Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, protects the entire attack surface and manages an organization’s cyber risk exposure in real time. In a rapidly evolving, perimeter-less world, Armis ensures that organizations continuously see, protect and manage all critical assets - from the ground to the cloud. Armis secures Fortune 100, 200 and 500 companies as well as national governments, state and local entities to help keep critical infrastructure, economies and society stay safe and secure 24/7.

Armis is a privately held company headquartered in California.

Role Overview

The VMDR Expert will be a senior technical authority responsible for the design, automation, and continuous improvement of Armis’ vulnerability management and detection capabilities.
This role bridges traditional vulnerability management with real-time detection and response — turning raw scan data, exploit intelligence, and asset context into actionable risk decisions.

You’ll collaborate closely with Cloud Security, Threat Intel, and Engineering teams to ensure vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, and remediated in alignment with Armis’ global security strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and evolve Armis’ Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response (VMDR) program across hybrid environments (cloud, SaaS, on-prem).

  • Operate and optimize vulnerability detection tools (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, ServiceNow VR).
  • Integrate vulnerability data with threat intelligence and detection pipelines for risk-based prioritization.
  • Develop automated playbooks for vulnerability validation, alert correlation, and remediation tracking using Python, PowerShell, or REST APIs.
  • Correlate vulnerability data with real-time detections (SIEM/SOAR) to improve exploitability insights.
  • Create dashboards and KPIs for exposure trends, SLA adherence, and MTTR metrics in Splunk, Power BI, or Elastic.
  • Partner with Security Engineering, CloudOps, and Product teams to ensure secure configuration and timely patching.
  • Support incident response investigations where vulnerabilities are exploited or suspected.
  • Maintain compliance alignment for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and FedRAMP control mappings.
    Author VMDR runbooks, response SOPs, and executive risk reports summarizing key exposures and trends.
    Participate in threat-hunting and red/blue team activities to validate vulnerability detection coverage.

Required Qualifications

  • 6–10+ years of experience in Vulnerability Management, Threat Detection, or Security Engineering.
    Advanced knowledge of CVSS, EPSS, CISA KEV, CWE/CVE frameworks and scoring methodologies.
    Hands-on experience with enterprise-grade scanning, detection, and response tools (Tenable, Rapid7, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, ServiceNow VR).
  • Experience building automation pipelines or integrations via API (Python, PowerShell, Bash, JSON).
  • Familiarity with risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) concepts and reporting models.
  • Understanding of cloud security (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Proven ability to collaborate across DevOps, Threat Intel, and Incident Response teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.

Preferred Skills

  • Prior experience in a SaaS or cybersecurity platform company.
  • Familiarity with Armis Centrix™, asset intelligence, or attack surface management tools.
  • Experience building or managing ServiceNow VR modules or similar vulnerability tracking workflows.
  • Certifications such as CISSP, GCCC, CEH, CySA+, or GIAC GVP.
  • Experience integrating vulnerability and detection telemetry into SIEM/SOAR workflows.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
