Lead Security Engineer (SIEM)

• Architect and optimize SIEM platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk), including ingestion pipelines, parsing/normalization, enrichment, and correlation logic.
  
• Engineer and operate Cribl Stream and Cribl Edge for log routing, filtering, transformation, enrichment, data reduction, and destination fanout (SIEM, data lake, cold storage).
  
• Design and maintain telemetry onboarding with schema mapping, collectors/agents, connectors, API integrations, replay, and edge collection for diverse sources (endpoint, network, cloud, identity, app).
  
• Develop advanced detections and analytics (rules, queries, correlations) aligned to MITRE ATT&CK, emerging TTPs, and threat intelligence; measure detection efficacy and coverage.
  
• Lead systematic alert tuning to reduce false positives and improve signaltonoise, leveraging Cribl pipelines and SIEM analytics to standardize high-fidelity events.
  
• Build investigation assets (dashboards, hunting queries, data models) that accelerate SOC workflows and rootcause analysis across telemetry domains.
  
• Monitor ingestion health and cost (EPS/GB/day, license utilization), implement Criblbased data controls (sampling, routing, suppression) to ensure reliability and budget adherence.
  
• Perform RCA on detection gaps and pipeline failures; implement durable fixes in Cribl routes/pipelines and SIEM parsing/enrichment layers.
  
• Mentor engineers and analysts on KQL/SPL, detection engineering patterns, Cribl pipeline design, and telemetry best practices; conduct peer reviews and standards governance.
  
• Maintain documentation: data dictionaries, detection catalogs, Cribl pipeline/runbooks, ingestion maps, and metrics reporting on coverage, fidelity, MTTR, and pipeline SLOs.
