Implement ingestion and transformation workflows using Cribl, Vector, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar technologies.
Design and expand an Observability Lakehouse aligned to OpenTelemetry (OTEL) data models and standards.
Normalize and model high-volume security and observability data for detection, forensics, and operational intelligence use cases.
Develop automated ETL/ELT frameworks, Delta Lake architectures, and data quality checks for unstructured and semi-structured telemetry.
Collaborate closely with Security Engineering, SRE, Cloud, and SOC teams to enhance enterprise visibility and improve detection fidelity.
Build CI/CD workflows and reusable IaC-driven patterns for pipeline deployment and automation.
Troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and drive continuous improvements in reliability, latency, and cost efficiency.
Contribute to team knowledge sharing and engineering standards focused on observability, security, and reliability.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years of experience with SQL and Python in production data environments.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with Cribl, Vector, Kafka, or similar high-volume ingestion technologies.
Background supporting SIEM/SOAR, detection engineering, or threat analytics platforms.
Familiarity with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, metadata management, and lineage tooling.
Understanding of enterprise observability platforms (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, etc.).
Knowledge of security governance, auditing, access controls, and sensitive-data handling.
Experience with IaC tooling (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation).
Familiarity with cloud orchestration technologies (Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Functions, Logic Apps, Kubernetes-based platforms).
