Our teams empower organizations across the globe to create, secure, and run applications that enhance how we experience our evolving digital world. We are passionate about cybersecurity, from protecting consumers from fraud to enabling companies to focus on innovation. \nEverything we do centers around people. That means we obsess over how to make the lives of our customers, and their customers, better. And it means we prioritize a diverse F5 community where each individual can thrive.\nThe Senior Security Engineer, AI & Automationis responsible fordesigning, reviewing, andoperatingproduction-grade automation and AI capabilities that improve the effectiveness, scalability, and reliability of Security Operations. As part of the Security Operations Platform Engineering (SOPE) team, this role develops the platforms, integrations, workflows, and agentic systems that enable Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Detection Engineering, and Threat Hunting teams tooperatemore efficiently. The ideal candidate combines strong software and automation engineering fundamentals with practical AIexperienceand the judgmentrequiredto safely deploy systems that influence security operations at scale. This role serves as a senior technical contributor responsible forestablishingtrusted, maintainable, and secure automation capabilities that other security functions depend upon.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nDesign and develop production-grade automation and AI capabilities that reduce operational toil, improve security outcomes, and scale security operations workflows across the organization.\n\nReview and approve CI/CD pipelines, automation workflows, integrations, and AI-enabled systems that interact with production security platforms, incident management processes, and operational data.\n\nBuild andmaintain API-driven integrations across security technologies, cloud services, AI platforms, and operational tooling while ensuring reliability, security, and observability.\n\nLead implementation of agentic and AI-assisted workflows that support investigation, enrichment, correlation, triage, and response activities whilemaintainingappropriate guardrails, auditability, and human oversight.\n\nEstablish and promote engineering standards for automation development, testing, code review, change management, operational safety, and platform reliability.\n\nPartner with Incident Response, Detection Engineering, Threat Intelligence, Threat Hunting, and platform engineering teams toidentifyhigh-value use cases and deliver scalable automation and AI solutions.\n\nEvaluate and recommend AI, automation, and orchestration technologies by balancing innovation, risk, maintainability, operational impact, and long-term ownership.\n\nRequired Skills / Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n8+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, security engineering, automation engineering, or related technical disciplines.\n\nAdvancedproficiencyinPython and GitLab CI/CD, including the ability to review, troubleshoot, and approve production automation pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and deployment workflows.\n\nDemonstrated experience building and supporting API-driven integrations utilizingREST APIs, OAuth/token-based authentication, pagination, rate limiting, error handling, and service-to-service communications.\n\nExperience designing, developing, oroperatingAI-assisted, agentic, or LLM-powered solutions with a demonstrated ability tovalidateoutputs,identifyfailure modes, and implementappropriate safeguards.\n\nStrong written communication skills with experience producing design documents, architecture decision records (ADRs), implementation plans, technical reviews, and collaborating effectively in asynchronous, distributed environments.\n\nPreferred Skills / Qualifications\nExperience developing AI agents and workflows using Vertex AI, Agent Development Kit (ADK),LangGraph,LangChain, Semantic Kernel,AutoGen,CrewAI, or similar frameworks.\n\nExperience with Tines, SOAR platforms, workflow orchestration systems, or large-scale security automation programs.\n\nExperience supporting Detection-as-Code, CI/CD-driven security content pipelines, or detection engineering programs.\n\nExperience implementing secure credential management, least-privilege architectures,secretsmanagement, and production-grade security controls.\n\nExperience integrating security operations platforms such as CrowdStrike, ServiceNow, cloud security services, SIEM platforms, or related enterprise security technologies.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nDelivers trusted automation and AI capabilities that are safe, reliable, auditable, and maintainable in production environments.\n\nRaises engineering quality through thoughtful code reviews, architecture reviews, pipeline governance, and automation standards.\n\nImproves operational efficiency by automating repetitive workflows and enabling security teams to focus on higher-value investigative work.\n\nEnables SOPE and partner teams tobuild onshared automation and AI platforms rather than creating isolated point solutions.\n\nAdvances AI adoption through measurable operational improvements whilemaintainingstrong controls, transparency, and trust in automated decision-making.\n\nWork Environment\nThis is a full-time engineering role and is not a shift-based position.Participation in an engineering on-call rotation isrequiredand may occasionally require support outside normal business hours during critical incidents, platform outages, or significant operational events. The Senior Security Engineer may be engaged as a subject matter expert during security incidents but is not responsible for primary SOC operations or incident response functions.\nAdditional Notes\nThis role is focused onplatform engineering, automation, and AI enablement, not SOC operations or detection authoring. Experience as a SOC analyst is notrequired. Success in this role requiresstrong systemdesign skills, production engineering judgment, and the ability to review and safelyoperateautomation and AI systems that directlyimpactsecurity operations workflows and security platforms.\nThe Job Description is intended to be a general representation of the responsibilities and requirements of the job.
