  • Detection Engineering : Author / tune SPL searches and correlation rules; map detections to MITRE / CIS; reduce false positives.
  • Dashboards & Reporting : Deliver detection / operations dashboards and automated compliance / audit reports.
  • Platform Care : Support upgrades, performance tuning, license utilization, and app maintenance.
  • D) Delivery, Documentation & Stakeholders

  • Execution : Own Jira epics / stories; deliver against roadmap with measurable outcomes.
  • Docs & Runbooks : Maintain Confluence runbooks, playbooks, standards, and architecture diagrams.
  • Communication : Provide weekly status, risk / issue tracking, and stakeholder updates (customer + internal).
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field; advanced degree a plus.
  • Hands-on DevSecOps experience across CI / CD, Kubernetes, and cloud-native platforms.
  • Strong IaC security and policy-as-code (Terraform / Helm / Git-based guardrails).
  • Kubernetes security (CIS, admission controls, image signing / attestations, RBAC, Pod Security admission, network policies).
  • Observability : Grafana, OpenTelemetry, OpenSearch; on-call tooling (PagerDuty).
  • Splunk (Required) : data onboarding, SPL, dashboards, correlation rules, compliance reporting, and performance tuning.
