Who We Are
As the leader in cloud-managed IT, Cisco connects passionate people to their mission by simplifying the digital workplace. Our impact is driven by the innovative, purposeful, and vibrant people who make up our inclusive community. When technology is intuitive, our customers can focus on what matters!
About The team
As a member of the Device Trust Assurance team, you will have a substantial impact on the security of millions of Cisco devices all around the world. We are looking for people who are passionate about security and eager to learn the ropes of vulnerability management (reporting, triaging and driving remediation).
About The Role
The Vulnerability Management Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring the security of our systems by managing and mitigating vulnerabilities. Key responsibilities include reviewing vulnerability scanning reports, assessing severity, and triaging vulnerabilities, along with efficiently managing Jira tickets to facilitate timely remediation or mitigation. This role requires utilizing tools such as Vigiles, yocto CVE scanner to conduct vulnerability scanning and analysis, and implementing a risk-based prioritization method for effective management. Leading process optimization efforts by identifying gaps in the vulnerability management workflow and enhancing program efficiency is also essential.
Collaboration with international security organizations as well as engineering teams is necessary to provide guidance on mitigating and remediating vulnerabilities, identify and report automation bugs, and contribute to solutions that reduce manual workload in the vulnerability management lifecycle. The role involves investigating vulnerability alerts, assessing their impact, and calculating severity scores based on attack complexity. Additional duties include maintaining scanning tools, reviewing CVEs for potential risk exceptions, and guiding teams on security best practices and patch management standards. Flexibility to work across different time zones is crucial for effective global collaboration and system security focusing on vulnerability management across Cisco's core platforms including but not limited to
- IOS-XE network operating systems

- IIoT/Industrial IoT solutions
Qualifications

- Proficiency with vulnerability scanning tools (Semgrep, blackduck, vigiles, yocto cve scanner) and firmware analysis
- Experience with SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) analysis
- Ability to trace through Linux kernel configuration systems (KCONFIG) and interpret Makefiles
- Strong C programming skills and understanding of conditional code compilation
- Experience with scripting languages (Python, Bash) and network analysis tools (Wireshark)
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively across global teams and multiple time zones
- Consistent track record to ship in a dynamic environment
- Experience using Jira and other Atlassian software
Bonus points

Les fourchettes d’embauche pour les postes de vente comprennent la rémunération de base et la rémunération incitative.

Ils auront droit à quatre-vingts (80) heures de congés de maladie à leur date d’embauche et le 1er janvier de chaque année par la suite. Jusqu’à 80 heures de congés de maladie non utilisées seront reportées d’une année civile à l’autre, de sorte que le nombre maximal d’heures de congé de maladie dont un employé peut disposer est de 160 heures. Les employés de l’Illinois bénéficient d’un programme spécifique de congés spécialement conçu pour répondre aux exigences locales. Tous les employés disposent également de congés payés pour faire face à des situations critiques ou d'urgence. Nous offrons des heures supplémentaires rémunérées pour faire du bénévolat et rendre service à la communauté.

1,5 % de l'incitatif cible pour chaque tranche de 1 % du chiffre d'affaires atteint entre 50 % et 75 %;
1 % de l'incitatif cible pour chaque tranche de 1 % du chiffre d'affaires atteint entre 75 % et 100 %; et lorsque le rendement dépasse 100 % d’atteinte, les taux incitatifs sont égaux ou supérieurs à 1 % pour chaque tranche de 1 % du chiffre d'affaires atteint, sans limites de rémunération incitative.
Pour les éléments de performance de vente non basés sur les quotas, tels que les objectifs de vente stratégiques, Cisco peut payer jusqu’à 125 % de l’objectif.
