- Partner with SOC analysts and incident responders to identify manual repetitive tasks and automate them end-to-end from alert ingestion through case closure
- Build and extend AI-assisted automation (Claude/Claude Code or similar) to accelerate triage enrichment and response
- Troubleshoot monitor and maintain existing automations and integrations ensuring reliability as underlying tools and APIs change
- Document automation logic connector configurations and playbook behavior to support team continuity and knowledge transfer
- Translate manual security runbooks into automated auditable workflows
Evaluate new security tools and data sources for integration feasibility and automation potential
Qualifications
- 3-5 years of IT/security engineering experience including hands-on scripting or automation work
- Strong Python scripting ability with experience building and debugging integrations against third-party REST APIs

- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across multi-system workflows
- Excellent communication skills - able to translate analyst and IR pain points into automated solutions
