Responsibilities
- Architect and develop robust, scalable custom security tools, middleware, and automation scripts that integrate isolated security platforms (e.g., Identity/Entra ID, MDM/Intune, EDR, SIEM, and SaaS apps)
- Leverage advanced API methodologies (REST, GraphQL, Webhooks) to create tool-agnostic data flows, enabling automated enforcement and telemetry sharing across the security stack
- Identify limitations in out-of-the-box vendor capabilities (such as custom mobile application management enforcement or complex access workflows) and build resilient custom software to close those gaps
- Design and develop intuitive user interfaces (UIs) and dashboards for internal security tools, ensuring they are accessible and highly usable for Security Operations and business personnel
- Build and maintain automated deployment pipelines for security controls, incident response playbooks (SOAR), and continuous monitoring workflows
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to gather requirements, translating complex security policies into automated, code-driven solutions that reduce manual overhead
- Proactively ensure all custom development meets strict information security, secure coding (SSDLC), and compliance standards (e.g., ISO, NIST, SOX, etc.)
Skills
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, security automation, or advanced DevOps, specifically focused on building internal tools or cybersecurity integrations
- Full-stack development experience, including proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or Angular) to build responsive web applications alongside backend services
- Expert-level proficiency in languages suited for API integration and automation (e.g., Python, Go, or Node.js)
- Deep, hands-on experience working with complex APIs, OAuth/OIDC authentication flows, webhooks, and building tool-agnostic integration layers
- Strong understanding of enterprise security concepts, particularly Identity & Access Management (IAM), Zero Trust, and Endpoint/Mobile Security (MAM/MDM)
- Proven experience with CI/CD release automation (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and secure system debugging
- Strong interpersonal and teaming skills - ability to set and enforce process and influence engineers who are not direct reports
