The Position

The AI Security Automation Engineer designs, builds, and operates AI-enabled automation across Cybersecurity Operations. The role converts manual, repetitive, and data-heavy security processes into governed workflows and agentic systems with clear controls, auditability, metrics, and human approval where required.

This role remains security-first: automation must strengthen control effectiveness, reduce cycle time, improve evidence quality, and support faster detection and response without weakening governance, privacy, or accountability.

Develop and maintain SOAR and security automation playbooks for alert enrichment, triage, correlation, evidence capture, case creation, notifications, response recommendations, and remediation tracking.
Automate security controls, KCI calculations, evidence collection, validation, testing support, exception handling, and management reporting across the security control framework.
Streamline selected GRC workflows, including ISQ, TPSR, evidence collection, control mapping, risk flagging, exception routing, SLA tracking, and audit trails.
Integrate SIEM, SOAR, EDR, identity, vulnerability, cloud security, ticketing system, data platforms, APIs, and collaboration tools into end-to-end security workflows.
Performing other tasks as assigned by Direct Supervisor.

What We Need From You

3+ years of experience in cybersecurity, SecOps engineering, security automation, platform engineering, GRC engineering, or a related role.
Demonstrated experience building production-grade security workflows, integrations, or automation.
Hands-on programming experience with Python or a similar language, REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, SQL, authentication, data transformation, and error handling.
Experience with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, case-management, ticketing, GRC, or comparable security platforms.
