The Role

The Junior Splunk Developer is an engineering position designed for individuals beginning their career in Splunk development and related technologies. This role provides the foundation for becoming a fully capable Splunk Engineer or Developer by blending technical training with hands-on project experience.

Unlike traditional IT roles this position combines software development skills (version control scripting and UI development) with Splunk-specific competencies (search development dashboard creation data onboarding and administrative support). A Junior Splunk Developer works under the guidance of senior engineers and architects to accelerate delivery of Splunk solutions while gaining the depth of knowledge required to grow into more advanced engineering responsibilities. Basic foundational IT knowledgesuch as operating systems networking and security conceptsis critical to the success of this role.

A Junior Splunk Developer will spend most of their time learning the Splunk platform writing basic searches and creating dashboards and assisting with code that supports larger Splunk solutions. They will work closely with senior developers and architects to understand requirements and translate them into smaller well-defined development tasks. The Junior Splunk Developer will contribute to the software development lifecycle (SDLC) by versioning their work in Git participating in code reviews and helping ensure deliverables meet quality standards and integrate cleanly into planned releases.

Junior Developers will bring curiosity and energy to the team and help to create plans that support solution development optimization and small automation tasks while building the foundation for future advanced responsibilities.

Core Skills

• Splunk

These are the baseline Splunk capabilities this role should have before taking on advanced engineering tasks :

Searching & Reporting

Write SPL queries with filters stats eval and time-based commands.

Create dashboards using Simple XML SplunkJS or Dashboard Studio.

Create and manage saved searches event types and tags.

An understanding of the basic Splunk components : Forwarders Indexers Search Heads.

Understand source types index-time vs. search-time fields.

Add / manage users and roles with appropriate permissions.

Comfort with branching merging and resolving conflicts is critical. Junior developers should understand pull requests and code reviews ensuring their work is versioned properly and integrated cleanly into larger projects. Basic knowledge of CI / CD pipelines and how Git repositories tie into deployments is a plus.

Ability to write small automation scripts transform data or build Splunk custom commands in Python. Knowledge of Python libraries commonly used in data handling will help streamline workflow. Junior developers should be able to troubleshoot errors and understand best practices around virtual environments and package management.

Familiarity with building front-end features using React focusing on reusable components and clean user interfaces. Understanding props state management and basic API integration is expected. A junior developer should be ready to collaborate closely with designers and senior engineers to implement mockups accurately.

Junior developers should have a basic awareness of how AI and machine learning concepts apply to Splunk. This includes understanding pre-built machine learning toolkits anomaly detection and predictive models within Splunk. They should be able to use existing AI / ML features follow best practices for applying them to dashboards and searches and collaborate with senior developers when integrating AI into Splunk workflows. Exposure to agentic AI concepts will help juniors understand how Splunk can evolve to support next-generation operations.

Advanced Splunk Skills (Exposure Level)

Junior developers should understand how to enrich search results with external data and maintain small KV stores. Theyll learn how lookups power better reporting and reduce search-time complexity.

Ability to read Splunks REST API documentation and execute basic queries to interact with saved searches indexes or configuration. This skill enables automation and integration with other tools.

Knowledge of tstats for efficient high-performance searches on indexed data. Even at a junior level understanding tstats helps build optimized dashboards.

Familiarity with accelerated data models. Juniors wont architect models but they should be able to leverage existing ones effectively.

Awareness of metric data structure and benefits over event indexing. This is especially relevant for environments heavy in performance or telemetry data.

Splunk Certifications

Demonstrates knowledge of search reporting and basic dashboard creation. This ensures new developers can contribute meaningfully to user-facing Splunk tasks early on.

Validates skills in managing users indexes and basic configuration tasks. A junior developer with this certification can confidently support Splunk environments at an administrative level.

Validates skills in managing users indexes and basic configuration tasks in a Splunk Cloud environment. A junior developer with this certification can confidently support Splunk Cloud environments at an administrative level.

Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) is a SIEM that runs on the Splunk platform. The ES Admin exam verifies a candidates ability to configure ES manage correlation searches and notables maintain data models and support the day-to-day operation of a SOC using Splunk ES. Having this certification demonstrates readiness to assist with security content management incident workflows and ES-specific administration.
