TL;DR · Senior Security Automation Engineer

As a Senior Security Automation Engineer within the Detection & Automation Engineering team, you will design and build production-grade automation, orchestration, and agentic AI systems to scale security operations. You will develop SOAR playbooks, custom services, and enterprise-grade APIs to automate enrichment, correlation, and containment across the security stack. Your daily work involves partnering with Detection Engineering to transform new detection rules into working response actions, including identity-and access-related responses during live incidents. You will utilize Python, REST APIs, and SOAR platforms like Splunk SOAR, Tines, or XSOAR to integrate identity providers, endpoint platforms, and ticketing systems. The role focuses on solving the gap between detection and containment by engineering autonomous multi-step workflows and Detection-as-Code integrations to achieve machine-speed response.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain automation and orchestration systems including SOAR playbooks, custom services, and agentic AI workflows.
  • Engineer and verify automated response actions for every new detection rule defined by the Detection Engineering team.
  • Architect and build enterprise-grade APIs and connectors to provide machine-speed enrichment and correlation across the security stack.
  • Own containment and remediation automation for incident response, specifically focusing on identity and access-related actions.
  • Integrate automation with ecosystem tools such as identity providers, EDR platforms, and ticketing systems via REST APIs.
  • Design and deploy agentic AI systems featuring multi-step autonomous workflows and context engineering.
  • Triage production automation issues as an operational priority and track metrics for coverage, reliability, and time-to-remediate.
  • Contribute to Detection-as-Code integration and document automation logic for team-wide ownership.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in security engineering, software engineering, or security automation.
  • Proven experience designing, building, and operating enterprise-scale APIs, services, or orchestration systems.
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining SOAR playbooks (Splunk SOAR, Tines, XSOAR, etc.) using Python.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python for production automation development.
  • Demonstrated experience building or deploying agentic AI systems, including agent orchestration and context engineering.
  • Practical understanding of incident response and security investigative workflows.
  • Experience integrating systems with SIEM, identity/access systems, and ticketing systems via REST APIs.
  • Experience running agentic AI systems in production with real autonomy (preferred).
