Technical Lead, Security Operations

We're in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

This type of work-work that changes the world-is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE...

You will own and evolve our Attack Surface Management (ASM) program, unifying asset discovery, vulnerability intelligence, secrets detection, and automated remediation into a single, outcomes-driven capability. Your mandate is to give the company a real-time, risk-prioritized view of every internal and external exposure-and drive it down to zero wherever possible.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the ASM Lead, you will sit at the intersection of Security Engineering, Infrastructure, Cloud, and DevOps. You will design strategy, set priorities, and lead a small team that continuously discovers assets, assesses and manages vulnerabilities, manages secrets and code-risk detection, perform collaboration and stakeholder engagements, automate and provide metrics and reporting, and orchestrates remediation at scale. Success means measurable risk reduction, shorter time-to-remediate, and clear executive-level reporting.

WHAT YOU'll DO

• Define the multi-year ASM roadmap; align tooling, data flows, and KPIs with business risk.
• Maintain a holistic inventory of on-prem, cloud, container, SaaS, and third-party assets, enriched with business context.
• Lead deployment and tuning of discovery scanners (network, cloud, container, endpoint).
• Correlate asset data to CMDB and CI / CD systems for real-time context.
• Conduct continuous discovery and vulnerability assessment across enterprise-wide assets.
• Operate and optimize the ASM tech stack (e.g., Tenable, etc.).
• Prioritize vulnerability remediation using criticality, exploit probability, rating, threat intel and business risk exposure.
• Document, report, and track remediation through Jira / ServiceNow workflows.
• Manage secret discovery tooling to eradicate hard-coded secrets across repos.
• Partner with developers to shift-left credential hygiene in CI / CD pipelines.
• Act as the single point of coordination (aka Customer Success Manager for ASM) among Security, Cloud, Infrastructure, and Engineering teams, aligning remediation efforts and SLAs.
• Communicating vulnerability results in language understood by both engineers and executives.
• Integrate scanners / APIs with ticketing systems to auto-generate and track findings.
• Define and publish KPIs (e.g., asset coverage, mean-time-to-remediate, risk-reduction trend).
• Produce dashboards and exec briefs that demonstrate posture and progress.
