General Description
We are looking for a skilled Exposure Management Engineer to support GuidePoint Security's Mid-Atlantic Exposure Management practice, with a primary focus on deploying, configuring, and operating the Axonius Asset Cloud to power risk-based vulnerability management and cyber asset management for our clients. This role will engage in the development of unified asset inventories, risk-based prioritization models, and automated remediation workflows in Axonius while providing “Wow Them” service to clients and/or internal customers or co-workers.
The Exposure Management Engineer will be required to demonstrate strong asset management, integration, and risk-based vulnerability management skills, lead by influence, and strong business/financial acumen to drive the use of progressive exposure management programs — built on Axonius — that will align the delivery of business objectives and priorities.
About the Mid-Atlantic Exposure Management Practice
The Mid-Atlantic Exposure Management Practice is responsible for helping clients see everything they own and fix what matters most. We build unified, real-time asset inventories and risk-based exposure programs — with the Axonius Asset Cloud at the center — that turn fragmented data from hundreds of security and IT tools into a single, trusted asset model and a prioritized, business-aware remediation backlog.
Our team of exposure management engineers, Axonius platform specialists, and automation developers focuses on cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM), risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM), and exposure prioritization. We partner with client security, IT, infrastructure, and cloud teams to eliminate blind spots, de-duplicate findings across tools, assign asset ownership, and drive measurable risk reduction.
Key focus areas of the practice:
- Deploying and configuring the Axonius Asset Cloud — data connections, asset correlation, and coverage gap analysis
- Configuring risk-based vulnerability management in Axonius — de-duplication, asset criticality, exploitability, and business-context prioritization
- Automating enforcement, ticketing, and remediation workflows using the Axonius query and enforcement engine
Roles and Responsibilities:
Axonius Platform Engineering
- Deploy, configure, and maintain the Axonius Asset Cloud (Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management / exposure platform) across complex hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises client environments.
- Design and build data connections (adapters) to onboard data from security, IT, identity, cloud, endpoint, and network sources — EDR, vulnerability scanners, MDM, IdP, CMDB, cloud providers, NGFW, and case management tools — via API.
- Configure and tune the Axonius asset correlation engine so that data from disparate sources resolves into unified, de-duplicated asset records.
- Perform daily operational support, monitoring, and maintenance of the Axonius platform, including adapter health, data freshness, and system performance.
- Work with third parties and client tool owners to ensure the correct data is onboarded, credentialed, and refreshed on the right cadence.
Platform Operations
- Operate and maintain security platforms including vulnerability management, CAASM, and CNAPP tools
- Monitor security findings and support prioritization and remediation workflows
- Assist in platform tuning, configuration optimization, and integration with client environments
- Support onboarding of new assets, applications, and cloud environments into security platforms
Exposure Management Operations
- Review exposure findings and assist with prioritization and remediation tracking
- Help manage remediation workflows with client engineering teams
- Generate operational dashboards and reporting for security leadership
- Assist in maintaining asset inventory coverage and scanning accuracy
Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (Axonius) Configuration
- Configure risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) in Axonius so that vulnerabilities are prioritized by real-world risk — business impact, exposure, and exploitability — rather than by CVSS score alone.
- Ingest and consolidate vulnerability findings from multiple scanners (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7) into Axonius, and configure de-duplication so a single vulnerability reported by different tools is represented once.
- Build and maintain asset criticality ratings and business-context tags in Axonius so prioritization reflects the importance of each asset to the business.
- Configure enrichment of findings with threat intelligence and exploitability signals (e.g., known-exploited, active-in-the-wild) to surface the vulnerabilities attackers are most likely to use.
- Design saved queries and dynamic asset/vulnerability views that isolate high-risk, exposed, mission-critical findings and filter out low-risk noise and items already within SLA.
- Configure risk scoring, severity mapping, and prioritization logic that combine CVSS, exposure (internet-facing vs. isolated), exploit status, asset criticality, and existing mitigating controls.
- Build Axonius Enforcement Center actions to automate remediation workflows — create and route tickets to the correct owner in ServiceNow/Jira, notify teams, and track SLA and patch-window adherence.
- Configure escalation (“fire alarm”) logic and SLA-based rules for critical and zero-day vulnerabilities that require faster-than-standard remediation.
- Build dashboards and reporting that show remediation progress, SLA compliance, risk reduction over time, and coverage — tailored for both operational teams and security leadership.
- Continuously tune prioritization models and reduce alert fatigue so client teams focus effort on the findings that actually reduce risk.
Asset Management (Axonius) Configuration
- Configure Axonius data connections (adapters) across security, IT, cloud, identity, endpoint, and network sources to build a comprehensive, real-time inventory of all assets — devices, users, cloud resources, SaaS, and software.
- Tune the asset correlation and de-duplication engine so records from disparate sources merge into a single trusted asset model the entire team can rely on.
- Configure coverage and gap analysis to automatically surface unmanaged, unknown, or non-compliant assets — e.g., devices missing EDR, endpoints missing an agent, or assets absent from the CMDB.
- Build and maintain asset categorization, tagging, and business-context enrichment (owner, environment, criticality, data sensitivity, location) to power downstream prioritization and ownership.
- Configure asset ownership assignment so every finding maps to an accountable owner, closing the “who owns this?” gap that stalls remediation.
- Establish and maintain data hygiene — adapter scheduling, credential management, field mapping, and data freshness — to keep the inventory accurate and current.
- Configure enforcement actions that keep the inventory and other systems in sync — e.g., push corrected/enriched asset data back into the CMDB, open tickets for coverage gaps, or trigger onboarding of missing agents.
- Build saved queries, dashboards, and reports that give clients continuous visibility into asset inventory, coverage, and policy gaps (comparable to building a unified inventory of tens of thousands of assets).
- Compile and reconcile asset inventories from disparate data sources, applying knowledge of network, cloud, and endpoint technologies commonly used in enterprise environments.
- Partner with SIEM, automation, and security operations teams to leverage Axonius asset data for detections, automation, and exposure analysis.
CNAPP & Cloud Security Support
- Assist with the operation and optimization of CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca)
- Support cloud posture monitoring and exposure analysis
- Assist with investigation of cloud misconfigurations, identity exposures, and attack paths
- Work with senior engineers to onboard new cloud environments
Automation & Integrations
- Develop scripts and automation to improve security workflows
- Build integrations between security tools and ticketing systems
- Automate reporting, vulnerability triage, and remediation tracking
- Use APIs and automation frameworks to reduce manual operational effort
- Use the Axonius Query Language, REST API, and Enforcement Center to automate asset queries, enrichment, ticketing, and remediation actions.
Client Engagement
- Participate in regular operational cadence meetings with clients
- Provide updates on platform findings and remediation progress
- Assist senior engineers in troubleshooting security platform issues
- Contribute to documentation and operational playbooks
