Backblaze External Website - Vulnerability Management Engineer
Requirements
• Experience with enterprise vulnerability or exposure management. • Strong understanding of infrastructure, applications, cloud, containers, networking, and software dependencies. • Experience interpreting vulnerability intelligence and assessing practical exploitability. • Knowledge of risk-based prioritization techniques including CVSS, exploit prediction, known-exploitation intelligence, and environmental context. • Experience correlating vulnerability, asset, configuration, SAST, DAST, SCA, endpoint, or related security data. • Experience with scripting, automation, or data analysis. • Familiarity with continuous exposure management, attack-path analysis, AI-assisted analysis, or automated mitigation is preferred. • Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE D3FEND, and STRIDE. • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 for LLM, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, MITRE ATLAS and MAESTRO. • At this point, we hope you're feeling excited about the job description you're reading. Even if you don't meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. Learning, developing, and growing are key parts of our culture. We're eager to meet people who believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in various ways. We want people to feel comfortable expressing their true selves and to come, stay, and do their best work here.
Responsibilities
• Correlate threat intelligence and vulnerability findings with asset inventory, software configuration, system configuration, application testing, network exposure, ownership, and business criticality. • Assess exploitability and reachability rather than relying on vulnerability severity alone. • Incorporate exploit prediction, known exploitation, open-source threat intelligence, adversary activity, and environmental context into prioritization. • Determine whether exposure requires immediate incident response or remediation under established operational objectives. • Use AI-assisted workflows to ingest and correlate vulnerability intelligence against the organization's actual technology configuration while independently validating conclusions. • Partner with Red Team to validate practical exploitability of significant vulnerabilities. • Identify compensating controls such as configuration changes, access restrictions, segmentation, or filtering when immediate patching is impractical. • Automate vulnerability ingestion, analysis, prioritization, remediation tracking, mitigation, and verification where appropriate.
