Role Summary

Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) is a sophisticated SIEM built atop Splunk’s data platform with lots of moving parts. We help thousands of customers as they identify and protect their assets from cyber threats, all over the world. On any given day, our software needs to handle thousands of users, petabytes of data, and unique usage patterns across different deployment topologies.

Splunk ES is at the forefront of data processing. As we take the product to address the next anvil of data challenges that include real-time streaming data processing, integration of disparate and distributed data sources, we need strong engineers to help lead us from the front. That’s where you come in.

We are a passionate team who care deeply about our customers and our teammates. In this role, you will work directly with Product Management, Architects, our Design and other engineering teams to help derive the best experience for the customer. We have a lean process that focuses on empowering and serving our engineers as opposed to just directing them.

What we offer

Connection to the customer. We’re all about making our customers ecstatic about our products, and you’ll frequently work with customers directly to resolve complex needs. As part of this, you’ll be an integral part of our on-call escalation team.
A constant stream of new things to learn. You'll learn how our whole stack works, from code compilation to log/metric observation in the wild. We're also exploring new technologies, and seeking new ways to make our ecosystem more developer-friendly.
Impact. We give our engineers an environment in which they can contribute from day one while also providing opportunities for learning and growth.
Skilled and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support. We are an engineering and product-focused company. Our engineers take a leading role in designing, architecting, building and testing our product.
Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the equation.
A stable, collaborative and supportive work environment. We are totally remote friendly. You can choose to work from a Splunk location or you can be in any US time zone and work with the rest of the team around the globe.
Work-life balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you to have a successful time outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate an outstanding environment.

What you'll get to do

Build a global-scale, security detection platform, optimizing for performance, reliability and quality using Splunk platform innovations, open-source, and cloud tools and technologies.
Initiate, design and drive high impact ideas using the right design principles.
Have broad cross-functional or cross-product impact in the organization and help set strategic direction for products and technology
Influence and achieve results through recognized technical expertise and thought leadership in the industry
Collaborate with team members on the design and implementation of frameworks and backend components and mentor junior engineers, to help develop their technical skills, communication and careers
Participate in high-profile and critical customer engagements and meet with customers as needed
Be actively involved in hiring of technical leads, architects, and senior engineering leaders
