Join a forward-thinking technology organization at the forefront of AI infrastructure, where you'll establish and lead a Vulnerability Operations Center responsible for protecting large-scale cloud, infrastructure, and hardware environments. This highly strategic and hands-on role combines technical leadership, security operations, automation, and cross-functional collaboration to strengthen organizational resilience against emerging threats. You will define vulnerability management processes, implement scalable tooling, and partner closely with engineering teams to drive effective remediation across critical systems. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced cybersecurity professional who enjoys building security programs from the ground up while working with cutting-edge technologies in a fast-paced international environment.
Accountabilities
- Build and lead the Vulnerability Operations Center, defining processes, governance, and best practices for the complete vulnerability management lifecycle.
- Manage vulnerability detection, validation, triage, remediation tracking, and reporting across cloud infrastructure, products, and hardware environments.
- Improve automated vulnerability triage capabilities through data enrichment, AI-assisted workflows, contextual risk scoring, and vulnerability correlation techniques.
- Perform hands-on validation and prioritization of critical and zero-day vulnerabilities to support rapid response efforts.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, security, compliance, and operations teams to ensure timely remediation and continuous risk reduction.
- Drive improvements in patch management processes and oversee remediation initiatives across multiple engineering teams.
- Manage vulnerability intake from scanners, penetration testing, bug bounty programs, and threat intelligence sources.
- Prioritize findings using industry-standard risk frameworks, including CVSS, EPSS, SSVC, exploitability, asset criticality, and business impact.
- Contribute to the development and automation of internal vulnerability management and security orchestration platforms.
- Define key vulnerability management metrics, monitor trends, and present actionable insights and KPIs to security leadership.
