Job Description

Vulnerability Automation Engineer

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Vulnerability Automation Engineer in United States.

This role sits at the intersection of security engineering, automation, and modern cloud-native architecture, focused on eliminating manual vulnerability management entirely. You will design and build autonomous, “lights-off” security systems that continuously discover assets, assess configurations, and remediate vulnerabilities in real time. Working in a highly technical, innovation-driven environment, you will replace traditional ticket-based workflows with intelligent, automated pipelines. The role emphasizes hands-on engineering, AI-assisted development, and deep integration with DevSecOps practices. Your work will directly reduce organizational risk by ensuring vulnerabilities are resolved before human intervention is needed. You will collaborate across engineering, security, and platform teams to embed security directly into infrastructure and delivery workflows.

Accountabilities
  • Design and operate end-to-end vulnerability automation pipelines that continuously identify, assess, and remediate security issues across cloud-native and infrastructure-as-code environments.
  • Build agentic AI-driven workflows (e.g., using Claude Code and MCP integrations) to automate security tasks such as vulnerability detection, drift analysis, and remediation orchestration.
  • Develop real-time asset discovery and inventory systems covering dynamic, containerized, and ephemeral workloads across multi-cloud environments.
  • Implement policy-as-code and infrastructure-as-code security controls to enforce baselines, detect drift, and automatically remediate non-compliant configurations.
  • Integrate vulnerability data from scanning tools, cloud security services, and threat intelligence sources into unified automation platforms for prioritization and response.
  • Create dashboards, metrics, and reporting systems that measure vulnerability posture, remediation velocity, and automation coverage.
  • Partner with engineering, product, and operations teams to embed security automation directly into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure workflows.
Requirements

You bring strong experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, or infrastructure automation, with a focus on building scalable automated systems rather than manual processes. You are highly technical, comfortable working across cloud-native environments, and motivated by eliminating operational toil through engineering. You combine deep security knowledge with strong software engineering fundamentals and can translate complex security problems into automated solutions.

  • 5+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, or infrastructure automation
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Bash, or similar languages
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform
  • Hands-on experience in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or similar) and containerized systems (Kubernetes, serverless)
  • Familiarity with vulnerability and security tools (e.g., Snyk, Tenable, Qualys, Wiz, Trivy, or equivalents)
  • Strong understanding of vulnerability frameworks (CVE, CVSS, OWASP Top 10, exploitability models)
  • Experience integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines and automated workflows
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows is highly valued
  • Strong communication skills and ability to document and explain complex systems clearly
  • Self-driven mindset with a strong bias toward automation and continuous improvement
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation: $170,000 – $190,000 annual salary
  • Remote-first work environment with flexible collaboration model
  • Equity opportunities as part of total compensation package
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer support
  • Generous paid time off and holiday schedule
  • Paid parental leave and family support programs
  • Mental health and wellness resources
  • Learning and development support, including training and professional growth opportunities
  • Occasional team in-person gatherings (limited travel)
