GEICO is seeking a highly experienced Senior Staff Security Engineer to lead the strategy, architecture, and technical execution of Vulnerability Management across a complex, hybrid technology ecosystem. This role blends deep security engineering expertise with strong architectural leadership and the ability to influence engineering practices at scale. You will drive the organization’s vulnerability lifecycle maturity, champion security‑by‑design, and elevate the skills and effectiveness of engineers across multiple teams. This is a high‑impact technical role who maintains a strong connection with both customers and underlying systems for shaping the company’s vulnerability management maturity, influencing engineering culture, and safeguarding critical systems. The Senior Staff Security Engineer will drive meaningful, measurable improvements to security posture while enabling teams to build and ship technology with confidence. They demonstrate a keen ability to dive deep into complex problems to fully understand how systems operate, discerning when to make incremental improvements and when to challenge the status quo to drive impactful results. They are well-versed with Vulnerability Management Lifecycle - asset discovery, internal/external scans, contextualization and risk-based assessment, triaging of CVEs, detection authoring, security data pipeline, reporting, and remediation. This role is an advisor to the Sr Director and is critical to our cybersecurity objectives. The position requires a strong security and engineering background. The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining a strong security posture for the company through close collaboration with infrastructure, development, product, and other organizations across GEICO to integrate security into the ecosystem from design through deployment to sustainable operations.
