As a Senior Endpoint Software Engineer, you develop, deploy, and operate automation, tools, and internal solutions that address the evolving threat landscape, working closely with architects, senior engineers, product managers, and partner teams. The projects you take on range from building solutions from scratch to automating processes around existing vendor solutions, giving you broad exposure across development, security, and operational work.

• Work closely with security engineers to contribute toward detection logic and response workflows, collaborating with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR), and telemetry teams to integrate and tune event ingestion, alerting, and remediation across multiple systems.

• Develop and maintain scripts and automation in Python to reduce manual operational effort, improve consistency of endpoint configurations, and support faster remediation and response workflows.

• Contribute to Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), infrastructure-as-code, and configuration-as-code efforts related to endpoint security services.

• Partner with Product Management throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial design and vendor selection to implementation and ongoing operations, ensuring projects are delivered on time and with high quality.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for security services, policies, and procedures.

• Stay current with the latest threats and technologies in the cloud security and endpoint security landscape, actively seeking opportunities to innovate and improve our security posture.
