What you will be doing

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Vulnerability Management team, you will serve as a technical anchor for a team that builds and maintains the systems and tooling we rely on to detect, track, and remediate security vulnerabilities across our organization.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do meaningful engineering work while shaping how security gets done at scale.
