Starling is the UK's first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking! We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way.

We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices.

Our technologists are at the very heart of Starling and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that is all about building things, creating new stuff, and disruptive technology that keeps us on the cutting edge of fintech. We operate a flat structure to empower you to make decisions regardless of what your primary responsibilities may be, innovation and collaboration will be at the core of everything you do. Help is never far away in our open culture, you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together!

The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building things, designing, discovering, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five Starling values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.

We have a Hybrid approach to working here at Starling - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of one of our offices so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. In Technology, we're asking that you attend the office a minimum of 1 day per week.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Vulnerability Management Engineer to join our Cyber Security team. As a Vulnerability Management Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to manage existing vulnerability management-specific tooling, and have an active role in improving existing processes. You will achieve this by creating automated solutions through collaboration with various technical teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain vulnerability management tooling and solutions
• Implement automation to remove manual processes and increase efficiency
• Work with internal remediators to prioritise vulnerability management activities
• Process vulnerability data to provide reports, insights and metrics, that aid in the risk-based approach to vulnerability management.
• Develop integrations for internal and external tools to capture data relevant to the vulnerability remediation process (e.g. by interacting with APIs)
• Ensure compliance with relevant security standards, frameworks, and regulations
• Stay up to date with the latest trends and developments in vulnerability management, security standards, and regulations
