Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a remote Splunk Engineer to join a global consulting firm.

This person will be the person who shapes how this organization collects, normalizes, and operationalizes security telemetry across the organization.

You would work directly with the Continuous Monitoring & Detection function to ensure every detection rule has a validated, high-fidelity data source behind it. You would be working on the ingestion pipeline, the health of our log sources, and the quality of the data the organizations CSIRT depends on to detect and investigate threats.

If you are someone who likes to proactively identify data quality issues before they become detection gaps, push back when someone wants to onboard a source that cannot meet the minimum field requirements, and treat the ingestion pipeline as a security control, not an IT service, this is the position for you!

Compensation:
$10/hr to $15/hr
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401K retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
