The role

In the Future SOC unit, within the Cybersecurity Operations area at Telefónica Tech, we work on two major lines:

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response): requirements definition, design, and development of use cases for detection, security event enrichment, and automation of responses tailored to each client.

Software Engineering Technical Office: development of custom software products and services, automation and management of cybersecurity infrastructures, security support for development to interpret findings and guide corrections, and innovation applied to the evolution of the SOC.

In this context, we are looking for an Agentic AI and Innovation Engineer with a Python development profile and experience building solutions with LLMs and AI agents, to drive the transformation of our SOC in two directions:

SOC Transformation through agentic AI: design, construction, and deployment of AI agents that assist and automate operator tasks.

Innovation in developments for SOC improvement: prototyping and evolution of new tools and products that increase the efficiency, quality, and capabilities of the service.

What you'll do

SOC Transformation with agentic AI

Design and develop AI agents that automate operational tasks, integrated with SOC platforms (SIEM, SOAR/XSIAM, EDR, Threat Intelligence).

Build multi-agent flows and tools (tool calling, MCP) that allow agents to query and act upon security systems.

Define evaluation mechanisms, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop to guarantee the reliability, traceability, and security of the agents.

Identify, together with the operations teams, the processes candidate for AI automation and measure their impact (MTTD, MTTR, reduction of false positives, operator workload).

Innovation in developments for SOC improvement

Develop new capabilities and accompany their evolution through to production.

Perform technological surveillance on AI applied to cybersecurity, evaluating models, frameworks, and market tools.

Develop internal tools, APIs, and integrations that improve SOC operations.

Document developments and internal procedures.
