GuidePoint Security provides trusted cybersecurity expertise, solutions and services that help organizations make better decisions and minimize risk. By taking a three-tiered, holistic approach for evaluating security posture and ecosystems, GuidePoint enables some of the nation's top organizations, such as Fortune 500 companies and U.S. government agencies, to identify threats, optimize resources and integrate best-fit solutions that mitigate risk.
General Description
We are looking for a skilled Senior Exposure Management Engineer to support GuidePoint Security's Mid-Atlantic Exposure Management practice. The Senior Exposure Management Engineer will be required to demonstrate strong asset management, integration, and risk-based vulnerability management skills, lead by influence, and strong business/financial acumen to drive the use of progressive exposure management programs that will align the delivery of business objectives and priorities.
About the Mid-Atlantic Exposure Management Practice
The Mid-Atlantic Exposure Management Practice is responsible for helping clients see everything they own and fix what matters most. We build unified, real-time asset inventories and risk-based exposure programs — with the Axonius Asset Cloud at the center — that turn fragmented data from hundreds of security and IT tools into a single, trusted asset model and a prioritized, business-aware remediation backlog.
Our team of exposure management engineers, Axonius platform specialists, and automation developers focuses on cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM), risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM), and exposure prioritization. We partner with client security, IT, infrastructure, and cloud teams to eliminate blind spots, de-duplicate findings across tools, assign asset ownership, and drive measurable risk reduction.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Exposure Management Platform Operations
- Operate and maintain security platforms including vulnerability management, RBVM, CAASM, and CNAPP tools
- Monitor security findings and support prioritization and remediation workflows
- Assist in platform tuning, configuration optimization, and integration with client environments
- Support onboarding of new assets, applications, and cloud environments into security platforms
Exposure Management Operations
- Review exposure findings and assist with prioritization and remediation tracking
- Help manage remediation workflows with client engineering teams
- Generate operational dashboards and reporting for security leadership
- Assist in maintaining asset inventory coverage and scanning accuracy
Traditional Vulnerability Management
- Deploy, configure, and maintain vulnerability scanners (e.g., Tenable Nessus/Tenable.sc, Qualys VMDR, Rapid7 InsightVM) across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
- Design scan sites, asset groups, scan templates, and schedules that deliver complete coverage while minimizing operational impact on production systems.
- Configure and manage authenticated (credentialed) scanning, scan engines, and agent deployments; troubleshoot credential failures and coverage gaps.
- Execute and validate network, host, and web application vulnerability scans; verify findings and reduce false positives.
- Manage the full vulnerability lifecycle — discovery, validation, assignment, remediation, re-scan verification, and closure.
- Coordinate patch and configuration remediation with IT and system owners, and track risk acceptances, exceptions, and compensating controls.
- Perform configuration and compliance scanning against benchmarks such as CIS and DISA STIG.
- Maintain vulnerability management policies, SLAs, and standard operating procedures aligned to frameworks such as NIST, PCI DSS, and CIS Controls.
- Produce recurring vulnerability metrics and reports, including open/aging vulnerabilities, mean time to remediate, and scan coverage.
Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Configuration
- Configure risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) so that vulnerabilities are prioritized by real-world risk — business impact, exposure, and exploitability — rather than by CVSS score alone.
- Ingest and consolidate vulnerability findings from multiple scanners (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7) into RBVM platforms such as Axonius, Nucleus, Brinqa, Armor Code, Cogent, Zafran and configure de-duplication so a single vulnerability reported by different tools is represented once.
- Build and maintain asset criticality ratings and business-context tags so prioritization reflects the importance of each asset to the business.
- Configure enrichment of findings with threat intelligence and exploitability signals (e.g., known-exploited, active-in-the-wild) to surface the vulnerabilities attackers are most likely to use.
- Design saved queries and dynamic asset/vulnerability views that isolate high-risk, exposed, mission-critical findings and filter out low-risk noise and items already within SLA.
- Configure risk scoring, severity mapping, and prioritization logic that combine CVSS, exposure (internet-facing vs. isolated), exploit status, asset criticality, and existing mitigating controls.
- Build automation workflows and dashboards to automate remediation workflows — create and route tickets to the correct owner in ServiceNow/Jira, notify teams, and track SLA and patch-window adherence.
- Configure escalation ("fire alarm") logic and SLA-based rules for critical and zero-day vulnerabilities that require faster-than-standard remediation.
