The posting

Work Flexibility: Remote

The Principal Security Automation & AI Engineer is the senior technical leader responsible for automation and AI across Cyber Defense. This role designs, builds, and operates scalable automation and AI solutions that reduce repetitive work, accelerate security operations, and allow analysts to focus on higher-value decision-making.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will write code, establish technical standards, and build the foundational patterns others use. You will determine where AI can safely improve security operations, where human oversight is required, and measure the impact of solutions in production. All automation must be reliable, auditable, secure, and appropriate for the data it handles.

Preference will be given to candidates located in Eastern or Central time zones to support effective collaboration during core business hours.

What You Will Do

Security Automation

  • Own and prioritize the Cyber Defense automation roadmap based on analyst capacity gained, risk reduction, business impact, and implementation effort.
  • Design, build, and operate automation for alert triage, enrichment, containment, case management, and notification.
  • Extend automation across vulnerability management and threat intelligence, including asset context, remediation tracking, and indicator handling.
  • Build and maintain integrations across endpoint security, detection engineering, security data platforms, asset inventory, threat intelligence, and ticketing systems.

AI & Agentic Security

  • Identify and implement high-value AI use cases across security operations, including triage, investigation summaries, detection development, and reporting.
  • Design, build, and operate AI agents and assistants using least privilege, scoped tool access, and human approval for consequential actions.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks to measure accuracy, reliability, consistency, and failure modes before and after deployment.
  • Implement safeguards against risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive agent permissions while keeping regulated data within approved environments.
  • Evaluate vendor AI capabilities against internally developed solutions and provide clear build, buy, or wait recommendations.

Engineering Excellence

  • Treat automation, detections, prompts, and AI configurations as code using version control, peer review, automated testing, CI/CD, and appropriate change controls.
  • Operate production automation with monitoring, error handling, runbooks, rollback capabilities, and ongoing performance management.
  • Partner with Security Architecture, Privacy, Legal, and IT teams to support responsible AI governance and risk management.

Technical Leadership

  • Establish engineering standards, reusable patterns, and reference architectures for security automation and AI.
  • Mentor engineers and analysts to expand safe, scalable automation capabilities across Cyber Defense.
  • Define and report measurable outcomes such as analyst hours returned, time to triage and containment, automation coverage, reliability, and error rates.
  • Translate complex automation and AI concepts, capabilities, risks, and limitations for technical teams and executive audiences.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, software engineering, automation, or related technology disciplines.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, deploying, and operating production security automation at enterprise scale.
  • Strong Python development skills with working proficiency in SQL and API integrations, including REST APIs, webhooks, authentication, and OAuth.
  • Experience building and operating production LLM-based solutions, including AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt design, tool integration, and evaluation.
  • Experience implementing controls for AI-specific security risks, including prompt injection, data leakage, excessive agency, and inappropriate access.
  • Strong understanding of SOC and incident response operations, detection engineering, and MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Experience applying software engineering practices including Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and production support.
  • Demonstrated ability to establish technical direction and deliver complex solutions across teams through influence rather than direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with enterprise SOAR and security automation platforms.
  • Hands-on experience integrating technologies such as Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, Splunk, CrowdStrike, ServiceNow, or comparable enterprise security platforms.
  • Experience with cloud and AI platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, AWS, or comparable technologies.
  • Experience designing agentic AI workflows that incorporate human-in-the-loop controls, evaluation frameworks, secure tool use, and production monitoring.
  • Knowledge of AI security and governance frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and OWASP guidance for LLM and generative AI applications.
  • Relevant cybersecurity, cloud, software engineering, or AI certifications are a plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
