3. Responsibilities and Tasks

SIEM Engineering and Delivery

• Drive the design, implementation, maintenance, and optimization of the enterprise SIEM platform.

• Define and maintain the SIEM delivery roadmap in line with Global Security Organization strategy and business priorities.

• Onboard security-relevant log sources with appropriate parsing, normalization, enrichment, correlation, retention, and searchability.

• Monitor and improve platform availability, performance, scalability, capacity.

• Keep SIEM components on supported versions and ensure relevant patches and updates are applied.

• Troubleshoot data ingestion, pipeline, parsing, indexing, correlation, and platform performance issues.

• Maintain engineering standards, technical documentation, architecture artifacts, and operating procedures for the SIEM environment.

• Identify security-control and detection-coverage gaps and recommend prioritized improvements.

• Define security key performance indicators and engineering metrics for SIEM and detection capabilities.

• Maintain documented review of detection exceptions, accepted risks, suppressions, exclusions, and rule changes.

• Link engineering outcomes to the Global Security Organization’s strategic roadmap and business needs.

4. Qualifications and Experience

• 4 to 8 years in cybersecurity, security engineering, SIEM engineering, detection engineering, or incident response With  a BE/BTech graduation. 

• Strong hands-on experience operating and engineering an enterprise SIEM platform.

• Experience integrating and analyzing telemetry from network, endpoint, cloud, identity, application, and email platforms.

• Proven ability to convert threat intelligence, adversary behaviors, and incidents into technical detection content.

5. Required Technical Skills

• Data pipeline fundamentals — log ingestion, parsing, normalization, enrichment, schema mapping, correlation, indexing, retention, and data quality.

• Scripting — Python, PowerShell, Bash, or comparable, applied to automation and content engineering.

• Engineering tooling — hands-on use of APIs, Git or another version-control platform, and structured content-development practices.

• Analysis and documentation — strong analytical, troubleshooting, and technical-writing capabilities.
  Detection query and analytics languages — proficiency in one or more of KQL, SPL, EQL, ES|QL, SQL, Lucene, Sigma, or equivalent.

6. Security Technology Knowledge
