Cybersecurity Automation Architect in New York at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Cybersecurity Automation Architect based in United States.

This is a senior technical leadership role focused on designing and delivering enterprise-scale cybersecurity automation and orchestration solutions.
You’ll transform repetitive, resource-intensive security processes into scalable, resilient, and maintainable automated workflows.
The role combines hands-on engineering with solution architecture, requiring you to design, develop, integrate, troubleshoot, and continuously improve complex automation capabilities.
You’ll collaborate across cybersecurity and enterprise teams to identify operational challenges and turn security requirements into reusable technical solutions.
A key focus will be the responsible use of AI and agentic technologies, with appropriate security, validation, observability, and human oversight.
You’ll also influence engineering standards, mentor technical teams, and help establish reusable patterns that accelerate future automation initiatives.
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced cybersecurity or automation professional who enjoys solving complex problems and working with emerging technologies.

• Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to identify operational pain points, technical requirements, and opportunities to automate or streamline security processes.
• Design enterprise cybersecurity automation solutions encompassing workflows, integrations, APIs, services, data flows, and AI-enabled capabilities within established architecture and governance standards.
• Develop and promote reusable automation patterns, frameworks, connectors, and development standards in partnership with cybersecurity and enterprise architecture teams.
• Design, build, enhance, and maintain automated workflows that reduce manual effort, improve operational efficiency, and enable security teams to focus on higher-value activities such as threat hunting, detection engineering, and incident response.
• Design integrations between cybersecurity platforms and enterprise technologies using REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, messaging systems, and other integration approaches.
• Evaluate tradeoffs between custom development, low-code/no-code orchestration, platform-native automation, and AI or agentic solutions.
• Design and implement AI-enabled and agentic automation with appropriate permissions, validation, observability, security boundaries, human-in-the-loop controls, and responsible AI practices.
• Provide technical leadership across the full solution lifecycle, including requirements analysis, architecture and design, development, testing, deployment, documentation, monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
• Perform hands-on development and debugging of complex workflows, scripts, integrations, APIs, services, and supporting infrastructure.
• Conduct design and code reviews to ensure solutions meet cybersecurity, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and operational requirements.
• Mentor and support developers and engineers through technical guidance, troubleshooting, training, design reviews, and development best practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, with additional professional experience considered in lieu of a degree.
• 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, software development, automation engineering, security engineering, solution design, or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale automation, orchestration, integration, or cybersecurity solutions.
• Strong programming and scripting capabilities, with Python experience preferred, as well as experience working with REST APIs, webhooks, authentication mechanisms, and application integration patterns.
• Experience with low-code or visual workflow platforms such as Tines, Operations Orchestration, Appian, Salesforce Visual Flow, ServiceNow AppEngine, Zoho, Node-RED, or similar technologies.
• Experience applying AI within development workflows and designing user-facing or backend AI agents for reliable solutions to non-deterministic problems.
• Understanding of AI and agentic-system design considerations, including permissions, data access, validation, observability, security boundaries, and human oversight.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across code, APIs, integrations, workflows, and complex technical environments.
• Ability to translate high-level business or cybersecurity objectives into technical requirements, solution designs, implementation plans, and reusable architectures.
• Experience creating and maintaining technical, workflow, integration, and operational documentation, using Jira or similar work-management tools and version-controlled code repositories.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to independently break down complex objectives, identify dependencies, evaluate alternatives, and execute effective technical plans.
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, and collaborative communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with cybersecurity automation across SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, identity and access management, vulnerability management, cloud security, threat intelligence, incident response, or security data platforms is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with Tines, event-driven and asynchronous automation, secure software development, CI/CD, DevSecOps, infrastructure-as-code, and technologies such as Go, C#, .NET, JavaScript, PowerShell, AWS, Azure, SQL, Ansible, Jenkins, Git, and Docker is a plus.
• Experience developing reusable connectors, services, libraries, or integration frameworks, as well as knowledge of identity, authentication, authorization, secrets management, and service-to-service security, is preferred.
• Previous experience in a cybersecurity environment, particularly a SOC or SOC-adjacent team, technical leadership, developer mentoring, engineering standards, or UI/UX design is advantageous.

• Base salary: $103,500–$181,100 annually.
• Medical coverage: Comprehensive medical insurance.
• Dental and vision: Dental and vision benefits for eligible employees.
• Retirement: 401(k) plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
• Insurance: Life insurance and other employee protection benefits.
• Paid time off: PTO and paid holidays.
• Flexible schedules: Flexible work arrangements designed to support different lifestyles and work needs.
• Remote work: Full-time remote position open to candidates across the United States.
• Career growth: Opportunities to take on technically challenging projects, develop expertise, and contribute to innovative cybersecurity solutions.
• Collaborative environment: A culture focused on teamwork, innovation, professional development, and employee wellbeing.
• Security clearance: No security clearance is required for this position.
