About the Role
Datadog is seeking a Senior Security Engineer to enhance their vulnerability management program. This role involves combining vulnerability management expertise with hands-on engineering to improve the vulnerability lifecycle across Datadog's multi-cloud products and services. You will address security challenges, collaborate with engineering teams on root cause analysis, and implement technical controls to reduce vulnerabilities early in the SDLC. The position also utilizes AI and automation to scale the vulnerability lifecycle and employs data-driven judgment for risk prioritization, working with various teams to implement solutions.
Responsibilities
- Work across the vulnerability lifecycle from detection and impact assessment through risk-based prioritization, remediation, and verification.
- Use AI and automation to build tools, services, and workflows that make security ideas concrete, validate them quickly, and create alignment for scalable implementation.
- Reduce engineering toil through a “PRs, not tickets” approach, using automation to enrich findings, identify ownership, recommend or deliver fixes, and track outcomes.
- Analyze recurring vulnerabilities and remediation failures to identify root causes and opportunities to prevent issues earlier in the SDLC.
- Partner with SDLC Security, Product Security, platform teams, and engineering teams to balance technical constraints, business impact, and risk; communicate concerns early and pair problems with actionable options.
- Provide evidence and subject matter expertise for vulnerability management processes and controls for multiple compliance frameworks (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI, FedRAMP, ISO).
Requirements
- Experience identifying, prioritizing, and driving remediation of vulnerabilities in large software, cloud, or infrastructure environments.
- Ability to independently solve complex technical problems using one or more programming languages such as Go, Python, or Java.
- Experience with cloud-native or multi-cloud environments, containers or orchestration platforms, infrastructure as code, and modern software-delivery workflows.
- Experience reproducing and validating externally reported vulnerabilities.
- Ability to use data, exploitability, exposure, technical context, and business impact to make and explain risk decisions.
- Comfort making progress without a complete specification: break problems down, test assumptions, fail fast, document tradeoffs, and adjust when new information emerges.
- Ability to use AI-assisted tools thoughtfully, validate their output, and explain the reasoning behind decisions.
- Ability to influence across security, engineering, product, and compliance teams through clear communication, technical credibility, and solutions that reduce friction.
- Eligible for any required authorizations from the US government for certain roles.
