Please review the following job description:
The Cybersecurity Senior Engineer (Attack Surface Management) is responsible for designing, implementing, and maturing advanced security validation capabilities to safeguard enterprise systems and applications. This role focuses on continuous security validation through External Attack Surface Management (EASM) tools, integration with existing security infrastructure, and providing actionable insights to strengthen the firm's cyber resilience. The engineer partners with cross-functional teams to simulate real-world adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), evaluate control effectiveness, and recommend enhancements that align with enterprise risk management and regulatory standards.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.
Lead EASM V * * alidation and E * * ngineering : Investigate and reproduce findings from EASM platforms (e.g., exposed services, misconfigurations, weak crypto, DNS issues, leaked assets)
* * Perform Active/Passive Reconnaissance : Familiarity withopen-sourcetechniques and tools for profiling attack surface
* * Advance EASM C * * apabilities : Develop tuning logic fordiscoveryseeds and asset correlation. Continuously improve signal fidelity and automate common validation tasks
* * Design and Execute BAS Scenarios : Plan and conduct realistic cyberattack simulations that mirror real-world threat actor TTPs across enterprise environments.
* * Analyze Simulation Results : Assess BAS outcomes toidentifysecurity control gaps, vulnerabilities, and opportunities for improved detection and response.
* * Provide Actionable Recommendations : Develop and communicate prioritized recommendations to strengthen security policies, procedures, and technical controls.
* * Collaborate Across Teams : Work with red, blue, and purple teams, as well as incident response and threat intelligence groups, to adjust alerts, rules, and detection logic.
* * Threat Hunting and Intelligence : Leverage threat intelligence to informEASMscenarios and proactively address emerging threats.
* * Vulnerability Management Support : Contribute to the identification, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities based on simulation and testing results.
* * Documentation and Reporting :Maintaindetailed documentation ofASM &BAS methodologies, procedures, and findings; communicate technical results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
