About The Position

SentinelOne is seeking a Senior Hyperautomation Engineer to design, build, and operate the automation layer that powers Wayfinder MDR. This role involves working closely with Threat Service Engineers (TSEs), SOC analysts, Threat Hunters, and R&D teams to transform manual SOC processes into scalable, reliable, and efficient automation workflows. The focus is on engineering and automation to reduce manual workload, improve signal-to-noise ratio, and enable faster and more consistent threat detection and response, rather than alert triage.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in Security Engineering, Automation Engineering, SOC Tooling, Backend Engineering, or similar technical roles.
Strong experience with Python (required); experience with SQL is highly preferred.
Experience building and operating automation workflows or backend services in production environments.
Solid understanding of SOC operations, incident response workflows, and security alert lifecycles.
Experience working with APIs, integrations, and distributed systems.
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to translate operational challenges into scalable engineering solutions.
Professional and articulate, with strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple workstreams and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain hyperautomation workflows that support alert triage, enrichment, investigation, and response.
Convert SOC playbooks, investigation logic, and threat-hunting processes into automated, production-grade workflows.
Proactively identify repetitive or high-volume SOC tasks and implement automation to improve efficiency and consistency.
Build and maintain integrations with internal platforms and third-party security tools using APIs, webhooks, and event-driven mechanisms.
Collaborate closely with Threat Service Engineers (TSEs) and SOC teams to fine-tune existing detections and automation logic.
Improve and optimize MDR operational processes to ensure fast response times and effective threat mitigation.
Own automation workflows end-to-end, including design, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
Create and maintain automation playbooks, templates, and best practices to support incident response at scale.
Work closely with R&D and product teams to provide operational feedback and help shape future detection and response capabilities.
