Cyber Security Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and implement automated security workflows that connect tools across detection, response, and remediation pipelines.
• Build integrations between SIEM/SOAR platforms, case management systems (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira, etc.), and internal APIs to enable automated ticketing, enrichment, and escalation.
• Engineer SOAR playbooks to automate repetitive SOC tasks (e.g., IOC lookups, containment, notifications).
• Integrate external threat feeds and CVE databases with internal asset inventories to support proactive vulnerability detection and patch prioritization.
• Improve existing scripts, enrichment logic, and event correlation rules to reduce false positives and increase automation coverage.
• Support the development of monitoring infrastructure (e.g., Fluentd, OpenTelemetry pipelines) with a security context.
• Collaborate with DevOps, system owners, and analysts to ensure tooling is effective, resilient, and context-aware.
• Ensure all automation aligns with internal policy and frameworks such as IT-Grundschutz, ISO 27001:2022, and C5:2022.
• Provide engineering support during security incidents to build ad hoc response tooling or log aggregations and act as Tier 2 support for Cyber Security Analysts, including support of on-call duties, where necessary.
• Ensure accuracy and continual improvement of related documentation, where applicable.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, or related technical field; equivalent experience also accepted.
• Strong development/scripting experience with Python, Go, or Bash.
• Experience designing and maintaining integrations between security platforms (SIEM, SOAR, threat intelligence platforms, ticketing systems).
• Familiarity with SOAR tools such as Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, Tines, TheHive/Cortex, or similar.
• Experience with cloud-native environments (e.g., Azure, AWS, or GCP), including APIs and identity models.
• Strong knowledge of containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and securing them.
• Understanding of vulnerability management processes, CVE/CVSS standards, and real-world patching challenges.
• Ability to build RESTful API integrations and data pipelines for security use cases.
• 3–5 years in a cyber security engineering or DevSecOps role.
• Experience working in or supporting a SOC.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), GitOps pipelines, and securing CI/CD workflows.
• Exposure to regulated environments (IT-Grundschutz, C5, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, TISAX, KRITIS, etc.).
