ABOUT THE ROLE
We're hiring a Vulnerability Management Analyst to own our CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management platform and help engineering and IT teams fix what matters most first. This is an early-career role on the MACOM Information Security Team, reporting to the Manager of Vulnerability Response & BCDR.
You'll keep our exposure data accurate and complete, then turn it into clear, prioritized work for the teams who own the assets. Half the job is the platform; the other half is partnering with people. You don't need to have done this exact job before, but you should be curious about how attackers find weaknesses and motivated to help others close them.
CrowdStrike Exposure Management administration
- Configure and maintain CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, including asset groups, tags, filters, dashboards, and saved views.
- Monitor sensor and asset coverage, identify unmanaged or missing assets, and work with IT to close coverage gaps.
- Tune prioritization settings (such as ExPRT.AI ratings, asset criticality, and internet exposure) so risk scores reflect our environment.
- Maintain integrations and data flows between Falcon and other tools, such as ticketing (e.g., Jira / ServiceNow) and reporting.
- Keep platform documentation, runbooks, and user access up to date, and stay current on new Falcon features and release notes.
Vulnerability review and prioritization
- Run recurring vulnerability reviews with engineering, infrastructure, and IT teams to walk through their open findings.
- Help teams decide what to fix first based on exploitability, asset criticality, exposure, and business context, not just CVSS score.
- Track remediation against our SLAs, follow up on overdue items, and escalate when needed.
- Validate fixes, investigate false positives, and help document and track risk exceptions.
- Watch for newly disclosed, actively exploited vulnerabilities (e.g., CISA KEV) and help teams respond quickly.
Reporting
- Produce regular metrics on open vulnerabilities, remediation trends, SLA performance, and coverage.
- Translate technical findings into clear summaries for both engineers and leadership.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 1–3 years of experience in IT, security operations, systems administration, help desk, or a related role (internships, labs, and homelab work count).
- A working understanding of vulnerabilities and common terms like CVE, CVSS, patching, and misconfiguration.
- Familiarity with Windows, macOS, and Linux at a basic administration level.
- Basic networking knowledge, such as ports, protocols, DNS, and firewalls.
- Comfort with spreadsheets and dashboards for filtering, sorting, and summarizing data.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and the confidence to follow up with teams on deadlines.
- Strong organization and attention to detail when tracking many open items at once.
NICE TO HAVE
- Hands-on experience with CrowdStrike Falcon, especially Exposure Management (formerly Spotlight), or similar tools like Tenable, Qualys, or Rapid7.
- An entry-level certification such as CompTIA Security+, Network+, or a CrowdStrike Falcon certification.
- Exposure to risk-based prioritization frameworks such as EPSS, CISA KEV, or SSVC.
- Basic scripting in Python or PowerShell, or experience with APIs, to automate reports or data pulls.
- Experience with ticketing systems such as Jira or ServiceNow.
- Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
First 90 days: You know our environment and the Falcon Exposure Management console well enough to answer most day-to-day questions on your own. You've reviewed asset coverage, cleaned up tagging and asset groups, and started running vulnerability reviews with at least a few teams.
First year: Teams see you as their go-to partner for vulnerability questions. Coverage gaps are known and shrinking, reporting runs on a regular cadence, and remediation within SLA is measurably better than when you started.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Information Security Engineer
Target industries with compliance mandates
Financial services, healthcare, and defense contractors sponsor Information Security Engineers at high rates because regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC create non-negotiable security headcount. These employers budget for sponsorship as a cost of doing business.
Certifications accelerate approval
CISSP, CISM, and CompTIA Security+ strengthen your H-1B petition by demonstrating specialized expertise. USCIS officers reviewing security roles look for credentials that confirm the position genuinely requires theoretical and applied cybersecurity knowledge beyond general IT skills.
Align your degree field precisely
Your degree must be in computer science, cybersecurity, information assurance, or a closely related field. A general IT or business degree creates sponsorship risk. If your degree is adjacent, supplementary coursework or certifications help establish the required educational nexus.
Clarify your specialization in applications
Employers distinguish between network security, cloud security, application security, and GRC roles when evaluating sponsorship. Be specific about your specialization. A focused skill set is easier and less expensive to justify in an H-1B petition than a broadly defined security generalist role.
Ask about the employer's immigration attorney
Established sponsors use dedicated immigration counsel, which signals a functional sponsorship process. During interviews, asking about their attorney or legal support is a reasonable question that also signals you understand how sponsorship works and won't require hand-holding through it.
Factor in clearance requirements early
Some Information Security Engineer roles require security clearances that non-U.S. citizens cannot obtain. Filter your search to roles without clearance requirements from the start. Pursuing roles you're ineligible for wastes time and can damage relationships with otherwise willing sponsors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Information Security Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. Information Security Engineer consistently qualifies as a specialty occupation because USCIS recognizes the role as requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, or a directly related field. Employers should avoid job descriptions that list a degree as preferred rather than required, as that framing weakens the specialty occupation argument and can result in a Request for Evidence.
Which visa types are available to Information Security Engineers seeking U.S. sponsorship?
H-1B visa is the most common path and applies to all nationalities. Australians can use the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and is easier to obtain. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under the TN visa if the role aligns with the computer systems analyst category. O-1A is available for engineers with demonstrated exceptional ability, such as published research, major certifications, or leadership in high-profile incident response programs.
How do I find Information Security Engineer roles that sponsor visas?
Migrate Mate lists Information Security Engineer jobs from employers with verified sponsorship history, so you're not applying blind to companies that won't consider visa candidates. Given that many security roles at defense contractors and cleared facilities explicitly exclude non-citizens, filtering for sponsorship-friendly employers before applying saves significant time and avoids discouraging rejections.
Can a cybersecurity bootcamp certificate substitute for a degree in an H-1B petition?
Not on its own. USCIS requires a U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent for H-1B qualification. A bootcamp certificate isn't equivalent. However, under the three-for-one rule, three years of specialized work experience can substitute for one year of a four-year degree. A two-year associate's degree combined with substantial hands-on security experience may bridge the gap, though this approach carries more petition risk and benefits from experienced immigration counsel.
Do security clearance requirements affect H-1B sponsorship eligibility for this role?
Yes, significantly. Roles requiring a Secret or Top Secret clearance are generally unavailable to non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents, since clearances require U.S. citizenship or, in limited cases, lawful permanent residency. H-1B holders cannot obtain most clearances. Focus your search on roles in the private sector, financial services, healthcare technology, and commercial cloud environments, where clearance requirements are rare and sponsorship rates are high.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Information Security Engineer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
