Senior Security Platform Engineer

Varmoda is seeking an experienced Senior Security Platform Engineer to engineer, integrate, and support enterprise security platforms across hybrid-cloud and on-premises environments.

This role focuses on vulnerability management, patching and remediation, endpoint security administration, and privileged access management (PAM) across Windows and Linux environments. The ideal candidate will have strong experience designing reliable enterprise services, troubleshooting complex infrastructure dependencies, automating operational workflows, and validating security and remediation outcomes across multiple security technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, configure, upgrade, maintain, and troubleshoot enterprise vulnerability management, patch management, endpoint management, and privileged access platforms.
• Engineer asset discovery and security-platform coverage across servers, endpoints, and cloud workloads.

• Design and operate end-to-end patching and remediation workflows, including:
• Risk-based prioritization
• Test rings and pilot deployments
• Change windows
• Deployment validation
• Rollback procedures
• Post-remediation verification
• Correlate vulnerability findings with asset ownership, business criticality, exploit intelligence, ticketing workflows, exceptions, and remediation verification.
• Engineer Privileged Access Management (PAM) controls, including account discovery, credential vaulting and rotation, just-in-time access, least-privilege administration, session auditing, service accounts, and service identities.
• Diagnose platform outages and deployment failures involving agents, operating system services, firewalls, proxies, DNS, TLS certificates, credentials, APIs, and other infrastructure dependencies.
• Develop automation for deployment, remediation, compliance validation, platform health monitoring, and reporting using PowerShell, Python, Bash, APIs, and configuration-management technologies.
• Support platform upgrades, operational break/fix activities, incident response, root cause analysis, and backup/recovery validation.
• Develop and maintain technical runbooks and repeatable operational processes for support teams.

• CVE and CVSS
• CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV)
• Exposure/risk-based vulnerability prioritization
• Asset inventory and discovery
• Remediation validation
• Experience supporting Active Directory/LDAP, privileged identities, service accounts, credential rotation, session controls, and least-privilege access.
• Strong troubleshooting knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, TLS/PKI, proxies, firewalls, REST APIs, and logging/integration issues.
