You will build workflows that integrate across various security platforms, enabling automation pipelines that support AI-driven defense. This role requires understanding platform capabilities and shaping secure automation patterns that scale. | Candidates should have 1-2 years of experience in security engineering or IT automation, with proficiency in scripting languages like Python and PowerShell. A strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals and experience with enterprise platforms is essential. | Job Description Position Summary: We are hiring a Platform Engineer to join the Cybersecurity Automation & AI team. This is not a traditional automation role—you will help design and deliver the next generation of cybersecurity systems through secure, intelligent automation. You will build workflows that integrate across Microsoft Defender XDR, Sentinel, ServiceNow, and other enterprise platforms, enabling automation pipelines that support AI-driven defense and enterprise-scale risk reduction. Job Description: You’ll be working in a forward-leaning engineering function focused on transforming how cybersecurity operates—less detection, more design.

You must understand why specific workflows exist (e.g., identity verification, privilege revocation, endpoint containment), what constitutes a secure pattern, and how your automation affects broader enterprise risk posture. You won’t own the tools—but you must deeply understand how to interact with them via APIs, orchestration frameworks, and platform-native automation features. Key Responsibilities: Build and support automation workflows across security platforms such as ServiceNow, Defender XDR, and Sentinel. Learn and apply platform-native capabilities, APIs, and extensibility models to solve real-world security automation challenges. Contribute to orchestration logic that includes trigger conditions, telemetry tagging, enrichment, and response actions. Implement automation scripts and integrations using Python, PowerShell, and REST APIs. Participate in test planning, safety validation, change control, and rollback design. Document technical implementations, integration patterns, and decision logic. Collaborate with engineers and domain owners to identify automation opportunities. Apply cybersecurity understanding to ensure automation is relevant, secure, and impactful. Required Qualifications: 1–2 years of hands-on experience in security engineering, IT automation, or platform integration; candidates with strong project-based or adjacent technical experience will be considered Experience with at least one enterprise platform such as Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, or ServiceNow Proficient in scripting (Python, PowerShell) and building workflows using REST APIs Strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals (e.g., least privilege, threat response, asset visibility, risk signals) Ability to translate security goals into platform-appropriate automation Comfortable operating in a federated environment where tools are not owned directly Preferred Qualifications: Experience with ServiceNow Flow Designer or IntegrationHub Exposure to multiple cybersecurity domains such as IAM, endpoint protection, or SIEM Experience building automation in large, regulated environments Familiarity with kill switch design, governance, and rollback in automation workflows Clear documentation and collaboration skills across cross-functional engineering teams Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US and Puerto Rico Residents Only: Our company is committed to inclusion, ensuring that candidates can engage in a hiring process that exhibits their true capabilities.
