Python Developer Jobs in Winston Salem, NC (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to join our global Cyber Defense Center Engineering team. You will apply an Everything-as-Code approach to build and manage our software-defined security operations architecture, designing the logic and systems that power our global detection and response platform. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Engineer Detection-as-Code: Write detection logic using KQL, SPL, SQL, and Python. Manage the lifecycle strictly through version control and CI/CD pipelines. Create new monitoring use cases based on red team exercises, CTIC reports, and your own hypothesis-driven threat research. 
• Automate Threat Response: Build and integrate modular automation playbooks across the security stack to accelerate incident response. 
• Optimize Security Controls: Configure and tune enterprise security controls (XDR, firewalls, cloud security, DLP) to adapt to new threats. 
• Drive Capability Engineering: Partner with cross-functional teams to translate analytical needs into architecture and working code. Ensure engineering output directly supports frontline defenders without adding operational friction. 
• Establish AI & Data Foundations: Integrate contextual data models (like knowledge graphs), API gateways, and threat intelligence pipelines to support our targeted AI and ML workloads. 
• Leverage Hybrid Data Ecosystems: Develop detection and automation use cases across a variety of different data architectures (SIEM, data lakes, S3/Storage blobs, Federated Search). 
• Mitigate Security Gaps: Mitigate detection and response gaps through the creation of new detection rules, improvement of processes, new architectural designs, and hand-over to other technical teams. 
• Enforce Pipeline Quality: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated validation gates for secure content deployment. Use breach attack simulation & threat intelligence verification where applicable in larger validation workflows.

Do you dream big? We do too, and we are excited to grow together. In this role, you will bring:  

• Collaboration & Articulation: Problem-solving mindset with the ability to bridge the gap between engineering and SOC operations effectively. Able to convey targeted messages to different audiences. 
• Core Security Expertise: Strong background in SOC and/or SecOps engineering. 
• Engineering Mindset: Proficiency in Python or PowerShell, software engineering best practices, APIs, and data structures (JSON/YAML). 
• Query Mastery & Scripting: Deep proficiency in security query languages (Splunk SPL, KQL, SQL) and Python/TypeScript. 
• GitOps & CI/CD: Hands-on experience with Git and CI/CD platforms for managing infrastructure and logic as code. 
• Security Tooling: Technical experience configuring and administering enterprise security controls (XDR/EDR/NDR, Firewalls, Cloud Security, DLP, Identity). 

Bonus if you have:

• Data Modeling: Familiarity with Graph Databases (Neo4j, Cosmos DB Gremlin) and entity relationship modeling. 
• Applied AI: Experience integrating LLMs or building RAG pipelines for enterprise use cases. 
• Containerization & IaC: Experience with Docker, API Gateways, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Bicep). 
• Software Development: Experience working with compiled languages (C# / .NET). 
• OT Security: Exposure to Operational Technology (OT) and manufacturing environments.
