Security Automation 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. 

 

About The Role :  

 We are looking for a highly skilled Security Automation Engineer to join our R&D team and help us build the future of Agentic SOC investigations.

This is a unique, hybrid role designed for a SOC expert with a developer's mindset.

You will serve as the primary domain expert, guiding our AI agents, bridging the gap between complex security investigation methodologies and cutting-edge AI development.

 

What You’ll Do :  

• Define and build the reasoning behind our AI agents - translating complex incident response playbooks into autonomous, agentic workflows
• Conduct "Analyst vs. Agent" investigations to validate the accuracy, depth, and speed of our product
• Work within the R&D group to develop integrations and core agent logic, leveraging AI-first tools like Codex, Claude, and LLM orchestration frameworks
• Build and maintain deep integrations with SOC ecosystems, including SIEMs (Sentinel, Splunk), EDRs (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne), and cloud providers
• Act as the internal Voice of the Customer - identifying gaps in SOC workflows and proposing AI-driven solutions

 

What You’ll Need :  

• 3+ years of experience as a SOC Analyst (Tier 2/3) or Incident Responder, with a deep understanding of end-to-end security investigations
• Strong hands-on coding experience, preferably Python - comfortable writing clean code, working with APIs, and contributing to a production codebase
• Experience working with LLMs and AI productivity tools (Codex, Claude, ChatGPT) and understanding how to leverage AI to solve security problems
• Proficiency with security platforms (SIEM, EDR, SOAR) and a solid understanding of the modern security stack
• Builder mentality - you enjoy turning manual, messy processes into elegant, automated solutions
• Strong communication skills - ability to translate complex security concepts into technical requirements for software engineers

 

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 🚀. 

 

Our Commitment: 

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. 

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
