About The Opportunity

At Machinify, we’re building a robust security program to protect our clients’ sensitive healthcare data and maintain the highest standards of information security. As part of the Security Engineering team, you will help operationalize threat management and vulnerability management across Machinify’s cloud and on-premises environments. This role is central to our security operations capability as we integrate four distinct technology platforms and establish a unified security posture across the organization.

As a Security Engineer focused on Threat & Vulnerability Management, you will split your time between vulnerability lifecycle management and supporting the SOC through alert management, SOAR automation, and detection use case development. This is a hands-on engineering role designed for someone with a solid general security foundation who is ready to develop deeper technical skills across both threat and vulnerability disciplines. Prior experience in a SOC or security analyst role is a strong fit for this position.

• Run and maintain vulnerability scans across cloud and on-premises environments using enterprise scanning tools
• Track vulnerabilities through the remediation lifecycle: triage, assignment, follow-up, and closure verification
• Help coordinate penetration testing engagements, including scheduling, scoping support, and tracking findings to remediation
• Assist with attack surface management activities including asset inventory maintenance and external exposure monitoring
• Produce vulnerability reports and metrics for security leadership and engineering stakeholders
• Work with infrastructure and cloud engineering teams to communicate and prioritize remediation
• Maintain documentation for exceptions, risk acceptances, and remediation SLA tracking
  
  

Threat Management & SOC Engineering (50% of role):

• Manage and triage CrowdStrike Falcon alerts, driving escalation and response coordination with the SOC
• Support and improve Red Canary SOAR automations, including updating playbooks and alert enrichment workflows
