ABOUT THE ROLE: We are a team that brought you Norton, Avast, LifeLock, Avira, AVG, ReputationDefender, and CCleaner, dedicated to providing cybersecurity, privacy, and identity protection to over 500 million users in 150 countries. At Gen, we offer flexible working options, generous time off, and competitive benefits in a diverse and inclusive environment where every team member is valued and celebrated. If you are smart, fearless, and dedicated, join us to power Digital Freedom and help consumers take control of their digital lives. We’re looking for an independent, driven security professional who thrives at the intersection of security, DevOps, and delivery. In this role, you will translate legal and security framework requirements into clear, actionable vulnerability management and remediation programs that operate across multiple Security and DevOps teams. You’ll help design, operationalize, and continually improve our vulnerability management lifecycle, from identification and triage through prioritization and remediation to validation and reporting. This includes secure development practices within regulatory frameworks guiding vulnerability handling, coordinated disclosure, SBOM transparency, patch management, and post-deployment monitoring. You will track, report, and escalate progress, risks, and dependencies, partnering closely with a Senior Project Manager and reporting to senior leadership. If you enjoy making complex requirements practical, measurable, and delivered—this is for you. ABOUT YOU: Practical exposure or experience (typically 3–5 years) in vulnerability management, security engineering, or security program delivery in a cloud/software environment. Demonstrated ability to work independently and drive outcomes across multiple teams. Working understanding of regulatory security requirements and demonstrated experience with common frameworks/regulations implementation (e.g., ISO 27001, NIS2, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI DSS). Strong translation skills: turn policy and control language into developer-ready user stories, acceptance criteria, remediation tasks, and runbooks. Hands-on experience using work tracking tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, etc.) and crafting status reports/dashboards for leadership. Strong communication skills: comfortable analyzing vulnerability trends, including ageing, patch latency, and systemic root causes, supported by concise writing ability, clear meeting facilitation, and demonstrated experience with stakeholder alignment. Understanding of modern SDLC/DevOps practices (CI/CD, IaC, pipelines, change management). Experience in cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP), including shared responsibility and guardrail patterns. Wry sense of humor is a plus WHAT’S NEXT: Our interview process consists of two stages: First round: You’ll meet Andrej Valentovič, the Hiring Manager for this role, to discuss your experience and the position in more detail. Second round: You’ll have an online interview with his manager to further explore your fit and expectations.
