Job description

  • Design, build, and maintain SOAR playbooks and Python-based automations that integrate with EDR, SIEM, ticketing, identity, network, and threat intel tools
  • Own and evolve our case and incident management application, including analyst-facing workflows and JavaScript-based UI widgets
  • Build and maintain custom API integrations, including non-standard auth schemes (e.g., HMAC request signing), pagination, and high-volume or rate-limited data sources
  • Partner with SOC analysts and incident responders to identify manual, repetitive tasks and automate them end-to-end, from alert ingestion through case closure
  • Build and extend AI-assisted automation (Claude/Claude Code or similar) to accelerate triage, enrichment, and response
  • Troubleshoot, monitor, and maintain existing automations and integrations, ensuring reliability as underlying tools and APIs change
  • Document automation logic, connector configurations, and playbook behavior to support team continuity and knowledge transfer
  • Translate manual security runbooks into automated, auditable workflows
  • Evaluate new security tools and data sources for integration feasibility and automation potential

  • 3-5 years of IT/security engineering experience, including hands-on scripting or automation work
  • Strong Python scripting ability, with experience building and debugging integrations against third-party REST APIs
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript for building or maintaining web-based UI components
  • Experience integrating disparate security tools (SIEM, EDR, ticketing/ITSM, email security, threat intel, or similar) via API
  • Comfortable using AI coding/analysis tools (Claude Code or similar) to build and maintain automation
  • Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across multi-system workflows
  • Excellent communication skills - able to translate analyst and IR pain points into automated solutions
  • Solid documentation habits for technical automation logic and integration configurations
  • Strong time management and organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience with a SOAR platform (Splunk SOAR/Phantom, Palo Alto XSOAR, Tines, or similar)
  • Experience with case or incident management application design and configuration
  • Exposure to agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph) for building AI-assisted security workflows
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Sentinel/KQL or another SIEM
  • Security certifications such as Security+, GCIH, or similar
  • Experience with enterprise security/infrastructure APIs (e.g., Microsoft Graph, Akamai EdgeGrid)
