Senior Security Automation Engineer
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Security Automation Engineer to design, build, and scale enterprise-grade security automation that reduces manual effort, suppresses operational noise, and accelerates cyber defense outcomes.
This role is focused on hands-on automation engineering across identity, endpoint, cloud, network, and data security domains. The successful candidate will deliver safe, auditable, and production-ready automation workflows that integrate across security platforms and enterprise systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Security Automation Engineering
- Design and implement security automation workflows that reduce manual intervention across multiple security domains.
- Build integrations using APIs and services to execute guardrail-enforced security actions.
- Develop automation that operationalizes detection, enrichment, suppression, containment, and response workflows.
- Extend automation into enterprise workflow systems where orchestration, approvals, or human-in-the-loop controls are required.
- Safety, Observability & Reliability
- Implement robust safety controls, including:
- Kill switches
- Dry-run and test modes
- Time-limited actions
- Staged deployments (development, testing, production)
- Ensure observability and auditability by logging automation actions with appropriate correlation identifiers.
- Design automation that is explainable, transparent, and safe to operate at scale.
- Platform Integration & Reuse
- Create reusable automation patterns, connectors, and frameworks that scale across teams and security domains.
- Collaborate with security engineers, platform engineers, and data scientists to deliver integrated solutions.
- Mentor junior engineers and promote best practices for secure, scalable automation.
- Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 6+ years of experience in security engineering or security automation roles.
- Proven experience building and operating production-grade automation systems.
- Proficiency in scripting or programming languages such as Python or PowerShell.
- Strong understanding of:
- Security operations workflows
- Alert enrichment and suppression techniques
- Containment and response patterns
- Experience working with APIs, services, and distributed systems.
- Demonstrated ability to design automation that is safe, explainable, and auditable.
- Preferred Qualifications
- Experience integrating automation across IAM, endpoint, cloud, network, and data security platforms.
- Familiarity with workflow or orchestration platforms (e.g., ITSM systems, ticketing tools, orchestration engines).
- Experience designing rollback mechanisms, time-to-live (TTL), and staged enforcement models.
- Exposure to AI-assisted workflows where automation consumes decision or recommendation outputs.
- Experience building dashboards, metrics, or reporting to measure automation outcomes.
- What Success Looks Like
- Delivery of production-ready automation that measurably reduces analyst workload.
- Effective suppression of alert and ticket noise through scalable automation patterns.
- Reusable automation frameworks adopted across multiple security domains.
- Automation actions that are trusted due to strong safety controls, logging, and transparency.
- Recognition as a senior engineer who enables secure, enterprise-safe automation at scale.
