AI-Driven Security Engineer: Autonomous Vulnerability Remediation

Meta; Tallahassee (FL); On-site; USD 184,000 - 257,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta is seeking a Security Engineer to join the Scaling – Vulnerability Management team. You will build AI-powered systems that identify, triage, and patch vulnerabilities across Meta’s codebase, creating autonomous remediation pipelines and AI agents to reduce manual review while strengthening supply‑chain defenses.

You will collaborate across security, infrastructure, and product engineering to define scalable automation and address high‑impact, open-ended security challenges, driving

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or relevant field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years work experience securing enterprise-scale infrastructure software and services
• 3-5+ years programming experience with at least one of Python, PHP, Ruby, or similar scripting languages
• Experience remediating infrastructure security gaps across broad corporate boundaries using influence and relationships
• Experience with security control automation/monitoring or “compliance as code” implementations
• Experience thinking critically and defending solutions with communication skills in a cross-functional setting to influence decision makers across all levels of technical background
• Experience identifying, triaging, and remediating software security vulnerabilities - including third-party/open-source dependency vulnerabilities across a large-scale codebase

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-powered autonomous remediation pipelines that detect and patch third-party library vulnerabilities across Meta's codebase, scaling from thousands to hundreds of thousands of packages.
• Develop ML-driven triage and contextualization agents (e.g., Viper Assist, FixieAI) that autonomously assess, prioritize, and suppress vulnerability tasks with high precision — compressing remediation queues down to real, actionable risk.
• Architect supply-chain defense systems, including time-locked package mirrors, quarantine mechanisms, and package decoration services that enrich dependency metadata for safer automated upgrades.
• Drive cross-functional strategy across security, infrastructure, and product engineering teams, defining processes that enable multiple teams to operate at scale with automation.
• Identify and solve ambiguous, open-ended problems where the solution is not initially known — owning technically complex workstreams while enabling others to execute.
