Job Description
What is the opportunity
We are looking for a
Senior
Software Developer
to join our Security Automation team, responsible for engineering and scaling our SOAR platform. This is a development-first role — you will design, build, test, and deploy automation software that powers security operations across the enterprise. The ideal candidate writes production-quality Python, thinks in APIs and data contracts, and treats infrastructure-as-code as a default.
What will you do?
Automation Software Development
- Design and develop automation playbooks, scripts, and orchestration workflows in
Python
following software engineering best practices (modularity, error handling, logging, testability)
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that adheres to team coding standards and passes peer review
Build reusable automation libraries and frameworks that reduce duplication and accelerate future development
Integration & API Development
- Develop custom integrations in Python connecting XSOAR to internal platforms, REST/GraphQL APIs, databases, and third-party security tools
Implement robust API client patterns — authentication, retry logic, pagination, rate-limiting, and schema validation
Own the data contracts between systems; design normalized data models for cross-platform incident and telemetry flows
CI/CD & DevOps Practices
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for XSOAR content delivery (linting, unit testing, integration testing, automated deployment)
Manage version control workflows in Git — branching strategies, pull request reviews, and release management for automation content
Containerize integrations using Docker; manage development and staging environments for pre-production validation
Platform Engineering & Reliability
-Administer the XSOAR platform — upgrades, performance tuning, high-availability configuration, and monitoring
Implement observability: structured logging, health checks, alerting on playbook failures, and execution metrics
Design scalable patterns for incident classification, enrichment pipelines, and response orchestration
Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives); estimate and deliver work within committed timelines
Partner with SOC analysts and detection engineers to gather requirements and validate automation outcomes
Produce technical documentation for integrations, runbooks for operational handoff, and knowledge transfer for the broader team
What do you need to succeed? Must have:
5+ years of professional software development experience in Python
Strong understanding of REST API design and consumption (authentication patterns, HTTP methods, status codes, payload serialization)
Experience with Git workflows, code review practices, and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or equivalent)
Familiarity with testing frameworks (pytest, unittest) and writing unit/integration tests as part of the development lifecycle
Working knowledge of Docker, Linux, and command-line tooling
Experience with data formats and protocols: JSON, YAML, XML, webhooks, message queues
Nice to have:
Prior experience with Cortex XSOAR (Demisto), Splunk SOAR, or similar orchestration platforms
Familiarity with security concepts: incident response workflows, MITRE ATT&CK, threat intelligence, vulnerability management
Experience with demisto-sdk or XSOAR content development framework
Experience with big data technologies — data lakes, distributed processing frameworks (Spark, Hadoop), or large-scale data pipelines (Kafka, Airflow) for ingesting and correlating high-volume security telemetry
Exposure to AI/ML concepts — working with LLMs, building AI-assisted workflows, prompt engineering, or integrating AI models into automation pipelines for tasks such as alert triage, anomaly detection, or natural language-driven investigation
Exposure to databases (SQL/NoSQL) and data pipeline tools
Background in building integrations with enterprise tools (ServiceNow, Jira, SIEM platforms, identity providers)
What’s in it for you? We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
