Cybersecurity Engineering (Need TX locals)

Security Engineering & Development

Design and develop secure software components, APIs, and microservices to support penetration testing workflows and security automation.
Create custom integrations between penetration testing platforms, vulnerability scanning tools, and enterprise SIEM platforms.
Develop data ingestion pipelines to normalize and forward security telemetry into Splunk and other SIEM platforms.
Create automation scripts to orchestrate security testing, evidence collection, and reporting processes.
Support integration of security testing results into governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platforms.

Penetration Testing Enablement

Build and maintain Kali Linux-based penetration testing infrastructure, including virtualized and cloud-hosted environments.
Configure and manage penetration testing toolchains, frameworks, and supporting services.
Develop custom exploit scripts, test harnesses, and proof-of-concept code to validate security findings.
Support red team and application penetration testing engagements through automation and tool development.

SIEM & Security Operations Integration

Develop APIs and connectors to integrate security tools with enterprise SIEM platforms.
Implement log parsing, enrichment, and normalization logic to improve detection fidelity.
Automate alert enrichment, correlation, and reporting workflows.
Collaborate with CSOC teams to align development efforts with detection and monitoring requirements.

Scripting & Automation

Develop scripts using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar languages to automate security operations and testing processes.
Implement CI/CD pipelines for security tooling and integration code.
Maintain version control repositories and documentation for developed solutions.

Security & Compliance Alignment
