What they're looking for
- Deployed and maintained Splunk Enterprise Security content in a production SOC environment, including detections , data models, and data management
- Built detection queries in SPL at scale, including risk- based alerting , statistical baselining, and optimized searches across high-volume data sources
- Integrated AI/ML techniques (e.g., anomaly detection, LLM-assisted workflows) into detection engineering pipelines to reduce false positive rates and accelerate content development
- Translated threat intelligence and ATT&CK-mapped adversary behaviors into detection requirements with defined coverage metrics and measurable success criteria
- Contributed to collaborative development workflows using Git-based platforms (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket), including branch strategy, code review, and CI/CD integration
- Built or tuned security monitoring coverage across AWS, GCP, or Azure, including native logging services (e.g., CloudTrail, GCS audit logs, Azure Monitor) and cloud-native threat detection
