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.

Top 3 Priorities in First 90 Days

  1. Execute high-volume content migration
    • Refactor and migrate XSOAR content (scripts, playbooks, lists, automations) into XSIAM.
    • Ensure functional parity and optimal performance in XSIAM.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
    • automations
    • enrichment scripts
    • orchestration workflows
  • 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
  • Detection / SOAR automation engineers
  • Security automation engineers in large enterprises
  • Consultants who have supported Cortex implementations or migrations
  • Engineers from managed security service providers (MSSPs)
