The Role

Your Role

Kyndryl is seeking a Cybersecurity Specialist to join our team of talented Technical Specialists as a Vulnerability Management Subject Matter Expert. In this critical advisory and technical role, you will safeguard the vital digital systems of global enterprises by identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security flaws before they can be exploited.

Operating at the intersection of hands-on security assessment and strategic risk management, you will serve as a subject matter expert who evaluates baseline configurations, troubleshoots complex scan issues across distributed networks, and guides cross-functional teams and stakeholders on proactive remediation.

What You Will Do

• Develop, implement, and track risk-based mitigation strategies across networks, operating systems, and enterprise applications.
• Organize and run network-based scans to identify attack vectors and host-based scans to detect vulnerabilities across servers, workstations, and network hosts.
• Troubleshoot and resolve scanner failures, target-host communication issues, and intermediate network hurdles to ensure comprehensive coverage.
• Compile, track, and report on vulnerability metrics and mitigation efficacy to quantify overall program maturity.
• Establish, update, and maintain vulnerability management policies, standard operating procedures, and technical documentation.
• Review, define, and evaluate technical requirements for modern vulnerability management and remediation solutions.
• Act as a mentor and technical advisor across security and IT teams to foster vulnerability awareness and secure configuration practices.

Your Future at Kyndryl

Becoming a Vulnerability Management SME at Kyndryl is an excellent gateway to many different paths. You’ll be creating a well-rounded skillset while gaining professional certifications and qualifications. You can evolve horizontally into other technical or non-technical areas, or move vertically into senior leadership or specialized domain roles. There are many different types and flavors of roles at Kyndryl, so everyone can find the opportunity that suits them best.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required Skills and Experience

• 3+ years of hands-on technical experience with vulnerability scanning and management platforms (e.g., Qualys, Tenable Nessus, Tanium, or equivalent).
• Practical experience troubleshooting host-, network-, and scanner-level scan failures across enterprise infrastructure.
• Working knowledge of network security fundamentals, secure baseline configurations, and system hardening practices.
• Demonstrated ability to build, script, or automate security workflows using languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, Java, or C/C++.
• Proven track record designing risk-based remediation priorities and articulating vulnerability metrics to technical and business teams.
• Strong analytical, analytical-thinking, and diagnostic skills paired with an ability to mentor and train peers in vulnerability lifecycle management.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Active security certification such as CISSP, CompTIA Security+, CCSP, or GIAC (GSEC/GEVA).
• Background in Security Operations Center (SOC) environments, SIEM integration, or Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tooling.
• Experience with DevSecOps methodologies, CI/CD pipeline security integration, or Zero Trust architecture.
• Prior experience providing technical advisory services or threat posture briefings to executive leadership.
