Compensation

USD 150,000 per year

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Python-based automations, services, and integrations to enhance detection, response, and customer experience across the security platform

• Create and refine detection and response content in the Elastic Stack, including data ingestion, parsing and normalization, detection rules, and Kibana dashboards
• Integrate security tools and data sources using REST APIs, webhooks, and SOAR playbooks
• Containerize workloads and deploy with Docker and Kubernetes following secure deployment practices
• Write tests, documentation, and runbooks for the workflows and scripts you deliver
• Collaborate with the Cybersecurity Architect to implement the platform’s reference architecture and detection standards

Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science or Cyber Security, or equivalent hands-on experience
