About the Role:
We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to own our vulnerability management program end to end. In this role, you will drive vulnerability intake, triage, remediation, and reporting across our bug bounty program, our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure, source code hosted on GitHub, and a broad portfolio of third-party SaaS services. You will partner closely with platform engineering, product engineering, SRE, security, IT, legal, and vendor management to make sure vulnerabilities are found fast, triaged accurately, and closed within SLA — and that leadership always has a clear, current picture of the organization's risk posture.The ideal candidate uses AI and automation aggressively to scale themselves, but understands that the core value is clarity, tradeoffs, and execution, not just tooling.
What you'll do:
-
Program Ownership: Own and continuously improve the vulnerability management program, including intake, severity scoring (CVSS/risk-based), SLA definition, and remediation tracking across all asset types.
-
Bug Bounty Operations: Manage the triage/payouts/rewards workflow, and report on program health and trends.
-
Cloud Remediation (GCP): Drive remediation of vulnerabilities found in GCP infrastructure — IAM, networking, Compute/GKE, storage, and logging/monitoring configuration — by partnering with security, cloud, and platform engineering teams.
-
Code & Supply Chain Security: Coordinate remediation of vulnerabilities surfaced through SAST/DAST/SCA tooling (Wiz Code, Snyk, Dependabot, code scanning, secret scanning) across engineering repos, including dependency and supply-chain risk.
-
SaaS Vendor Risk: Build and manage the process for assessing and tracking security posture across third-party SaaS applications.
-
Escalation & Exceptions: Define and enforce escalation paths for overdue or critical/high-severity findings, including risk acceptance and exception processes with appropriate sign-off.
-
Cross-Team Accountability: Partner with engineering managers and tech leads to embed remediation work into sprint planning and hold teams accountable to remediation SLAs.
-
Reporting & Alerting: Establish and maintain a single source of truth for vulnerability status, aging, SLA compliance, and risk trends, with dashboards for engineering leadership, security leadership, and executives.
-
Audit & Compliance Support: Support audit and compliance efforts (SOC 2, ISO 27001, customer security questionnaires) by keeping vulnerability management evidence and metrics audit-ready.
-
Process & Automation: Drive process improvements and automation to reduce manual triage effort and improve time-to-remediation across all vulnerability sources.
Required Skill & Experience:
-
Experience: 4–6+ years of experience in technical program management, security program management, or security operations, with direct ownership of a vulnerability management or application security program.
-
Bug Bounty Expertise: Hands-on experience running a bug bounty program (e.g., HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti), including triage and payout workflows.
-
Cloud Security Knowledge (GCP): Working knowledge of GCP security fundamentals: IAM, VPC/networking, Security Command Center, Cloud Logging/Monitoring, and common cloud misconfiguration risks.
-
Code Security Familiarity: Familiarity with GitHub-based development workflows and code security tooling (Wiz Code, Dependabot, SAST/DAST/SCA tools such as Snyk, Semgrep, or CodeQL).
-
Risk Prioritization: Strong grasp of vulnerability scoring frameworks (CVSS) and risk-based prioritization.
-
Communication: Excellent cross-functional communication skills — able to translate technical vulnerability data into business risk for executive audiences and hold engineering teams accountable without owning the code themselves.
-
Reporting Tools: Proven ability to build reporting/dashboards (e.g., Linear, Jira, ServiceNow, Tableau, Looker) that give leadership real-time visibility into program health.
-
Compliance Awareness: Experience supporting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or FedRAMP.
What we value:
-
Systems Thinking: The ability to see the “big picture” and understand how vulnerability management decisions impact the entire stack — cloud, code, and vendor ecosystem alike.
-
Technical Influence: The ability to drive alignment across engineering and security through expertise and collaboration rather than direct authority.
-
Autonomy: Comfortable owning a program end to end and driving outcomes with minimal oversight.
-
Bias for Action: A track record of closing the gap between finding a vulnerability and actually getting it fixed.
