• Develop and automate indicator-processing and decision workflows, including confidence scoring, contextual enrichment, data-quality criteria, analyst validation, and downstream detection and investigative processes.
• Configure and maintain TIP libraries, statuses, task objects, tagging, dashboards, metrics, and workflow logic to support governed intelligence processes, operational visibility, and measurable outcomes.
• Develop APIs, scripts, connectors, and automation components to integrate CTI platforms with SIEM, SOAR, XDR, threat hunting, detection, and other security technologies.
• Partner with CTI analysts and operational teams to identify manual processes, workflow bottlenecks, data-quality issues, and automation opportunities and implement scalable, sustainable technical solutions.
• Collaborate with enterprise architecture, infrastructure, security operations, and risk partners to incorporate threat intelligence into security-engineering decisions and align CTI technology capabilities with enterprise security priorities.
• Establish and apply technical and engineering practices for TIP configuration, development, integrations, testing, release management, documentation, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and ongoing supportability.
• Create technical documentation, solution designs, runbooks, and technology roadmaps; share technical knowledge across CTI; and evaluate emerging threats and technology requirements to drive continuous platform improvement.

Required Skills

• 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, cyber threat intelligence, threat intelligence engineering, security automation, or related technical roles.
