• Contribute to the CTEM operating-model design owned by the Global Lead; implement and refine it.

The essential requirements of the job include: 

• CrowdStrike CCFA, Tenable VM Specialist, Qualys VMDR, GIAC GSEC/GMON, or a cloud security certification. 

• 5+ years of experience in vulnerability management or security engineering  

• Hands-on experience engineering vulnerability/exposure tooling (such as Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, CrowdStrike FEM, or Defender), including scan coverage, authenticated scanning, and data normalization. 

• Experience building automation and integrations (such as Python, SQL, and REST APIs) across vulnerability, ticketing (e.g., ServiceNow/Jira), and cloud or endpoint data sources. 

• Experience applying risk-based prioritization beyond CVSS using threat intelligence such as EPSS and CISA KEV and asset context.

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field.
