Security Engineer at Wilson Sonsini in Palo Alto. Full-time. $116,875 to $158,125 a year. Apply with swipeandhired.

Wilson Sonsini is the premier legal advisor to technology, life sciences, and other growth enterprises worldwide. We represent companies at every stage of development, from entrepreneurial start-ups to multibillion-dollar global corporations, as well as the venture firms, private equity firms, and investment banks that finance and advise them. The firm has approximately 1,100 attorneys in 17 offices: 13 in the U.S., two in China, and two in Europe. Our broad spectrum of practices and entrepreneurial spirit allow exceptional opportunities for professional achievement and career growth.

The Security Engineer, under the direction of the Director, Security Engineering and Operations, owns the day-to-day execution of the firm’s vulnerability management program and administers its privileged access management (PAM) platform. This is a hands-on role centered on finding, prioritizing, reporting on, and driving the remediation of vulnerabilities across the firm’s endpoints, servers, network, cloud, and SaaS environments — and on ensuring that administrative and privileged credentials are vaulted, rotated, monitored, and granted on a least-privilege, just-in-time basis.

The right candidate is as comfortable with technical vulnerability details as they are translating findings into clear priorities for system owners, holding remediation to defined SLAs, and producing reporting that IT leadership and clients can act on.
