Security Engineer - Vuln Management (Code)

What You'll Do

Core Responsibilities

• Vulnerability Scanning & Triage: Perform periodic application security scanning activities. Review results and prioritize flaws based on CVSS scores, real-world exploitability, and system exposure.
• Compliance-Driven Tracking: Track, document, and manage vulnerabilities according to strict compliance SLAs (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS). Maintain audit-ready evidence of remediation timelines and exception approvals.
• Executive Reporting & Alerting: Escalate and report critical exposures directly to the CISO and senior leadership. Maintain dashboards and alerting mechanisms that visualize vulnerability status, risk trends, and compliance posture.
• Software Supply Chain Security: Ownership of the organization's Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). Continually update SBOM inventories to ensure compliance with modern regulatory requirements and dependency tracking. Help Replit mature through various SLSA levels for supply chain security.
• Remediation Collaboration: Partner with development teams to provide clear mitigation paths. Review, write, and patch code directly when necessary to resolve security flaws.
• Tooling Integration: Configure and tune automated security testing tools within CI/CD pipelines to reduce false positives for engineering teams.
• Incident Response Support: Assist Incident Response teams during active breaches or security incidents. Help develop and implement immediate, real-time code or infrastructure countermeasures.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5 years of experience in Application Security, DevSecOps, or Software Engineering roles.
• Solid foundational experience working in a software development capacity.
• Ability to read, understand, and safely patch security flaws in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go.
• Strong familiarity with build systems, package managers, and compilation workflows across multiple languages and frameworks.
• Hands-on experience operating SAST, SCA, and Secret Scanning tools (such as Snyk, Socket, Wiz Code, Semgrep, or Checkmarx).
• Understanding of how vulnerability management maps to security compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST.

What We Value

• Systems Thinking: The ability to see the "big picture" and understand how security decisions impact the entire stack.
• Technical Influence: The ability to drive technical alignment across the organization through expertise and collaboration rather than direct authority.
• Autonomy: Comfortable leading major technical initiatives and driving outcomes with minimal oversight.
• Problem-Solving Mindset: A passion for breaking down complex security challenges into elegant, scalable engineering solutions.
