people the opportunity to hone current skills and build new capabilities, while discovering their

genius. This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week.

Role Overview And Core Responsibilities

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and maintain security response automations on our agentic AI SOC platform, and help lead the migration of existing Splunk SOAR playbooks
• Build agentic workflows end to end: prompt and agent design, tool integration,
• guardrails, output evaluation, and human-in-the-loop review for AI-driven triage and response
• Develop and maintain integrations across the security stack (SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence, case management, ITSM) using REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven patterns
• Build internal tools, services, and APIs, primarily in Python, that extend platform capability and reduce analyst toil
• Administer and improve the case management platform and its workflows
• Partner with detection engineering to operationalize new detections into automated response
• Contribute to shared engineering standards: Git-based workflows, code review, testing, and CI/CD
• Measure what you build: automation throughput, MTTR, false-positive burden, and analyst time saved
• Write clear documentation and runbooks; collaborate effectively across a global, distributed team

Required Knowledge And Experiences

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years in security engineering, security automation, or software engineering with a strong security focus
• Strong Python in production settings, with solid command of REST
• APIs, JSON, webhooks, and authentication patterns (OAuth, API keys, secrets handling)
• Hands-on experience with SOAR or security automation platforms
• (Splunk SOAR, XSOAR, Tines, Torq, or similar)
• Experience building with modern LLM platforms (Anthropic Claude,
• OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, or similar): using APIs, SDKs, and tool-use patterns to build tools, integrations, and agents, with practical prompt and agent design and evaluation of model output for reliability and safety
• Software engineering fundamentals: Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD
• Working knowledge of SOC operations and incident response workflows; familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK
• Strong documentation habits and written communication; effective in a distributed global team

We'd Love to See:

• Experience with agentic AI security platforms, or building autonomous
• or semi-autonomous agent systems in production
• Fine-tuning, systematic evaluation (evals), or red-teaming of LLMs
• Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor,
• Copilot) as part of a disciplined engineering workflow
• Splunk Enterprise Security exposure (SPL, detection logic) or detec‐
• tion-as-code experience
• Case management or ITSM platform experience (ServiceNow or
• similar)
• Web service development (FastAPI, Flask, or similar); front-end expo‐
• sure a plus
• AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform; DevOps background
• Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical workstreams
