Job Summary
What You’ll Do:
📍Build the "Glue" & Integration Layer (Priority #1): Engineer the integration layer that connects our diverse security stack (SIEM, Cloud, IAM, AppSec, GRC). You will design the API connectors and data pipelines that allow disparate tools to speak one common language. 📍Hyper-Automate Operations: Take ownership of our automation strategy. You will work directly with security engineers to turn manual, repetitive processes into instant, resilient, one-click workflows using modern automation platforms (e.g., Tines, Torq) or scripting (e.g., Python). 📍Master Security Data & Metrics: You will be the architect of our "Security Truth." You will build the systems that collect, normalize, and visualize data to track the health, efficacy, and ROI of our program. You turn raw logs into actionable KPIs that prove our speed and coverage. 📍Lead the AI Acceleration: Once the pipes are built, you will design and deploy custom AI agents and use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to supercharge our workflows. You will build the infrastructure where AI agents assist with operational loads, freeing humans to focus on creative engineering. 📍Engineer Reusable Building Blocks: Create modular functions and self-service workflows that other security teams can use. You aren't just fishing for them; you are building better fishing rods. 📍Be the Cross-Domain Enabler: Act as the technical bridge. You will dive into challenges across Cyber Defense, Cloud Security, and Risk Management to understand their pain points and engineer the automated solutions that solve them.
What You Bring:
📍Hands-on Security Engineering Experience: You have "lived and breathed" security. Whether in a SOC, Incident Response, or Security Engineering role, you have used these tools day-to-day. You understand the pain of manual work and the context of security alerts. 📍The "Builder" Mindset: You are a problem solver who builds solutions. You don't need to be a software developer by trade, but you must be comfortable stiching things together—whether via code, low-code platforms, or API integrations—to create value quickly. 📍Data & Metrics Fluency: You understand that data is the lifeblood of automation. You know how to structure data, query it, and visualize it to tell a story. You can distinguish between a vanity metric and a real KPI. Automation & Orchestration Skills: You have experience connecting systems. You are comfortable working with REST APIs, handling JSON, and building logic flows (Loops, If/Else) in SOAR platforms or scripts.
