Senior SOAR Engineer

About this role

The Opportunity

Detection & Automation Engineering operates Adobe's detection and response backbone, closing the gap between detection and containment.

As a Senior SOAR Engineer, you'll build, develop, and maintain production automation playbooks that reduce mean-time-to-respond. You'll collaborate with Detection Engineering to transform new detection rules into effective response actions. You'll also assist CSIRT/SOC Operations with enrichment and correlation logic. And you'll deliver Incident Response containment playbooks for live incidents. Join us if you're ready to make a world-class impact!

What you'll Do

• Build, develop, and maintain SOAR playbooks that automate enrichment, correlation, and containment across the security stack. • Work alongside Detection Engineering for every new detection rule that calls for a response action. They outline the logic, and you build and verify the automation. • Support CSIRT/SOC Operations by adjusting automation related to data enrichment and event association. This reduces analyst triage time and improves signal quality. • Own containment and remediation automation for Incident Response, including identity- and access-related response actions used during live incidents. • Build and maintain policy-enforcement automation, ensuring upstream access and control decisions complete reliably, without gaps. • Integrate SOAR with ecosystem tooling — identity providers, endpoint/EDR, ticketing systems — using built-in apps and REST APIs, or custom connectors when they don't exist. • Triage production playbook issues as an operational priority, and track metrics for automation coverage, reliability, and time-to-remediate. • Assist in Detection-as-Code integration following Detection Engineering's current standards, and record playbook logic for collective team ownership. • Actively find ways to integrate AI into day-to-day work — playbook development, script writing, enrichment logic, triage, incident summarization, testing, and documentation.

What you need to succeed

Required: • 7+ years in security engineering, security automation, or a closely related field. • Hands-on experience building and maintaining SOAR playbooks (Splunk SOAR, Tines, XSOAR, etc.). • Advanced proficiency in Python (or comparable scripting language) for custom actions, connectors, and playbook logic. • Practical understanding of incident response and SOC triage workflows. • Experience connecting SOAR with detection/SIEM platforms (Splunk or similar), identity/access solutions, and ticketing/case management systems through REST APIs. • Ability to work independently on unstructured problems, making defensible, risk-based decisions on containment/response logic. • Strong written and verbal communication. You'll detail playbook reasoning for engineers and explain the same tradeoffs to non-technical collaborators. • Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor), and judgment on when they help.

Preferred: • Experience with identity/access systems (e.g., Okta, Entra ID) for containment tasks such as session revocation or account disabling. • Comfort with both low-code playbook building and pro-code extensions, writing custom Python when built-in logic isn't enough. • Experience with event-driven architectures and webhook-based integrations, beyond standard polling REST calls. • Proficiency in more than one scripting or development language (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Go) beyond Python. • A track record of pushing AI tooling beyond baseline usage — custom prompts, agents, or workflows for playbook and script work. • Familiarity with Detection-as-Code practices and CI/CD for security content. • Experience mentoring other engineers or serving as a technical point of contact for automation work. • Background supporting compliance-relevant controls where automation failures have audit implications. • Relevant certifications (e.g., Splunk SOAR Certified Automation Developer, GCIH, CISSP) a plus but not required.
