Security Monitoring Platform Developer (Azure Developer)
For Digital Hub Warsaw, we are looking for:
Security Monitoring Platform Developer (Azure Developer)
(Title stated in the contract: Cyber Security Engineer)
The Security Monitoring Platform Developer designs, implements, and maintains custom security automation applications within the CDC Cyber Security Monitoring (CSM) squad.
The role focuses on developing Azure-native application pipelines (Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus), integrating external security services, and enabling automated incident handling workflows in Microsoft Sentinel and Azure Data Explorer (ADX). Key deliverables include the CheckMail phishing analysis automation, MISP threat intelligence connector, SQL-based data replication, and complex Sentinel incident orchestration. This role is distinct from the Platform Engineer role: while the Engineer maintains infrastructure and platform operations, the Developer builds the custom application layer that runs on top of it as well as infrastructure components with larger code aspects.
At Bayer, we are committed to transparency, equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, and objective reward practices in line with EU and local regulations. The minimum monthly gross compensation for this role is 15 360 PLN, with final pay determined based on objective factors such as experience, qualifications, scope of responsibility, and internal alignment. This position is eligible for variable pay components, such as performance based bonuses, awarded in accordance with the applicable employee group, role scope, and compensation structure.
Your Tasks & Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain the Checkmail automation pipeline- an Azure-native application for automated analysis, enrichment, LLM-based classification, and escalation of user-reported phishing emails, including Function Apps (Python), Logic Apps, Service Bus integration, ADX data persistence, and Sentinel incident creation
- Implement and operate the MISP2Sentinel threat intelligence connector- Azure Function App (Python) using PyMISP and MISP-STIX libraries to periodically push IoCs from DCSO-hosted MISP to the Sentinel Threat IntelligenceIndicator table via Upload Indicators API
- Develop Azure Function Apps (Python) for SQL-based data replication- building and maintaining data pipelines between Azure SQL Database, ADX, and Sentinel to provide context data for detection and enrichment workflows
- Design and implement complex security incident handling logic in Microsoft Sentinel- including multi-step enrichment workflows (VirusTotal, URLScan, CrowdStrike Sandbox), Analytics Rules, Automation Rules, and Logic App-based orchestration for SOC triage and ServiceNow ticketing
- Integrate external security APIs and services into the SIEM platform- including enrichment providers, sandbox integrations, and threat intelligence feeds, with proper error handling, retry logic, and Dead Letter Queue management
- Follow and contribute to the established IaaC deployment process- all application code and infrastructure deployed via GitHub Actions, Terraform, and the CSM GitHub repositories
- Ensure application reliability and observability- implement structured logging, health monitoring integration, Application Insights instrumentation, and proactive alerting for all developed components
- Support content handover and knowledge transfer- ensure all developed components are documented, follow CSM naming conventions, and are integrated into the established RBAC and deployment model
- Collaborate with CSM analysts to translate detection and automation requirements into scalable, maintainable application code.
