About the Role

Splunk's Threat Response SOC operates globally, 24/7, at the intersection of incident response, detection engineering, and automation. We protect Splunk's enterprise and product environments and are constantly building better ways to do it. This role combines hands-on security operations with AI-enabled investigation workflows and human-supervised agentic tooling to reduce analyst toil, aiming for faster incident response, less noise, and a sharper SOC.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full arc of security incidents from first alert to documented resolution.
  • Triage, investigate, and respond to security alerts across Splunk's enterprise and product environments.
  • Scope threats, collect evidence, and drive response actions using Splunk tooling and security platforms.
  • Partner with Detection Engineering to tune detections, cut false positives, and close coverage gaps.
  • Build and maintain SOC automation to eliminate repetitive work including scripts, playbooks, and enrichment workflows.
  • Apply AI-assisted and agentic tooling to accelerate investigation, enrichment, summarization, and repeatable analyst workflows with human oversight.
  • Hunt threats, lead incident reviews, and contribute to cross-team investigations that raise SOC-wide quality.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree and 4+ years' of experience in security operations, incident response, or related technical role.
  • Working knowledge of incident response, alert triage, threat hunting, evidence handling, escalation workflows, and common attacker techniques.
  • Hands-on experience triaging and investigating alerts using SIEM, EDR, cloud, or network security tooling.
  • Experience with Git/GitLab workflows: branching, merge requests, code review, and CI/CD.
  • Experience with automation scripts, and make updates to playbooks, pipeline configurations, or modular tooling.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development, AI-powered security tooling, or agentic workflows, and ability to critically evaluate tool output before taking action.
  • Experience with MITRE ATT&CK, threat hunting methodology, malware triage, phishing analysis, vulnerability exploitation, attacker infrastructure analysis, or SOC performance metrics.
  • Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen).
  • May perform work that the U.S. government has specified can only be performed by a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil.
