About the Role
Qualys is looking for a detail-oriented Windows Patch Management Catalog Researcher to join the Patch Management product team. In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining a comprehensive, accurate patch catalog covering a wide range of third-party Windows software.
Patch Catalog Research & Authoring
Research, author, and maintain patch metadata for third-party Windows applications across a broad software catalog.
Identify new software releases, security updates, and version changes from vendor sources, changelogs, and security advisories (CVE/NVD).
Map vendor releases to structured metadata schemas, including version strings, download URLs, detection logic, and installation parameters.
Track software End-of-Life (EOL) dates and update catalog entries accordingly.
Windows Patching & Installation Knowledge
Document and validate silent installation parameters for diverse installer types (MSI, NSIS EXE, InnoSetup, WiX, etc.).
Research and verify correct msiexec.exe flags, NSIS /S switches, and equivalent silent/unattended arguments per software.
Determine accurate reboot behavior (Yes / No / Maybe) per installer type and document exit codes (success, reboot-required).
Manually test patch installation in sandbox environments and verify detection logic post-install.
