About The Position

JOIN TARGET CYBERSECURITY AS A SENIOR ENGINEER – INCIDENT RESPONSE ENGINEERING As a Senior Engineer, you serve as a specialist in the engineering team that supports the product. You help develop and gain insight into the application architecture. You can distill an abstract architecture into concrete design and influence the implementation. You show expertise in applying the appropriate software engineering patterns to build robust and scalable systems. You are an expert in programming and apply your skills in developing the product. You have the skills to design and implement solutions on your own, but choose to influence your fellow engineers by proposing software designs, providing feedback on software designs and implementation, and partnering closely with engineers and analysts to solve operational problems. You show strong problem-solving skills and can help the team triage operational issues. You leverage your expertise in eliminating repeat occurrences. We are looking for a highly skilled and self-motivated Senior Engineer to support the Incident Response Engineering team, with a primary focus on SOAR engineering, automation, integrations, workflows, and supporting data pipeline capabilities. You will help create and enhance the tooling that enables security teams to investigate, respond to, and scale operational processes more effectively. You will work closely with end users to create innovative solutions that bridge the gap between security operations needs and practical engineering outcomes, while also supporting broader Incident Response Engineering tools and platforms as business needs evolve.
