• Contribute to Automation & Resilience
• Assist in the design of robust automation pipelines—leveraging scripting—to reduce manual effort, enforce consistency, and support rapid incident response
• Enhance Detection & Response Posture
• Work closely with senior endpoint engineers contributing towards the detection logic & response workflows, collaborate with SIEM, SOAR, and telemetry teams to integrate and tune event ingestion, alerting, and remediation across multiple systems
• Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
• Engage in threat modeling, vendor evaluation, and platform enhancements; assist in proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for new technologies that align with evolving security and business needs. Collaborate with security and engineering teams to integrate Endpoint services and ensure security policies are effectively enforced at scale
• Develop and maintain scripts and automation to:
• Reduce manual operational effort
• Improve consistency of endpoint configurations
• Support faster remediation and response workflows
• Contribute to CI/CD or infrastructure-as-code efforts related to endpoint security services
