Expression of Interest : Senior Security Automation Engineer

BAT is evolving at pace into a global multi-category business. Our purpose is to create A Better Tomorrow™ by Building a Smokeless World. To achieve our ambition, we are looking for colleagues who are ready to join us on this journey! Tomorrow can’t wait, let’s shape it together!

Senior Security Automation Engineer – Global Business Solutions

We’re looking for a versatile, tool-agnostic security engineer who bridges the gap between SecOps, policy engineering, and automation. You’ll be the kind of person who understands how alerts are generated and what a good detection looks like - but your job is to build, tune, and optimize the tools and policies that enable those detections. Think of yourself as the person who makes the SOC’s life easier without needing to sit in the chair.

This is an engineering-heavy role for someone who’s comfortable working across policy, code, and cloud automation - and who knows when a Logic App beats a spreadsheet.

Your key responsibilities will include :

• Review and tune security policies and controls across enterprise-grade tools (threat intelligence platforms, email security systems, Microsoft Defender suite, data governance and compliance tools).
• Write, adjust, and maintain detection logic, suppression rules, and risk-based policies.
• Develop and automate security workflows using Python (e.g., Jupyter Notebooks for automation, reporting, or data analysis).
• Build cloud-native security automation workflows using Azure Logic Apps, Azure Functions, REST APIs, and webhooks.
• Implement “security as code” principles, integrating security into CI / CD pipelines.
• Translate security requirements into technical implementations, collaborating with cloud, compliance, and security operations teams.
• Maintain strong documentation and clear communication of security initiatives.
