Our mission is to build an AI-powered Security Operations Center (AI-SOC) that enables faster, more accurate, and scalable security operations through intelligent automation. Working under a Detection-as-Code philosophy, we manage the entire detection lifecycle, including threat scenario development, log collection, detection engineering, automated response orchestration, and AI-driven threat analysis. As part of the Automation Engineering pillar, this role is responsible for designing, developing, and operating automated workflows that analyze, investigate, and respond to security threats at scale. The team builds and maintains integrations across a broad range of security platforms, develops AI Agent and LLM-based analysis capabilities for automated triage and investigation, and ensures the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of critical security automation systems in production. This position offers the opportunity to shape the future of AI-driven security operations by building the technologies that power Coupang's next-generation AI-SOC platform. What You Will Do * Design and develop normalization, enrichment, and automated triage workflows to analyze and process security detection events at scale. * Design, develop, and operate SOAR workflows that streamline and automate security operations processes. * Build and maintain integrations with security platforms and external services, including SIEM, EDR, CTI, ticketing systems, and SaaS/API-based solutions. * Develop and enhance the AI-SOC framework by creating LLM-based triage and analysis logic, confidence scoring mechanisms, and automated response orchestration capabilities. * Drive operational excellence by managing incident response for SOAR and automation systems, operating logging and monitoring infrastructure, and improving system reliability. * Design and implement automated response scenarios based on detection use cases while collaborating closely with SOC and Incident Response teams. * Analyze and optimize automation workflows by identifying performance bottlenecks and driving continuous improvements in efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Beyond Webhooks: The Future of Scalable API Event Delivery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100312-beyond-webhooks-the-future-of-scalable-api-event-delivery) - [Automated Security for the Entire SDLC](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100323-automated-security-for-the-entire-sdlc) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Building a Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine That Actually Follows the Rules](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100159-building-a-multi-agent-orchestration-engine-that-actually-follows-the-rules) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 138 - Are you secure about this?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/486-dev-digest-138-are-you-secure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 196: AI Killed DevOps, LLM Political Bias & AI Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/659-dev-digest-196-ai-killed-devops-llm-political-bias-ai-security) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [ Dev Digest 213: Petrol Prices, Agentic Workflows, AI Skills and CODE100!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/718-dev-digest-213-petrol-prices-agentic-workflows-ai-skills-and-code100) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
