You’ll design, deploy, and operate scalable Elastic (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) environments that power cybersecurity analytics, threat hunting, and data-driven detection use cases. You’ll own reliable log ingestion pipelines, optimize cluster performance, and turn technical outcomes into clear insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and operate distributed Elastic clusters, including capacity planning, performance tuning, and scaling strategy.
• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines aligned to security frameworks and Elastic Common Schema (ECS).
• Manage large-scale Elastic Agent and Fleet deployments.
• Serve as the SME for log ingestion, parsing, normalization, and analysis.
• Deliver Elastic infrastructure as code (IaC) and automate deployments/configuration where possible.
• Develop and maintain Logstash pipelines (e.g., Syslog and other structured/unstructured sources).
• Integrate multiple data sources and third-party platforms into Elastic with clean, searchable data models.
• Create automation/scripts to detect anomalies and improve operational workflows.
• Build dashboards, visualizations, and investigation workflows in Kibana.
• Continuously improve reliability and efficiency by optimizing pipelines, automating manual work, and enhancing architecture.
• Support development of network intrusion analytics in collaboration with a broader detection/engineering team.
• Administer supporting Linux systems for Elastic components and data pipeline services.

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of Elasticsearch internals, including indexing, search, and data aggregation.
• Skills in managing enterprise-level Elasticsearch clusters, handling cluster health, performance tuning, scaling, and ensuring high availability.
• Proficiency in Elasticsearch Query DSL for complex queries, aggregations, and data analytics.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Python, or Ruby. Knowledge of scripting languages for automation is also beneficial.
• Proven track record working in cybersecurity, understanding common attack vectors, threat landscapes, and defensive technologies.
• Proficiency in implementing security measures within Elasticsearch, such as role-based access control, encryption, index security, and audit logging.
• Skills in managing and analyzing logs and security events from various sources (firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, network devices, operating systems) using the ELK stack.
• Advanced ability to craft complex queries, alerts, and visualizations tailored for cybersecurity needs, such as detecting anomalies and potential threats.
• Proficiency in data parsing using GROK/DISSECT, ingestion, and ETL workflows.
• Expertise in developing complex Elasticsearch Watchers.
• Experience in Elastic Security, Detection Rules, Machine Learning, and AI Assistant.
