Job summary

recursionpharmaceuticals seeks a leader to drive continuous exposure management across cloud and on-prem environments. You will design multi-agent workflows to detect exposures, prioritize risks, and verify fixes with audit trails and rollback safeguards.

The role focuses on automating checks to distinguish exploitable conditions, integrating with CI/CD and configuration management, and defining risk-based remediation timelines aligned with security controls and compliance requirements.

Qualifications

• Degree in computer science, information security, or a related area, or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 7 years in vulnerability or exposure management, or a related security field, including leading programs from strategy through delivery in cloud-first or hybrid environments.
• Strong record of turning vulnerability data into prioritized, assigned, and verified fixes.
• Experience building or deploying AI/LLM agents or multi-agent systems for security/workflows, including orchestration, tool use, and evaluation.
• Understanding of approval processes, audit logging, rollback controls, and risks of automated remediation.
• Proficiency in a programming language such as Python, Go, or Java, plus scripting for automation and integration.
• Experience with vulnerability and exposure management platforms is expected; the available source does not preserve the complete list of platforms or remaining qualifications.

Responsibilities

• Design multi-agent workflows that discover exposures, map dependencies, propose fixes, and verify remediation with audit trails and rollback safeguards.
• Prioritize findings using reachability, attack paths, business importance, and current exploit intelligence over severity scores.
• Automate checks that distinguish exploitable conditions from theoretical findings to reduce alert noise for engineering teams.
• Set and advance a continuous threat exposure management strategy, including asset discovery and remediation workflows.
• Integrate findings and fixes with ticketing, CI/CD, and configuration management systems to reduce manual handoffs.
• Work with engineering and IT on secure defaults, risk-based remediation timelines, program metrics, and controls that support compliance.
