Security Automation Engineer (SOAR)

About Nebius: Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure. Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI. Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D. The role We are looking for a skilled Security Automation Engineer to join our SOC Automation team and play a key role in building and scaling automation across Security Operations. This is a hands-on role — you will design, develop, and integrate automation solutions across SIEM, EDR, and other security platforms, contributing to our SOAR capabilities from the ground up. You will work in a technologically rich environment, integrating with a wide range of security and infrastructure systems across the network — a unique opportunity to build automation at scale in a greenfield setting, with real influence over the architecture and tooling decisions. We are especially interested in candidates who are curious about leveraging AI and intelligent agents to help evolve next-generation automation and response workflows — and who want to be a driving voice in how we apply those technologies. Your responsibilities will include: Automation development Design and develop automation workflows for incident response and SOC operations Identify and eliminate manual processes through scalable automation Build reusable components and maintainable automation patterns Engineering & integration Develop integrations using REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven architectures Write high-quality, maintainable Python for automation and orchestration Implement data parsing, enrichment, and transformation across multiple systems SOAR & platform buildout Lead or actively contribute to the evaluation, selection, and implementation of SOAR/automation platforms Design the automation architecture and integration strategy for the team Build automation capabilities in a greenfield environment — your decisions will shape the foundation SOC collaboration Work closely with SOC analysts and incident responders to translate operational needs into automation solutions Improve end-to-end detection and response workflows through close partnership with the team AI & innovation Actively build and evaluate AI/LLM and agent-based workflows applied to security automation Prototype AI-assisted enrichment, triage, and response solutions and drive them toward production We expect you to have: Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with SOAR platforms (e.g., Torq, Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, or similar) Strong hands-on experience with Python (or a comparable language) Experience designing or implementing automation frameworks or workflows Experience building integrations using REST APIs and web services Experience working with security tools such as SIEM, EDR/XDR, or ticketing systems Experience with at least one cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP) Solid understanding of incident response processes and SOC alert-handling workflows Experience with at least one SIEM platform (Splunk,Sentinel,Qradar,Crowdstrike) It will be an added bonus if you have: Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices Familiarity with cloud-native services and architecture Hands-on exposure to AI/ML, LLMs, or agent-based systems Has a strong hands-on engineering mindset — you build, not just advise Is proactive, solution-oriented, and detail-focused Is genuinely curious about AI and intelligent agents, not just aware of them Collaborates well with both tech…
