceptance workflow, including expiration and re-review
Report:
- Design and publish program metrics: coverage, mean time to remediate by tier, backlog aging, SLA compliance, and burndown
- Deliver executive and operational dashboards, including Power BI reporting fed by automated pipelines
- Produce audit and assurance evidence on request
- Translate technical findings into business risk language for non-technical stakeholders
Remediate:
- Drive remediation campaigns in partnership with IT operations, endpoint, cloud, and application teams
- Automate ticket creation, routing, and closure into the ITSM platform
- Perform closed-loop verification that remediation actually reduced exposure
- Support emergency response for actively exploited vulnerabilities
Platform and program:
- Direct, hands-on experience implementing or migrating to a new enterprise vulnerability management platform, including requirements definition, proof of concept, integration, data migration, and rollout
- Direct experience driving continuous improvement to an established VM program, including maturity assessment, process redesign, and runbook development
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years hands-on vulnerability management or security engineering
- Direct implementation experience with at least one enterprise VM platform (Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management, or Tanium)
- Demonstrated experience building prioritization models that incorporate business context, not severity alone
- Scripting and automation to scale program operations: Python and PowerShell, plus REST API integration
- Working fluency with KQL or an equivalent query language for security data
- Experience integrating VM data with CMDB, ITSM, and BI platforms
- Cloud vulnerability management experience across Azure and at least one other provider
- Ability to work independently and produce written deliverables without heavy oversight
Preferred
- Experience with Tanium and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint as data sources
- Container and image scanning experience
- Familiarity with NVD, EPSS, KEV, and ExploitDB data feeds and their API consumption patterns
- Exposure to CTEM or exposure management program models
- Certifications: CISSP, GIAC (GEVA, GCIA), AZ-500
Pay Range: $75.00 - $85.00 per hour, depending upon experience.
Health & Medical Benefits, 401K, Employee Assistance Program, and Sick Time applicable by state.
