Description
We provide advanced cybersecurity monitoring and engineering support to a wide range of government agencies through a multi-tenant MSS model. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) operates 24/7, leveraging Microsoft Sentinel as the core SIEM platform. However, we increasingly support hybrid and multi-cloud environments including AWS and Splunk, and we are seeking a cloud-savvy SIEM engineer to help us grow and maintain secure, scalable monitoring capabilities.
As a SOC SIEM/Cloud Engineer, you will serve as one of the primary engineers for multi-cloud SIEM operations in a managed security services environment. While Microsoft Sentinel remains our core SIEM platform, you will also support AWS-native security tooling and Splunk-based environments. This role emphasizes cross-cloud log ingestion, automation, and security detection engineering. Candidates must be self-directed, security-minded, and comfortable designing scalable monitoring strategies across diverse architectures.
This is a remote position, but Secret clearance eligibility is required to support future classified operations, as needed.
Key Responsibilities
SIEM Operations & Cloud Integration
-
Administer and optimize SIEM platforms including Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and AWS-native tools such as CloudWatch, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Security Hub.
-
Manage log ingestion pipelines from hybrid, cloud, and containerized environments.
-
Design alert rules, detection use cases, and enrichment pipelines using KQL, SPL, and JSON-based event structures.
Security Automation
-
Build and maintain automation workflows using Azure Logic Apps, Splunk SOAR, and AWS Lambda/Step Functions.
-
Integrate threat intelligence, reputation feeds, and context enrichment across cloud platforms.
-
Partner with SOC analysts to streamline Tier 1-2 response efforts through smart automation.
Multi-Cloud Design & Support
-
Act as the subject matter expert on cloud security logging and architecture for Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments.
-
Advise customers and internal teams on best practices for telemetry, logging policy, and compliance alignment (e.g., FedRAMP, CJIS, NIST 800-53).
-
Lead or support onboarding of cloud workloads including EC2, EKS, Lambda, Azure VMs, Kubernetes, and M365/GCC environments.
