Remote Endpoint & Software Vulnerability Engineer

Job Description

An employer is seeking a remote contractor to address immediate needs driven by regulatory exam findings with an August deadline for major remediation milestones. This role will support the Software & Endpoint Vulnerability Management function at a highly regulated financial institution. The consultant will focus on identifying, remediating, upgrading, or formally risk-accepting unsupported and vulnerable software across end-user workstations.

The environment includes ~50,000 software instances across the enterprise. The work is largely autonomous, but closely partnered with an existing vulnerability lead, who knows the environment, tools, and processes and will serve as a guide for priorities and escalation paths.

This role is critical to reducing regulatory risk and improving audit outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

Identify unsupported, end-of-life, and vulnerable software across endpoints

Partner with Vulnerability Management to prioritize remediation efforts

Use endpoint scanning and software inventory tools (ex: PatchMyPC or similar) to validate findings

For each identified software issue, determine the appropriate path:

Remove the software safely

Upgrade to a supported / approved version

Document and process Risk Acceptance when remediation is not feasible

Coordinate directly with end users (especially software developers) to:

Communicate risks clearly

Schedule removals or upgrades

Navigate exceptions and risk acceptance conversations

Rescan systems post-remediation to confirm vulnerability closure

Assist with broader vulnerability remediation efforts as capacity allows

Maintain accurate documentation for audit and compliance tracking
