Security & AI Engineer

SecWise is a fast-growing Belgian security scale-up. Our Services Tribe runs a managed SOC for a growing base of customers, backed by an Engineering Chapter that builds the automation and AI capabilities behind it. That chapter is where you come in.

Below covers everything you need to know about what this opportunity entails, as well as what is expected from applicants.

This is not a maintenance job. You build things that make the SOC smarter and faster: automations, AI-driven capabilities, and production-ready tooling out of promising PoCs.

The role

You deliver on the engineering roadmap of our Services Tribe. You build SOC automations, turn PoCs into production-ready capabilities and build out our AI engineering projects. You report to the Engineering Lead.

What you'll do

• Contribute to and execute the engineering roadmap
• Build SOC automation capabilities that reduce manual work for our analysts
• Take PoCs from the Engineering Lead through to production-ready capability
• Build and implement AI engineering projects, from agentic workflows to AI-assisted triage and reporting
• Work mostly on internal projects for the SecWise SOC, occasionally on projects for a customer
• Work closely with the SOC team so what you build actually lands in daily operations

Who you are

• Bachelor in Applied Information Technologies or equivalent
• Preferably 2 years of experience in security engineering, automation or a related field; strong recent graduates with something to show are welcome to apply
• You build: at least basic coding skills and understanding (Python, PowerShell or similar) and the drive to automate what others do by hand
• We use Gen AI for code writing; you don't need to write everything from scratch, but you must be able to read, review and correct generated code, and xlxgzvr know when it's wrong
• Genuinely interested in AI and its application in security operations; you have experimented with LLMs, agents or AI tooling beyond just using a chatbot
• Experience with the Microsoft security stack (Sentinel, Defender XDR, KQL, Logic Apps) is a big plus, but not a hard requirement
• You finish things: a PoC is not done until it runs in production
• Fluent in Dutch and English

Practical

• 3 days a week in our office in Leuven
• Scale-up culture with a young, driven team and room to shape your own role