- Build dashboards and reporting that show remediation progress, SLA compliance, risk reduction over time, and coverage — tailored for both operational teams and security leadership.
- Continuously tune prioritization models and reduce alert fatigue so client teams focus effort on the findings that actually reduce risk.
CNAPP & Cloud Security Support
- Assist with the operation and optimization of CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca)
- Support cloud posture monitoring and exposure analysis
- Assist with investigation of cloud misconfigurations, identity exposures, and attack paths
- Work with senior engineers to onboard new cloud environments
Automation & Integrations
- Develop scripts and automation to improve security workflows
- Build integrations between security tools and ticketing systems
- Automate reporting, vulnerability triage, and remediation tracking
- Use APIs and automation frameworks to reduce manual operational effort
- Use the Axonius Query Language, REST API, and Enforcement Center to automate asset queries, enrichment, ticketing, and remediation actions.
Client Engagement
- Participate in regular operational cadence meetings with clients
- Provide updates on platform findings and remediation progress
- Assist senior engineers in troubleshooting security platform issues
- Contribute to documentation and operational playbooks
Required Experience:
- 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering
- Exposure management or risk-based vulnerability management experience
- Experience building and maintaining unified asset inventories from disparate security and IT data sources.
- Experience configuring asset criticality, ownership, and business context to drive risk-based prioritization.
- Familiarity with vulnerability management, exposure management, or CNAPP platforms such as Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Wiz, Axonius, or similar tools
- Hands-on experience running enterprise vulnerability scanning programs, including authenticated scanning, scan scheduling, false-positive validation, and remediation tracking.
- Scripting experience (Python, PowerShell, or similar)
- Experience working with APIs or automating workflows
- Understanding of security fundamentals: vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity and access control, security monitoring
- Strong communication skills and ability to work with engineering teams
- Embraces emerging technologies, including AI tools, to work smarter, solve problems, and drive better business outcomes.
Preferred Experience:
- Experience with CNAPP platforms such as: Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca, Lacework
- Experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP
- Familiarity with container security and Kubernetes
- Experience integrating security tools with ticketing platforms (Jira, ServiceNow)

Tips for Your Remote Management Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote management engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Early applications on remote postings get more attention before inboxes fill.
Show async communication as a core skill
Remote management engineers run process reviews, present findings, and align stakeholders entirely through written documentation and video calls. Include examples of process reports, workflow documentation, or remote project updates you've authored to signal you can operate without in-person coordination.
Highlight distributed project management experience
Remote employers want to see you've managed improvement initiatives across teams that weren't in the same room. Name the tools you've used, whether Jira, Asana, or Smartsheet, and describe how you kept cross-functional work on track without physical presence.
Build a portfolio of process improvement outcomes
A remote candidate without a portfolio is easy to pass over. Document two or three projects where you identified inefficiencies, proposed changes, and measured results. Concrete before-and-after outcomes replace the in-person credibility that an on-site candidate builds naturally.
Remote Management Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote management engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams or remote-first operations, where management engineers coordinate process improvement and operational analysis without being on a physical floor. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, structured async communication, and the ability to document workflows clearly without real-time oversight. Proficiency with project management tools, process modeling software, and data-driven reporting gives candidates a measurable edge.
Which companies hire remote management engineers?
Companies hiring remote management engineers right now include MWResource, Providence, and The Emmes Company, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first consulting firms, distributed technology companies, and large industrial organizations with geographically dispersed operations are the most consistent sources of remote management engineer openings.
Can you get a remote management engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal in-person guidance. Remote-first consulting firms and technology companies with structured onboarding are your best entry points. Demonstrating a process improvement project, lean or Six Sigma coursework, and strong written communication skills can substitute effectively for direct work history.
Do you need a degree for remote management engineer jobs?
Usually, but the weight employers place on a degree varies by sector. Most remote management engineer postings list an industrial engineering or related degree as a baseline expectation. That said, employers increasingly weigh demonstrated skills, process improvement results, and certifications like Six Sigma or PMP alongside formal credentials, particularly at companies with performance-driven hiring cultures.
Which industries hire the most remote management engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote management engineers are Technology & Software and Retail, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed teams coordinating operational efficiency, process design, and performance analysis across multiple locations without requiring engineers to be on-site full time.
