Deep engineering expertise with one or more enterprise security platforms can be more valuable than surface-level exposure across a large toolset. Strong candidates will bring: * Several years of hands-on security engineering experience. * Experience deploying, administering, integrating or engineering enterprise security platforms. * Strong Python scripting and automation skills. * Experience building integrations using REST APIs or similar technologies. * Working knowledge of both Linux and Windows Server environments. * Security infrastructure and network security fundamentals. * Experience with technologies such as Splunk, Tenable/Nessus, SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, cloud security or SOAR. * Ability to troubleshoot complex platform, infrastructure and integration issues. * A genuine engineering mindset - comfortable getting under the hood of a platform rather than only working through its user interface. Why Consider It? You'll join a small, highly experienced security engineering team responsible for a substantial enterprise security technology estate. Rather than being limited to dashboards, alerting or day-to-day security operations, you'll have the opportunity to work on the architecture, infrastructure, integrations and automation behind the tools themselves. It's a strong opportunity for an experienced security engineer who wants broad technical ownership while remaining on the individual contributor track, or for a strong engineer ready to step into a more senior security tooling position. ## Description * Engineer, deploy, configure and maintain enterprise security platforms and their supporting infrastructure. * Build integrations between security tools and other enterprise systems using Python, APIs and automation. * Improve the reliability, scalability, security and performance of existing security platforms. * Administer and troubleshoot security applications running across Linux and Windows environments. * Develop scripts and automation to eliminate manual processes and improve platform efficiency. * Support platform upgrades, migrations, integrations and new security technology deployments. * Work across technologies including SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, cloud security and SOAR. * Partner with security and infrastructure teams to design solutions that integrate effectively into the wider enterprise environment. * Serve as a senior technical contributor and help establish engineering best practices across the security tooling environment. ## Related Videos - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
