SPECIFIC ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

SOAR Engineering & Integrations - Design, build, and maintain integrations between XSOAR and platforms such as Archer (or other GRC tools), SecurityScorecard (or similar vendor risk tools), and SIEM solutions such as Splunk. - Develop custom connectors and API-based integrations where native connectors do not exist. - Normalize, enrich, and correlate data from third-party and external risk sources for operational use.

Third-Party Risk Alerting - Build alerting logic for vendor-related threats including vendor breaches, risk score degradation, SaaS abuse, and exposure of vendor-managed assets. - Correlate vendor risk signals with internal telemetry to determine potential business impact. - Enable SOC workflows for third-party-related detections.

Automation & Playbooks

- Design and implement SOAR playbooks to triage, enrich, and respond to vendor-related alerts. - Automate response actions such as token revocation, access suspension, ticket creation, and stakeholder notification. - Maintain and optimize playbooks to reduce manual effort and mean time to respond (MTTR).

Operational Collaboration - Partner with SOC, Vendor Risk, Threat Modeling, and Detection Engineering teams to translate risk scenarios into automation logic. - Document integrations, workflows, and playbooks. - Monitor performance and reliability of SOAR automations.
