Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)
Location: Washington, DC (On-site)
Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)
About the Opportunity:
ZipStaff is seeking a Senior SOAR Automation Engineer to support cyber governance and enablement at a major passenger rail and transportation organization.
This role sits with the Cyber Advisory Governance and Enablement team and is workflow, low-code/no-code, and API development—not a traditional SOC or incident-response seat. You will work with a Lead SOAR Architect to extend GRC automation on Swimlane and build a single-pane view across the security stack.
What You’ll Do:
- Design, build, and optimize automated playbooks, workflows, custom widgets, and UIs in Swimlane.
- Develop API connectors and data pipelines from Swimlane to security tools, ServiceNow / ITSM, CMDBs, and cloud environments.
- Automate GRC processes: risk triage, escalation, compliance workflows, dataset normalization, error handling, logging, and performance monitoring.
- Run technical discovery and turn business/security needs into user stories, epics, specs, and playbooks.
- Build custom forms, dashboards, reporting, and dataset-enrichment pipelines.
- Maintain change control, data-validation standards, and technical documentation for audit and compliance.
- Work in Agile with the lead architect and peer developers.
Required Qualifications:
- 3–5+ years building and deploying automated playbooks on a SOAR platform.
- Proven workflow engineering, software development, or API integration background (Python, REST APIs, JSON)—not a pure SOC/IR profile.
- Experience building custom forms, dashboards, analytics, and enrichment pipelines in security automation tools.
- Working knowledge of AWS, Azure, or M365, ticketing systems, and hybrid enterprise infrastructure.
- Strong requirements-gathering skills with non-technical stakeholders
- Ability to work on-site in Washington, DC.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on Swimlane (strongly preferred).
- Splunk SOAR or Microsoft Sentinel with transferable playbook/API skills.
- ServiceNow and CMDB integrations.
- Transportation, rail, or other regulated-enterprise GRC automation.
Benefits:
- Healthcare insurance (employee-only).
- Dental insurance.
- Vision insurance.
- 401(k).
- Paid time off.
About ZipStaff:
ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients.
To apply, submit your resume highlighting SOAR playbook development, Swimlane (or Splunk SOAR / Sentinel), Python/REST APIs, and workflow automation—not a SOC-only background.
