G2 is looking for a Security Automation Engineer who is responsible for establishing visibility, control, and governance across G2’s SaaS and cloud ecosystem through automation and data-driven asset management.
This role builds the foundation for continuous SaaS posture management—aggregating and reconciling vendor, financial, and identity data to ensure secure configurations, reduce shadow IT, and strengthen audit readiness.

Reconcile financial and procurement data (e.g., NetSuite, Coupa) with active SaaS usage to detect unauthorized or redundant tools (10%).
Establish lifecycle tracking for SaaS tools, including onboarding, renewal, and deprovisioning workflows.
Security Configuration & Posture Monitoring
Automate collection of SaaS configuration and security metadata (e.g., admin MFA, logging, backups, SSO enforcement) using API integrations and scripts (20%).
Partner with IT and app owners to validate secure configurations and remediate identified risks (10%).
Conduct quarterly access and configuration reviews for high-risk applications.
Automation, Integration, & Reporting
Build automated pipelines to reconcile data from identity, financial, and SaaS management systems (15%).
Develop dashboards and metrics for SaaS risk posture, audit readiness, and control compliance (5%).
Support audit and compliance initiatives (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF) through evidence collection and control documentation.
We realize applying for jobs can feel daunting at times. Even if you don’t check all the boxes in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
3–5 years of experience in security engineering, IT automation, or SaaS operations roles.
Proficiency with APIs and scripting languages (Python, PowerShell, or similar) for automation and data reconciliation.
Strong understanding of SaaS authentication and identity standards (SSO, SAML, SCIM, OAuth).
Experience integrating with systems like Okta, Google Workspace, Coupa, or NetSuite.
Knowledge of frameworks such as NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or ISO 27001.
Familiarity with SaaS Management Platforms (e.g., BetterCloud, Torii, or Lumos).
Experience building automation for configuration checks or data enrichment.
Exposure to GRC tools and control documentation workflows.
Security certifications such as Security+, SSCP, or relevant cloud certifications (AWS/GCP).
