This may include integrating SIEM, EDR, IAM, cloud security, threat intelligence, ticketing, and collaboration platforms to facilitate seamless orchestration across complex security architectures.

You will also contribute to the development of automation standards, reusable frameworks, and engineering best practices while assisting clients with SOAR platform deployments, upgrades, and operational enhancements. Additionally, as a senior engineer, you will mentor junior team members, provide technical leadership on security automation initiatives, and contribute to the continued growth of the cybersecurity engineering practice. In addition to these responsibilities, you will be expected to stay current on emerging cybersecurity threats, automation technologies, cloud-native security capabilities, and evolving SOAR solutions.

You will actively participate in professional development opportunities, industry forums, technical communities, and relevant training to maintain expertise in modern security operations and automation engineering.
