Full job description
The Role:
Joining Moderna offers the unique opportunity to be part of a pioneering team that's revolutionizing medicine through mRNA technology, with a diverse pipeline of development programs across various diseases.
As an employee, you'll be part of a continually growing organization, working alongside exceptional colleagues and strategic partners worldwide, contributing to global health initiatives.
Moderna's commitment to advancing the technological frontier of mRNA medicines ensures a challenging and rewarding career experience, with the potential to make a significant impact on patients' lives worldwide.
We are advancing vulnerability risk management by building an evidence-driven data plane that connects asset, vulnerability, threat, remediation, and business-context signals into prioritized action. This role offers the opportunity to shape how Moderna turns high-volume security data into reliable, model-ready products that support risk modeling, owner action, and executive visibility.
As AI-driven discovery increases vulnerability volume and ownership sprawl, this role will help adapt detection, triage, and data products so teams can identify accountable owners, prioritize the right work, and lay the groundwork for future shift-left scanning and unified remediation workflows across code, artifacts, and platforms.
We are seeking a Senior Security Data Engineer, Vulnerability Risk Management to own and scale the data products across the full lifecycle: raw source ingestion, normalized evidence, risk model outputs, and operational reporting.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a self-starter who treats security data as a product, balancing engineering rigor, pragmatic normalization, data quality, and business value.
