Vulnerability Management Engineer

LSEG is seeking a deeply technical, hands-on Infrastructure Vulnerability Management Engineer who is passionate about safeguarding complex environments and tackling challenging problems at scale. You will be responsible for identifying, analysing, and driving remediation of infrastructure vulnerabilities across our diverse estate.

Combining a hacker's mindset with an engineer's discipline, you'll understand how vulnerabilities are exploited, how to detect and mitigate them, and how to design scalable, sustainable fixes. You will work closely with application, infrastructure, and governance teams to enhance our overall security posture and continuously improve our vulnerability management programme.

Who You Are

You are a curious and motivated problem-solver who thrives on technical depth and continuous learning. You enjoy delving into vulnerabilities, understanding how they function, and finding the most effective and scalable solutions. You take pride in making a measurable impact on real-world security, not just scanning and reporting.

You are collaborative, data-driven, and pragmatic, able to balance security rigour with engineering realities. Above all, you bring intellectual curiosity and drive to learn and adapt in an ever-evolving landscape.

• Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to vulnerability mitigation into systemic solutions like infrastructure as code (IaC) and automation pipelines.

Analysis, Consultation & Coordination

• Analyse and review vulnerability findings from tools that identify infrastructure vulnerabilities; verify accuracy, identify and validate false positives, and identify systemic patterns.
• Act as a trusted consultant to application and infrastructure teams by explaining findings, prioritising fixes, and supporting technical remediation plans.
• Coordinate remediation activities across multiple teams, ensuring timely closure of high-risk vulnerabilities.
• Manage and track the remediation backlog, maintaining focus on risk reduction and measurable progress.

Governance, Metrics & Continuous Improvement

• Report on vulnerability metrics and remediation status, collaborating closely with the Vulnerability Management Governance function.
• Review and approve exceptions or false-positive requests, balancing risk tolerance with operational realities.
• Perform root cause analysis on recurring or systemic vulnerability issues, driving long-term prevention strategies.
• Tune and optimise identification tools (e.g., Qualys) to enhance accuracy, signal-to-noise ratio, and detection coverage.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong technical background in systems and infrastructure (Linux/Windows servers, networking, virtualisation, cloud platforms).
• Deep understanding of infrastructure vulnerabilities, their root causes, exploitation techniques, and mitigation strategies.
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability management tools such as Qualys or similar platforms
• Familiarity with patch management, secure configuration standards (CIS, NIST, ISO 27001), and change management processes.
• Ability to develop scripts or automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash) to support data analysis and remediation workflows.
• Strong analytical mindset: able to interpret scan data, prioritise based on risk, and communicate actionable insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proven experience collaborating in cross-functional environments with security, DevOps, and infrastructure teams.
