About the job
Join Stellar Cyber as a Senior Security Engineer, where your expertise will be instrumental in shaping the future of autonomous security operations within our Open XDR platform. You will collaborate with a mission-driven team, merging security engineering, software development, and machine learning research to enhance real-world Security Operations Center (SOC) functions. This position transcends mere feature development; it embodies a commitment to security operations by engaging with SOC analysts to design AI agents, tools, and workflows that advance alert investigation, threat hunting, and response automation.
Note: Candidates must possess a robust background in both software engineering and security operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Gain firsthand experience of SOC practices, including alert investigation and threat hunting, to internalize the required context and identify patterns for automation and tooling.
- Develop, enhance, and maintain security-centric AI agents, tools, and workflows that facilitate alert investigation, threat hunting, and automated responses throughout the SOC lifecycle.
- Convert intricate security workflows and analyst activities into scalable automation primitives that empower autonomous SOC capabilities.
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on novel tools, integrations, and platform features informed by real operational feedback.
- Work collaboratively with product, research, and engineering teams to ensure that tools align with user needs and architectural standards.
- Effectively communicate insights and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, influencing product and operational strategies.
