- Onboard new log sources and manage data inputs, forwarders, and parsers
- Tune alerts to cut false positives and lift detection quality
- Build dashboards and support reporting needs
- Troubleshoot ingestion, alerting, and integration issues
- Test and validate new use cases and integrations
- Document technical processes and operational procedures
- Work alongside senior engineers and stakeholders to land project outcomes
What you'll bring
- Splunk experience
- Solid understanding of Splunk Enterprise and/or Splunk Cloud
