This role designs, builds, and operates scalable automation and AI solutions that reduce repetitive work, accelerate security operations, and allow analysts to focus on higher-value decision-making.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role. You will write code, establish technical standards, and build the foundational patterns others use. You will determine where AI can safely improve security operations, where human oversight is required, and measure the impact of solutions in production. All automation must be reliable, auditable, secure, and appropriate for the data it handles.\nPreference will be given to candidates located in Eastern or Central time zones to support effective collaboration during core business hours.\nWhat You Will Do\nSecurity Automation\nOwn and prioritize the Cyber Defense automation roadmap based on analyst capacity gained, risk reduction, business impact, and implementation effort.\nDesign, build, and operate automation for alert triage, enrichment, containment, case management, and notification.\nExtend automation across vulnerability management and threat intelligence, including asset context, remediation tracking, and indicator handling.\nBuild and maintain integrations across endpoint security, detection engineering, security data platforms, asset inventory, threat intelligence, and ticketing systems.\nAI & Agentic Security\nIdentify and implement high-value AI use cases across security operations, including triage, investigation summaries, detection development, and reporting.\nDesign, build, and operate AI agents and assistants using least privilege, scoped tool access, and human approval for consequential actions.\nDevelop evaluation frameworks to measure accuracy, reliability, consistency, and failure modes before and after deployment.\nImplement safeguards against risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive agent permissions while keeping regulated data within approved environments.\nEvaluate vendor AI capabilities against internally developed solutions and provide clear build, buy, or wait recommendations.\nEngineering Excellence\nTreat automation, detections, prompts, and AI configurations as code using version control, peer review, automated testing, CI/CD, and appropriate change controls.\nOperate production automation with monitoring, error handling, runbooks, rollback capabilities, and ongoing performance management.\nPartner with Security Architecture, Privacy, Legal, and IT teams to support responsible AI governance and risk management.\nTechnical Leadership\nEstablish engineering standards, reusable patterns, and reference architectures for security automation and AI.\nMentor engineers and analysts to expand safe, scalable automation capabilities across Cyber Defense.\nDefine and report measurable outcomes such as analyst hours returned, time to triage and containment, automation coverage, reliability, and error rates.\nTranslate complex automation and AI concepts, capabilities, risks, and limitations for technical teams and executive audiences.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.\n8+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, software engineering, automation, or related technology disciplines.\nDemonstrated experience designing, deploying, and operating production security automation at enterprise scale.\nStrong Python development skills with working proficiency in SQL and API integrations, including REST APIs, webhooks, authentication, and OAuth.\nExperience building and operating production LLM-based solutions, including AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt design, tool integration, and evaluation.\nExperience implementing controls for AI-specific security risks, including prompt injection, data leakage, excessive agency, and inappropriate access.\nStrong understanding of SOC and incident response operations, detection engineering, and MITRE ATT&CK.\nExperience applying software engineering practices including Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and production support.\nDemonstrated ability to establish technical direction and deliver complex solutions across teams through influence rather than direct authority.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with enterprise SOAR and security automation platforms.\nHands-on experience integrating technologies such as Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, Splunk, CrowdStrike, ServiceNow, or comparable enterprise security platforms.\nExperience with cloud and AI platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, AWS, or comparable technologies.\nExperience designing agentic AI workflows that incorporate human-in-the-loop controls, evaluation frameworks, secure tool use, and production monitoring.\nKnowledge of AI security and governance frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and OWASP guidance for LLM and generative AI applications.\nRelevant cybersecurity, cloud, software engineering, or AI certifications are a plus.\nMust be legally authorized to work in the U.S. and not require employment-based sponsorship now or in the future.\nUnited States of America Pay Ranges:\nUSN: $135,600 -
