## Description

As a Senior Hyperautomation Engineer, you will be tasked with designing, building, and operating the automation layer that powers Wayfinder MDR. You will work closely with Threat Service Engineers (TSEs), SOC analysts, Threat Hunters, and R&D teams to transform manual SOC processes into scalable, reliable, and efficient automation workflows.

This role focuses on engineering and automation, not alert triage. You will help shape how MDR operates at scale by reducing manual workload, improving signal-to-noise ratio, and enabling faster and more consistent threat detection and response., * Design, develop, and maintain hyperautomation workflows that support alert triage, enrichment, investigation, and response.

 * Convert SOC playbooks, investigation logic, and threat-hunting processes into automated, production-grade workflows.
 * Proactively identify repetitive or high-volume SOC tasks and implement automation to improve efficiency and consistency.
 * Build and maintain integrations with internal platforms and third-party security tools using APIs, webhooks, and event-driven mechanisms.
 * Collaborate closely with Threat Service Engineers (TSEs) and SOC teams to fine-tune existing detections and automation logic.
 * Improve and optimize MDR operational processes to ensure fast response times and effective threat mitigation.
 * Own automation workflows end-to-end, including design, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
 * Create and maintain automation playbooks, templates, and best practices to support incident response at scale.
 * Work closely with R&D and product teams to provide operational feedback and help shape future detection and response capabilities.
