Svitla Systems Inc.
is looking for a Senior Security Vulnerability Remediation Engineer for a 3-months remote full-time position (40 hours per week) in Colombia.
Our client is a company that specializes in custom software development, technology consulting, and digital transformation initiatives.
You’ll help to enhance the security posture of the applications.
The primary focus of this role is to systematically reduce the attack surface by addressing high-priority security risks.
Using Snyk as the primary scanning tool, the engineer will be responsible for identifying, prioritizing, and remediating dependencies with known exploitable vulnerabilities.
The goal is a targeted reduction of risk, not a simple update-all approach.
Candidate must be able to work during Eastern Time zone business hours.
Requirements:
- At least 7 years of professional experience.
- 1+ years of work experience with Python.
- 1+ years of experience with Ruby on Rails.
- 3+ years of work experience with Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT).
- Proven professional experience using Snyk to identify, prioritize, and manage vulnerabilities in a production environment.
Understanding of interpreting Snyk's findings, including exploiting maturity and reachability.
- Deep expertise with package managers for each ecosystem (e.g., package.json, Go Modules, Pip/Poetry, NPM/Yarn).
- Strong knowledge of Git.
- A strong commitment to quality with proven experience in writing comprehensive tests.
- Bachelor's Degree
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with other SAST/SCA tools (e.g., GitHub Advanced Security, Checkmarx, Trivy).
- Experience integrating security tools like Snyk into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
- Experience with Docker and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
Responsibilities:
- Critically assess Snyk reports to distinguish between theoretical vulnerabilities and those that are genuinely exploitable within the context of our applications.
- Plan and execute targeted dependency upgrades or apply patches specifically to fix the prioritized exploitable vulnerabilities, ensuring minimal disruption to the system.
- Refactor code and update unit/integration tests as necessary to support the upgraded dependencies and validate the fixes.
- Work closely with the internal security and engineering teams, participate in code reviews, and clearly document the rationale for each remediation.
We offer
- US and EU projects based on advanced technologies.
- Competitive compensation based on skills and experience.
- Remote-friendly culture and no micromanagement.
- Christmas Bonus in the amount of 50% of the monthly payment.
- Bonuses for article writing, public talks, other activities.
- Personalized learning program tailored to your interests and skill development.
- Free tech webinars and meetups organized by Svitla.
- Fun corporate onlineoffline celebrations and activities.
- Awesome team, friendly and supportive community!
