About The Position

This role primarily assists in the planning, design, development, deployment, administration, and operational support of enterprise security automations and custom security tools. This includes Python-based automations, internal web applications, APIs, SDKs, scripts, dashboards, command-line utilities, and system integrations. The role also involves developing automated workflows for alert enrichment, triage, incident response, case management, notifications, containment, escalation, and reporting. Additionally, it includes creating custom tools to aid in CVE vetting, vulnerability enrichment, prioritization, tracking, and security decision support. Secondarily, the role assists in the planning, design, deployment, and operational support of a broad range of security platforms such as DSPM, ASM, IAM, vulnerability management, email security, endpoint security, SIEM, XDR, SOAR, logging, monitoring, network security, and cloud security. Integrations with ticketing, case management, notification, identity, data sources, APIs, SDKs, and other enterprise systems are also part of the responsibilities, along with support for technologies like Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, Tenable, Cribl, and WhatsUp Gold.

Requirements

Broad hands-on security engineering experience supporting multiple cybersecurity technologies, systems, integrations, and operational functions.
Experience developing security automations, scripts, integrations, utilities, and custom tools using Python.
Strong experience troubleshooting complex technical issues across applications, security platforms, operating systems, networks, identity services, and integrations.
Linux system deployment, configuration, patching, scripting, service management, monitoring, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management.
Experience developing automation and response workflows using Python, PowerShell, Bash, REST APIs, JSON, YAML, and vendor SDKs.
Experience supporting IAM, DSPM, ASM, vulnerability management, email security, endpoint security, SIEM, SOAR, logging, monitoring, cloud security, and other enterprise security technologies.
Strong understanding of enterprise security architecture, incident response, networking, access control, secure software development, systems administration, and industry-standard cybersecurity frameworks.
Bachelor's degree in an information technology, computer science, software engineering, or information security related field.
Eight years of relevant work experience (experience may be substituted in lieu of education).
Five years of experience in supporting large IT environments, security systems, and software development.
