TMR ID: R7TTL4

Role: Senior Vulnerability Engineer

Work location: Phoenix, AZ; Columbus, OH; Dallas, TX

Background and Meet and Greet: MANDATORY

Job Description:

"The Senior Vulnerability Engineer is a hands-on role responsible for driving timely, high-quality remediation of security vulnerabilities and configuration gaps across enterprise environments. This position owns the remediation execution cadence—from tool-generated findings through validation, assignment, evidence collection, risk acceptance coordination, and closure—and is expected to operate effectively in a fast-paced, operational setting with minimal ramp-up time. The role requires clear communication, disciplined expectation setting with IT teams, early identification of blockers, and delivery of decision-ready status and risk reporting to stakeholders and leadership.

Demonstrate advanced proficiency with the ServiceNow Vulnerability Response (VR) module to manage end-to-end vulnerability workflows, including triage, assignment, SLA tracking, exception and risk acceptance processing, remediation evidence captures, and closure.

• Lead a high-tempo remediation cadence (weekly or biweekly) with IT teams; set clear expectations, drive action-item closure, and escalate impediments as required.
• Execute hands-on remediation activities to achieve SLA targets, including patching, configuration changes, implementation of compensating controls, and post-remediation validation; proactively manage at-risk items using documented recovery plans.
• Apply advanced ServiceNow Vulnerability Response (VR) capabilities, including vulnerability group and item management, routing and assignment, SLA and aging oversight, exception and risk acceptance handling, and closure workflows; utilize Rapid7 and Wiz as primary sources of findings.
• Partners with patching and IT teams to execute remediation plans, validate remediation effectiveness, and maintain accurate, auditable closure evidence.
• Provide concise, executive-ready reporting (Power BI and ServiceNow) on SLA performance, aging, risk trends, and decisions required for operational reviews and leadership updates.
  
  

What you will need:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Seven (7) or more years of experience in vulnerability remediation, patch and configuration management, and operational security engineering in fast-paced environments.
• Strong troubleshooting and hands-on remediation skills, including patching, configuration changes, validation and verification, and evidence collection.
• Demonstrated high skill in ServiceNow Vulnerability Response (VR), including vulnerability groups and items, routing and assignment, SLA and aging management, evidence capture, exception and risk acceptance workflows, and audit-ready closure.
• Clear, concise communicator (written and verbal) with demonstrated ability to set expectations, influence without authority, and coordinate across multiple IT teams in a matrixed environment.
• Experience with vulnerability scanning and exposure management tools (e.g., Rapid7, Wiz) and reporting/analytics (e.g., Power BI); ability to translate data into action.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a self-starter with minimal oversight, manage multiple workstreams, set expectations, and drive remediation to closure.
• Experience in the financial services industry with proven regulatory and compliance discipline.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate vulnerability data into remediation plans, operational metrics, and risk-based communication.
  
  

"

Key Responsibilities:

"What you will do:

• Drive remediation of tool-identified vulnerabilities by validating applicability and asset context, determining the appropriate remediation approach (patch, configuration change, compensating control), coordinating execution with IT teams, and verifying closure.
• Serve as a ServiceNow Vulnerability Response (VR) subject matter expert, including vulnerability group and item management, routing and assignment, SLA and aging tracking, evidence capture, exception and risk acceptance workflows, and audit-ready closure.
• Conduct monthly KPI/KRI and SLA health reviews; communicate risk and progress clearly, set expectations, and drive timely decisions with leadership and stakeholder teams.
• Develop and drive remediation action plans (owners, milestones, and escalation paths) for critical and high-severity vulnerabilities; maintain momentum and accountability in a fast-paced environment.
• Build and maintain actionable dashboards and reporting (Power BI and ServiceNow VR) that communicate remediation health, SLA risk, vulnerability aging, and trend insights.
• Facilitate exception and risk acceptance requests by ensuring documentation quality, appropriate approvals, defined expiration dates, and end-to-end tracking of compensating controls.
• Provide routine (daily/weekly) stakeholder updates that clearly communicate status, next steps, owners, and estimated timelines; escalate when expectations or SLAs are at risk.
• Document and continuously improve standard operating procedures (SOPs) and coach junior team members on remediation workflows and ServiceNow VR best practices.
