As a Senior Hyperautomation Engineer - Wayfinder MDR, you will be tasked with designing, building, and operating the automation layer that powers Wayfinder MDR. Join our Wayfinder MDR organization, an elite Managed Detection & Response service protecting some of the world’s largest and most complex environments. You will work closely with Threat Service Engineers (TSEs), SOC analysts, Threat Hunters, and R&D teams to transform manual SOC processes into scalable, reliable, and efficient automation workflows. This role focuses on engineering and automation, not alert triage. You will help shape how MDR operates at scale by reducing manual workload, improving signal-to-noise ratio, and enabling faster and more consistent threat detection and response. What Will You Do? Primary responsibilities include: Design, develop, and maintain hyperautomation workflows that support alert triage, enrichment, investigation, and response. Convert SOC playbooks, investigation logic, and threat-hunting processes into automated, production-grade workflows. Proactively identify repetitive or high-volume SOC tasks and implement automation to improve efficiency and consistency. Build and maintain integrations with internal platforms and third-party security tools using APIs, webhooks, and event-driven mechanisms. Collaborate closely with Threat Service Engineers (TSEs) and SOC teams to fine-tune existing detections and automation logic. Improve and optimize MDR operational processes to ensure fast response times and effective threat mitigation. Own automation workflows end-to-end, including design, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. Create and maintain automation playbooks, templates, and best practices to support incident response at scale. Work closely with R&D and product teams to provide operational feedback and help shape future detection and response capabilities. What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring? Ideal candidates will have: 5+ years of experience in Security Engineering, Automation Engineering, SOC Tooling, Backend Engineering, or similar technical roles. Strong experience with Python (required); experience with SQL is highly preferred. Experience building and operating automation workflows or backend services in production environments. Solid understanding of SOC operations, incident response workflows, and security alert lifecycles. Experience working with APIs, integrations, and distributed systems. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to translate operational challenges into scalable engineering solutions. Professional and articulate, with strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to manage multiple workstreams and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment. Experience working in MDR, SOC, Threat Hunting, or Incident Response environments. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred). Experience with security telemetry, alerting pipelines, SIEM/XDR concepts, or internal SOC tooling. Experience building internal tools for operational or security teams. Why SentinelOne? AI is redefining how the world operates and rewriting the rules of security in real time, and SentinelOne was built for this moment.
