Senior Security Automation & SOAR Engineer

Reference: j5buxtxv10xfhh594jf0

We are seeking a Senior Security Automation & SOAR Engineer to design, develop and maintain automated security workflows that improve the speed, consistency and quality of incident detection and response. You will work closely with security operations, threat intelligence, infrastructure and application teams to identify opportunities for automation, reduce manual effort and strengthen operational resilience. The role will involve translating security use cases into reliable, scalable playbooks and ensuring that automation supports effective investigation, containment, remediation and reporting.

Key responsibilities include developing and optimising SOAR playbooks, integrations and orchestration workflows across security tools such as SIEM, EDR, vulnerability management, identity, cloud and ticketing platforms. You will assess and improve existing processes, create reusable automation components, and establish appropriate testing, monitoring, version control and documentation practices. You will also contribute to incident response engineering, threat detection improvements, automation governance and the measurement of operational outcomes, including response times, workflow effectiveness and false-positive reduction. The role may include supporting major incidents, coaching less experienced engineers and helping define technical standards for secure automation.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in security engineering, incident response, security operations or a closely related discipline, with hands-on expertise in SOAR platforms and security tool integration. Strong programming or scripting skills in Python, PowerShell or a similar language are required, together with experience working with REST APIs, webhooks, JSON and authentication methods. You should understand SIEM, EDR, IAM, cloud security and common attack techniques, and be comfortable working with structured development and change-management practices. Excellent troubleshooting, communication and documentation skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience with cloud-native security, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, threat intelligence platforms or security data engineering would be advantageous.
