About the job
The Vulnerability Management (VM) Engineer will be responsible for identifying, analyzing, and supporting the remediation of vulnerabilities across Cloudflare's infrastructure and cloud environments. This role involves close collaboration with Engineering, Infrastructure, Cloud, and Compliance teams to identify, triage, and drive timely and effective remediation of security vulnerabilities in line with defined SLAs. A key focus will be supporting DOD IL4 and Fedramp preparation, ensuring vulnerability processes, evidence, and tooling align with regulatory and assurance requirements. The engineer will also apply AI-driven tools and methodologies to enhance scanning efficiency, triage accuracy, and automated remediation pathways. We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented individual capable of managing multiple remediation activities concurrently.
Responsibilities
- Conduct vulnerability scanning and perform in-depth analysis of findings from scanning tools to verify accuracy, identify systemic patterns, and filter out false positives.
- Triage, validate, and prioritize vulnerabilities using risk-based approaches to determine real business impact, and work with engineering and compliance teams to agree on remediation actions and timelines.
- Develop, document, and deliver technical remediation guidance and solutions to enable application and infrastructure teams to remediate efficiently and consistently.
- Support DOD IL4 and Fedramp preparation by ensuring vulnerability management processes, evidence, reporting, and controls meet regulatory and assurance expectations.
- Work closely with engineering and service teams to embed vulnerability management into delivery pipelines, operational processes, and change management.
- Leverage AI security tools and automation to streamline triage, pattern recognition, and risk prioritization.
- Establish strong relationships with engineering teams to track and report status and remediation progress.
- Manage and track the remediation backlog, maintaining focus on risk reduction and measurable progress.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of vulnerability management standards, procedures, and playbooks, ensuring alignment with IL4, Fedramp, and other compliance requirements.
Requirements
- Solid understanding of DoD Impact level IL4, FedRAMP, SOC-2, and PCI frameworks.
- 3+ years of Vulnerability Management experience in a heavily regulated environment.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or relevant security certifications.
- Strong communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with technical and non-technical teams.
- Strong understanding of CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) and risk assessment methodologies in a business context.
- Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning platforms (e.g., Qualys, Nessus, Rapid7 InsightVM).
- Strong analytical skills to identify patterns in data and distinguish between theoretical risk and actual exploitability.
- Practical experience using AI-powered security tools or generative AI assistants to accelerate vulnerability triage, code analysis, or remediation guidance.
- Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for automation.
- Proficiency in using ticketing tools like JIRA for managing tickets and tasks.
- Experience integrating LLMs or AI APIs into cybersecurity workflows and automation pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure pentesting tools.
Benefits
- Eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.
