Security Engineer (AI & SOC)

Conifers is transforming security operations centers (SOCs) with CognitiveSOC™, its AI SOC platform, enabling enterprises and MSSPs to achieve SOC excellence. 

By leveraging agentic AI, Conifers helps security teams investigate complex, multi-tier incidents with speed, accuracy, and trust.  

Led by seasoned cybersecurity leaders and backed by SYN Ventures, PICUS Capital, and others, the company brings deep industry knowledge and innovation to an increasingly AI-driven threat landscape. 

We’re building an AI-native security platform that enables autonomous agents to investigate real-world threats at a massive scale. 

 

We are looking for a Security Engineer (AI & SOC) to join Conifers.ai.

This is a hands-on technical role for someone with SOC/security operations experience who is excited to turn real-world security knowledge into AI-driven product capabilities.

This role combines SOC expertise, Python development, automation, integrations, and AI agents. You will help build investigation workflows, connect to security tools and data sources, and translate how SOC teams actually work into smart, scalable product capabilities.

You don’t need to be a senior engineer. Still, you should bring strong hands-on experience with security investigations, ideally Tier 2 / Tier 3, along with the technical ability and curiosity to build, automate, and work closely with R&D and Product.

 

What You’ll Do :  

• Help build AI agents and automation workflows for cybersecurity use cases.
• Translate SOC investigation processes into product logic, workflows, and technical capabilities.
• Define how AI agents should reason through alerts, use relevant data sources, and support security teams in real customer environments.
• Write code in Python and work with APIs to build automations and integrations.
• Integrate with security tools such as SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and other cyber platforms.
• Work with customer data, identify repeated patterns, and suggest ways to improve or automate existing processes.
• Collaborate closely with R&D and Product to bring real-world SOC knowledge into the product development process.
• Help ensure that the product is practical, accurate, and valuable for SOC teams.

 

What You’ll Need :  

• Hands-on experience in SOC / Security Operations.
• Experience investigating security incidents, ideally at the Tier 2 / Tier 3 level.
• Good understanding of how SOC teams operate in practice, including investigation flows, alert triage, escalation processes, and common pain points.
• Technical experience with Python.
• Experience working with APIs, automation, integrations, or scripting.
• Familiarity with security tools such as SIEM, EDR, SOAR, ticketing systems, threat intelligence tools, or similar platforms.
• Ability to connect security knowledge with technical implementation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity about AI, automation, and how they can improve security operations.
• Comfortable working closely with engineering and product teams in a fast-moving startup environment.

 

If this role resonates with you and you’re excited about shaping how modern SOCs really work, this is your opportunity to join Conifers and build something that truly matters 🚀.
