## About the role

In this role, you will turn ambiguous security problems into clear solutions, and work with engineering teams to address root causes and develop technical controls that reduce vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC. You’ll use AI and automation to help scale the overall vulnerability lifecycle across Datadog. You will use data and sound technical judgment to prioritize risk, and partner with security, product, platform, and compliance teams to bring scalable solutions into practice.

## What they're looking for

- You have experience identifying, prioritizing, and driving remediation of vulnerabilities in large software, cloud, or infrastructure environments
- You can independently solve complex technical problems using one or more programming languages such as Go, Python, or Java
- You have experience with cloud-native or multi-cloud environments, containers or orchestration platforms, infrastructure as code, and modern software-delivery workflows
- You have experience reproducing and validating externally reported vulnerabilities
- You use data, exploitability, exposure, technical context, and business impact to make and explain risk decisions
- You are comfortable making progress without a complete specification: you break problems down, test assumptions, fail fast, document tradeoffs, and adjust when new information emerges
