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 accelerate security response capabilities. You will develop SOAR playbooks, custom services, and multi-step autonomous workflows that automate enrichment, correlation, and containment across the security stack. Collaborating with Detection Engineering, you will transform detection rules into automated actions while building enterprise-scale APIs and connectors for identity providers, endpoint platforms, and ticketing systems. The role requires advanced proficiency in Python, experience with SOAR platforms like Splunk SOAR or Tines, and expertise in agentic AI technologies including prompt engineering and context engineering. You will solve the critical challenge of bridging the gap between detection and containment by creating machine-speed response actions to reduce mean-time-to-respond during live security incidents.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain automation systems including SOAR playbooks, custom services, and agentic AI workflows for security operations.
  • Engineer enterprise-grade APIs and connectors to provide machine-speed enrichment and correlation across the security stack.
  • Develop and verify automated response actions for containment and identity-related incidents during live security events.
  • Build and deploy multi-step autonomous agentic AI systems using context engineering and orchestration.
  • Integrate automation with internal tools such as identity providers, EDR platforms, and ticketing systems via REST APIs.
  • Create and maintain policy-enforcement automation to ensure consistent execution of access and control decisions.
  • Triage production issues for automation systems and track metrics for reliability and coverage.
  • Contribute to Detection-as-Code standards and document all automation logic for team-wide ownership.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in security engineering, software engineering, or security automation with a track record of shipping production-grade code.
  • Proven experience designing, building, and operating enterprise-scale APIs, services, or orchestration systems.
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining SOAR playbooks using Python to create custom actions and connectors.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python or a comparable language for production automation development.
  • Demonstrated experience building or deploying agentic AI systems including prompt engineering and multi-step autonomous workflows.
  • Practical understanding of incident response, security investigation workflows, and integrating tools via REST APIs.
  • Experience with identity/access systems (e.g., Okta, Entra ID) for containment actions (preferred).
  • Proficiency in more than one scripting or development language such as PowerShell, Bash, or Go (preferred).
