Job Description

Exposure Intelligence Analyst – Infrastructure & Systems (Servers / Containers / K8s / OS)

Job profile/ Business Title: Lead Consultant- Threat & Incident Response

Team and overall work scope

The team operates within a newly established Exposure Management function in the broader cybersecurity organization, focused on modernizing how the enterprise identifies, prioritizes, and mitigates security vulnerabilities shifting from traditional patch approaches to a more strategic focus on true business risk and exploitability
The Individual Contributor roles are designed to bring in deep domain expertise (network, endpoint, cloud, identity, infrastructure, etc.) to bridge the gap between security insights and practical remediation strategies

The Exposure Intelligence Analyst – Infrastructure & Systems serves as the domain-aligned SME responsible for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing exposure risk across enterprise compute platforms, including servers, virtualization, containers, Kubernetes, and operating system hardening.
This role operates within a CTEM model by turning technical findings into actionable exposure intelligence and partnering with engineering SMEs to accelerate risk reduction.

What’s exciting about this role : Directly identify and reduce real exposure across core infrastructure by validating exploitability and eliminating attack paths across servers, containers, and OS platforms, leveraging AI‑assisted analysis to focus on high‑signal, high‑impact risk.

Ideal Candidate:

Experienced infrastructure SME with a strong background in servers, operating systems, and platform engineering (Windows/Linux, virtualization, containers, Kubernetes).
Brings years of hands-on experience securing or building or operating core systems and is able to translate that experience into identifying, validating, and reducing real, exploitable infrastructure exposures.
Demonstrable experience within Server and OS platforms (Windows, Linux), Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), Infrastructure hardening and system-level security controls

Success Measures

Reduction in exploitable infra-layer exposure (misconfigs, weak baselines, patch gaps).
Improved prioritization accuracy (less noise, more real risk).
Faster mitigation outcomes through SME-to-SME partnering with platform engineering.

Key Responsibilities (Core + Domain) Exposure Intelligence (Core)

Analyze exposure signals (vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, control gaps) and translate them into exploitable exposure hypotheses.
Correlate findings across sources to identify attack paths and high-impact exposure conditions.
Prioritize work based on exploitability, blast radius, and business impact; produce clear remediation guidance.

Infrastructure & Systems (Domain)

Own SME coverage for servers (Windows/Linux), hypervisors, containers, and Kubernetes platforms.
Identify systemic risks: insecure baselines, patching gaps, insecure container images, cluster misconfigurations, weak segmentation at the host layer, privilege pathways.
Partner with platform teams to validate remediation effectiveness and ensure durable hardening outcomes.

Required Qualifications

3+ years in security engineering, infrastructure engineering, vulnerability/exposure management, or related cyber operations.
Hands-on knowledge of server/OS hardening, virtualization concepts, and container/Kubernetes fundamentals.
Ability to interpret technical telemetry and translate into actionable risk decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Kubernetes security controls, container runtime security, CIS benchmarks, and secure configuration management.
Scripting/query skills (PowerShell, Python, KQL, SQL) to enrich/validate exposure hypotheses.
Familiarity with attack techniques affecting infra layers (privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence).

Skills

Cyber Incident Response, Docker (Software), Incident Response, Infrastructure Protection, IT Security Operations, Kubernetes, Linux, Operating Systems (OS), Remediation, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Security Controls, Security Engineering, Server Infrastructure, Systems Hardening, Threat Assessment, Virtualization

Compensation

Compensation offered for this role is 100,000.00 - 170,500.00 annually and is based on experience and qualifications.

The candidate(s) offered this position will be required to submit to a background investigation.

Joining our team isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity. One that takes your skills and pushes them to the next level. One that encourages you to challenge the status quo. One where you can shape the future of protection while supporting causes that mean the most to you. Joining our team means being part of something bigger – a winning team making a meaningful impact.
