About the role

  • Security Specialist securing AXON Networks’ AI-driven ISP orchestration platform, cloud infrastructure and connected networking devices. Managing vulnerability scanning, CVE validation, risk prioritization and remediation.

Responsibilities

  • Establish and operate a risk-based vulnerability management capability across cloud, applications, Kubernetes, containers, network infrastructure, software supply chain and cloud-managed customer-premises equipment
  • Establish authoritative visibility into vulnerabilities across cloud, application, container, Kubernetes, network, endpoint, dependency, firmware and CPE asset classes
  • Inventory the attack surface and define coverage for internet-facing and internal assets, cloud services, hosts, network devices, containers, Kubernetes clusters, applications, APIs, source code, dependencies, images, infrastructure as code and CPE/firmware
  • Design, configure and maintain authenticated and unauthenticated scans, agent-based assessments, cloud-native checks, container and dependency scans, attack-surface discovery and targeted validation tests
  • Evaluate, select and administer vulnerability-management tools and integrate results
  • Measure scan coverage, health, credential success, stale assets and blind spots; improve asset-to-owner mapping and data quality
  • Review findings and determine whether they are true positives, false positives, duplicates, accepted risks, mitigated conditions or actionable vulnerabilities
  • Analyze CVE applicability using versions, provenance, CPE/firmware bill of materials, reachability, configuration, exposure, privileges, exploit prerequisites and controls
  • Validate material findings using advisories, proof-of-concept analysis, logs, configuration evidence, package inspection and non-production testing
  • Monitor vulnerability intelligence and vendor advisories
  • Prioritize remediation using CVSS, CISA KEV, EPSS, exploit availability, exposure, reachability, asset criticality, tenant/customer impact and compensating controls
  • Define remediation and mitigation targets by risk tier and escalate actively exploited or internet-reachable vulnerabilities
  • Create remediation records and coordinate patches, upgrades, configuration changes, image rebuilds, dependency updates, firmware releases and compensating controls
  • Verify closure through rescans or equivalent evidence and manage documented risk exceptions
  • Assess vulnerabilities across the cloud-to-CPE service path, including device management, certificates, secrets, provisioning, telemetry, firmware delivery and administrative interfaces
  • Identify affected device models, hardware revisions, firmware branches, software components and deployed cohorts
  • Build integrations and automation for asset enrichment, deduplication, risk scoring, ticketing, ownership routing, SLA tracking, notifications, rescans, exception expiry and evidence collection
  • Maintain dashboards for coverage, exploitable exposure, aging, remediation performance, repeat findings, exceptions, ownership and risk trends
  • Develop playbooks, standards and procedures for vulnerability handling, critical CVEs, zero-day response, scanner administration and tool outages
  • Provide reporting to technical owners and leaders and support audits and customer security inquiries

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in vulnerability management, vulnerability assessment, security engineering, product security, cloud security or a closely related discipline
  • Demonstrated ownership of enterprise scanning and vulnerability-management workflows
  • Strong CVE analysis skills and ability to determine applicability and exploitability
  • Experience with enterprise vulnerability platforms and complementary cloud, container, dependency, application and open-source scanning tools
  • Working knowledge of CVE/CWE, NVD, CVSS, CISA KEV, EPSS, vendor advisories, SBOMs and risk-based prioritization
  • Hands-on knowledge of Linux, TCP/IP, DNS, TLS/PKI, identity and access controls, APIs, cloud infrastructure, containers and Kubernetes
  • Ability to read code, package manifests, container images, configurations, logs and network evidence
  • Scripting or programming ability in Python, Go, PowerShell, Bash or comparable language
  • Experience integrating security platforms with APIs, ticketing and dashboards
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, computer science, engineering or equivalent practical experience
  • Preferred: security experience with service providers, broadband operators, telecom equipment/software vendors, managed-network providers or distributed device fleets
  • Preferred: experience assessing embedded Linux, firmware, broadband gateways, routers, ONTs, Wi-Fi/mesh systems or CPE/IoT products
  • Preferred: familiarity with TR-069/CWMP, TR-369/USP, TR-181, ACS/USP controllers, provisioning, telemetry, certificates and remote firmware lifecycle management
  • Preferred: experience with Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, CI/CD and cloud-native security platforms
  • Preferred: experience with software composition analysis, SBOM/VEX, container/image scanning, secret scanning, SAST/DAST/API security testing and infrastructure-as-code scanning
  • Preferred: experience with coordinated vulnerability disclosure, penetration-test finding intake, zero-day response or product security incident response
  • Preferred: familiarity with NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST SP 800-40, CIS Controls, OWASP guidance, PCI DSS, SOC 2 or ISO 27001
  • Preferred: relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GSEC, GCIH, GPEN, CISSP, CCSP or vendor-specific credentials
  • Work primarily during normal business hours, with on-call responsibility for critical, actively exploited or zero-day security escalations
  • Strict need-to-know access and evidence controls for sensitive vulnerability, exploit and customer information
  • Coordinate intrusive scans, validation tests and production-impacting work through approved change and maintenance processes

Benefits

  • Escalation availability for critical, actively exploited or zero-day vulnerabilities
  • Equal opportunities and non-discrimination
  • Inclusive and diverse working environment
