Engineer in Vulnerability Intelligence

Proficio is an award-winning provider of managed detection and response (MDR) services. We provide 24/7 security monitoring, investigation, alerting and response services to organizations in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail and other industries. Proficio has been highlighted in Gartner’s Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services for three consecutive years. We have a track record of innovation, having invented the concept of SOC-as-a-Service. We have pioneered the provision of automated response services and risk scoring dashboards in our field. Our typical client is a medium to large-sized organization that lacks the resources to tackle the challenges of a rapidly changing threat landscape. Hiring and retaining cybersecurity professionals can be difficult, and many of our potential clients also struggle to effectively harness technology and build robust processes. Proficio has developed a unified service delivery platform designed to meet the needs of the most demanding clients, but what sets us apart is the quality and passion of our staff. We believe that the SOC of the Future will bring together the creativity of human intelligence with the power of technologies like AI. We are seeking a Vulnerability Intelligence Engineer to join our Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) Services team. This engineer will play an integral role in providing consultative security services, building vulnerability management solutions, performing vulnerability assessments and providing vulnerability intelligence to aid our clients in prioritizing their remediation efforts.

The candidate will play a critical role in engineering and applying new vulnerability intelligence metrics to our vulnerability assessment and prioritization processes. Candidates should have vulnerability management experience using Qualys cloud platform tools alongside a working knowledge of Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, containers, orchestration tools, Splunk and a good understanding of Windows, Linux, macOS, TCP/IP, Network Security and Python. This job can be done remotely in the U.S. or from our SOC in San Diego. Some travel may be required. We reward our team with a salary range of $85,000 - $105,000, benefits starting the first month, and structured training for success.
