Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end design, implementation, and deployment of TORQ SOAR solutions, including playbooks, automation workflows, and incident response orchestration.
• Develop and maintain graph-based or agentic automation workflows while optimizing performance through context management and advanced automation logic.
• Integrate TORQ with enterprise security tools such as Elastic Stack, Splunk, CrowdStrike, cloud workloads, and containerized platforms.
• Deploy and manage TORQ on platforms including public cloud, on-premises, and containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker).
• Leverage automation and orchestration tools (Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, Ansible) to streamline deployment, maintenance, and operational tasks.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure consistent, reliable, and secure operations.
• Provide hands-on support, troubleshooting, and fine-tuning of TORQ playbooks and automation workflows.
• Mentor and guide junior team members, fostering knowledge sharing and skill development.
• Produce and maintain documentation reflecting best practices, integrations, and deployment architectures.
• Stay current on competing SOAR technologies (e.g., Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, Siemplify, Demisto) and provide guidance on comparative capabilities or migration strategies.
• Deliver operational updates, status reporting, and technical recommendations to clients and ECS management.
