Job Description

• Architect and engineer scalable, cloud-native SIEM solutions, utilizing Infrastructure-as-Code principles to manage log ingestion pipelines and storage. • Develop and maintain robust data pipelines to ingest, transform, and normalize security logs from diverse endpoints (APIs, cloud platforms, firewalls) into the SIEM, ensuring high data fidelity and low latency. • Write and optimize custom parsers using Regex and scripting languages to map raw log data to standardized security models, ensuring consistent data structures for analysis. • Program custom integrations connecting third-party tools and streaming data sources to the SIEM via REST APIs and webhooks. • Collaborate with DevOps and Application teams to define logging standards and embed security telemetry requirements early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). • Manage the full lifecycle of the SIEM platform, including health monitoring, troubleshooting ingestion failures, and debugging parsing errors to ensure 24/7 availability. • Proactively analyze ingestion volume against capacity limits to identify optimization opportunities, implementing granular log tuning and exclusion rules that minimize licensing costs and maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. • Engineer automated provisioning workflows using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to programmatically manage both the underlying infrastructure and complex IAM policies supporting the security platforms.
