Senior Staff Security Engineer, Vulnerability Management

Your Impact on our Mission

Zocdoc’s most important asset is our people and our platform. As a Senior Staff Engineer, Vulnerability Management, you’ll play a meaningful role in strengthening both by architecting and scaling our next-generation vulnerability detection and remediation ecosystem across Compliance, Security, and Engineering. In this role, you’ll help move our security posture from reactive firefighting to predictive, continuous risk reduction through intelligent automation, deeper full-stack visibility, and faster remediation across infrastructure, containers, and application code.

Your Day to Day Is

• Owning the technical roadmap for an automated, AI-driven vulnerability scanning platform across cloud infrastructure, container registries, operating systems, and application-layer software.
• Building context-engine models that correlate findings from SAST, DAST, SCA, and cloud posture tooling to determine true runtime exploitability.
• Implementing AI-assisted triage workflows that classify vulnerabilities, reduce false positives, and route validated issues to the right engineering teams.
• Leading targeted red teaming and collaborative purple teaming exercises to validate exploitable paths and strengthen runtime defenses.
• Partnering directly with Software Engineering and DevOps to build automated remediation pipelines, including dependency update pull requests and base-image patching workflows.
• Engineering security scanning guardrails into CI/CD pipelines and providing structured telemetry to support continuous compliance and executive risk visibility.
• Working with cutting-edge GenAI tools and technology to analyze findings, improve prioritization, and accelerate remediation workflows.

You'll Be Successful in This Role If You Have

• Meaningful experience in security engineering, vulnerability management, or software development, with at least 8 years focused on infrastructure, container platforms, and product security.
• A proven track record of writing production-grade automation scripts and building custom security tooling at scale.
• Hands-on experience planning or executing offensive security exercises, red teaming, purple teaming, or penetration testing.
• Deep experience securing cloud infrastructure and containerized ecosystems using platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, along with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Advanced proficiency in Python, Go, or Rust to build automation, integrate scanner APIs, and orchestrate automated patching workflows.
• Strong familiarity with adversarial frameworks, vulnerability scoring systems such as CVSS and EPSS, and common application and infrastructure attack vectors including the OWASP Top 10.
• Experience integrating security scanners into CI/CD workflows and using AI or LLM APIs to analyze code or log data for rapid prioritization.
• Required: the ability to integrate generative AI tools into daily workflows to automate tasks, foster innovation, and maximize productivity.
• Advanced security certifications such as OSCE, OSCP, GXPN, CISSP, or equivalent practical engineering experience are highly valued.
