The Role

CentralSquare is seeking a Vulnerability Operations (VulnOps) Engineer to join our Security team. This is an individual contributor role purpose-built for the post-AI era of vulnerability discovery — where AI models can now find and exploit flaws at machine speed, and reactive patch cycles are no longer sufficient.

This role is not an advisory function. The VulnOps Engineer owns the full pipeline from discovery through fix delivery: running AI-powered scanning against CentralSquare’s assets.

Job Duties Include:

Proactive Vulnerability Discovery

• Operate and continuously improve an AI-powered scanning pipeline across CentralSquare's infrastructure components
• Use Claude Code\Kiro and Orca to conduct ongoing vulnerability assessments
• Apply reachability analysis to distinguish genuinely exploitable vulnerabilities from theoretical findings, reducing alert fatigue and focusing remediation effort where risk is real
• Monitor threat intelligence feeds, CVE disclosures, and coordinated disclosure programs (including Project Glasswing patch releases) to identify newly disclosed vulnerabilities affecting CentralSquare's environment.

Fix Development and Delivery

• Develop and validate fixes and/or configuration changes using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, verifying resolution without regressions before submission
• Collaborate with application and infrastructure teams, providing technical context and responding to questions about proposed changes

SLA Ownership and Reporting

• Own the end-to-end SLA lifecycle for all open findings, maintaining real-time tracking of detection, fix submission, and remediation status in the vulnerability management system
• Proactively escalate findings approaching SLA breach with remediation options and risk context
• Produce regular reporting on SLA adherence, remediation velocity, and open risk posture for the security leadership team

Toolchain and Pipeline Maintenance

• Own the configuration, tuning, and operational health of VulnOps tooling including Orca, Claude Code, Kiro, Tanium, AWS Patch Manager, and Azure DevOps security integrations
• Evaluate and recommend new tools and capabilities as the AI security tooling landscape evolves

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with application engineering, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to ensure fix delivery and implementation is efficient and minimally disruptive to production environments
• Provide security guidance to engineering teams in the context of AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery
• Partner with the Risk and Compliance team to ensure vulnerability data and SLA metrics align with audit and regulatory reporting requirements (NIST CSF, PCI DSS, CJIS)
• Perform other duties as assigned

Qualifications

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or Information Technology, or equivalent professional experience
• 5–7 years of professional experience in vulnerability management, or a security engineering role
• Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI coding agents (Claude Code or equivalent) to find, evaluate, and generate fixes for vulnerabilities

Technical Skills

• Experience with cloud security posture management; direct experience with Orca preferred 
• Patching tools experience (ex. Tanium, AWS Patch Manager) 
• Experience with traditional vulnerability management tools like Tenable or InsightVM 
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code 
• Strong understanding of reachability analysis and the ability to apply it to distinguish exploitable findings from theoretical risk 
• Familiarity with dependency and supply chain security concepts, including SBOM generation and management 
• Working knowledge of common vulnerability classes and their remediation patterns 
• Understanding of security frameworks including NIST CSF and CIS Controls 

Soft Skills and Work Style

• Highly systematic and process-driven - capable of managing a high volume of concurrent findings without losing precision or letting items fall through the cracks
• Self-directed and accountable: this role is measured by fix delivery and SLA outcomes, not activity metrics
• Strong written communication skills
• Comfortable working across organizational boundaries, earning credibility with engineering teams through technical quality rather than authority
• Able to prioritize effectively under pressure, with clear judgment about when to escalate versus resolve independently

CJIS Clearance 

A required part of the onboarding process for this role involves obtaining CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) clearance—a critical credential for safeguarding public safety data. At CentralSquare, we’ll stand with you every step of the way to secure this clearance should you be selected for hire. As part of the process, a comprehensive background check will be conducted, and please note that U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is generally required to obtain CJIS clearance.
