Job Summary:
This role exists to execute a large-scale migration of security automation and orchestration content from Cortex XSOAR to Cortex XSIAM as part of our banking client’s enterprise AI-Ready Cyber Resilience program. The engineer will provide hands-on keyboard execution capacity to refactor, rebuild, and migrate Python-based scripts, playbooks, automations, and enrichment logic at scale.
This is a pure execution-focused content engineering role—not strategy or design-heavy—requiring deep familiarity with the Cortex ecosystem and the ability to move quickly within a structured migration effort.

- Execute high-volume content migration
- Refactor and migrate XSOAR content (scripts, playbooks, lists, automations) into XSIAM.
- Ensure functional parity and optimal performance in XSIAM.
- Collaborate with internal execution team
- Work alongside a team of 6 FTEs to coordinate migration sequencing and dependencies.
- Align on standards, reuse patterns, and migration best practices.
- Ensure code quality and deployability
- Maintain Python script integrity during refactoring.
- Test and validate automation workflows post-migration.
Required Skills (Must-Haves)
- 4–9+ years – Mid-to-senior level engineer. Must be able to contribute immediately with minimal ramp
- Direct hands-on experience with Cortex XSOAR AND/OR Cortex XSIAM
- Proven experience building and deploying:
- playbooks

- Strong Python development inside XSOAR/XSIAM
- Experience in banking or regulated environments
- Experience modifying/refactoring existing security automation content
- Experience working in execution-heavy engineering roles (high volume delivery)
- Ability to work in a team-based migration effort with defined deliverables
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience migrating or upgrading SIEM/SOAR platforms
- Familiarity with content conversion between platforms
- Experience with detection engineering or SOC automation teams
- Understanding of data structures within XSIAM vs XSOAR
- Exposure to CI/CD or version-controlled content deployment
Ideal Background
- Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR/XSIAM engineers
