Senior Automation Engineer

Position: Senior Automation Engineer

Location: NYC, NY (3 days onsite is must - In-person interview required )

Duration: 12 Months

Role: Automation Engineer — AI-Driven Code Security & Remediation Framework

Role Summary

Builds and operates a system that scans GitHub/Artifactory repos for vulnerabilities and EOL libraries, then uses AI-driven automation to remediate findings — cutting manual triage and patch time firm-wide.

Core Technical Skills

· Programming: Strong Python (scanners, orchestration, API integration); basic Bash for CI/CD glue

· Source & Artifact Systems: GitHub (Actions, Advanced Security, PR workflows) and JFrog Artifactory/Xray; ability to scale across multi-repo, multi-language codebases

· Scanning Tools: Hands-on with Snyk, Xray, CodeQL / Dependabot, Trivy, or Semgrep; understanding of CVE/CVSS scoring and EOL-detection sources (e.g., endoflife.date)

· AI-Driven Remediation: Building agentic workflows (LLM-based) that interpret findings, generate patch PRs, run tests, and summarize fixes; prompt engineering for code-editing agents

· CI/CD & Orchestration: Integrating scan-and-fix pipelines into GitHub Actions/Jenkins; Docker for isolated fix-testing; scheduling via Airflow/cron

· Reporting: Structuring findings (JSON/SQL) into dashboards for tracking coverage and trends

Supporting Skills

· Security fundamentals (injection, auth flaws, supply-chain/SBOM risk)

· Risk-based prioritization beyond raw CVSS scores

· Semantic versioning awareness for safe auto-upgrades

· Testing discipline — regression validation before auto-merge

Communication Skills

· Translating vulnerability data into concise, risk-framed leadership updates (exposure counts, MTTR, fix-rate trends)

· Writing clear status emails on scan coverage and outstanding critical items

· Building the business case (time saved, risk reduced) for non-technical stakeholders

Continuous Learning

· Tracking emerging agentic/AI remediation tools and evaluating fit before firm-wide adoption

Skill Levels

· Expert Level resource: 12+ total years of experience, with at least three years in relevant AI driven automation for code scanning and remediation matching the above skills

· Advanced level: Total 10+ years of total experience, of which at least three years must be in the relevant AI driven automation for code scanning and remediation matching the above skills
