• Comfortable using AI coding/analysis tools (Claude Code or similar) to build and maintain automation
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across multi‑system workflows
• Excellent communication skills - able to translate analyst and IR pain points into automated solutions
• Solid documentation habits for technical automation logic and integration configurations
• Strong time management and organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience with a SOAR platform (Splunk SOAR/Phantom, Palo Alto XSOAR, Tines, or similar)
