Work You'll Do

Cyber Data Engineer designs, builds, and operates security data pipelines that move and transform telemetry across the cybersecurity stack, with a strong emphasis on Cribl (preferred) and related integrations. This role is critical to ensure security data is reliably collected, normalized, routed, and delivered to downstream platforms (e.g., Enterprise Log Manager (ELM) / Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)), enabling effective detection, response, and compliance reporting.

As security analytics needs to expand, the Cyber Data Engineer partners with system owners and security stakeholders to onboard sources, improve data quality, and ensure logging and monitoring objectives are met across both cloud and on-prem environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engineer and maintain security data pipelines (Cribl and/or equivalent) for ingestion, parsing, enrichment, filtering, routing, and delivery to ELM/SIEM and related platforms.
• Integrate event feeds using common transport patterns (e.g., syslog) and validate end-to-end data flow, timing, completeness, and correctness.
• Implement data transformations and normalization to support analytics and detection use cases (e.g., consistent fields, time alignment, source attribution).
• Operate and troubleshoot pipeline services, including performance tuning, backlog/latency reduction, and resilience/high-availability considerations.
• Collaborate with SIEM/ELM engineers, SOC (Security Operations Center) teams, and system owners to support onboarding, use-case enablement, and ongoing data quality improvements.
• Support detection and incident response automation by ensuring required data elements are present, consistent, and delivered to the right destinations.
• Create and maintain documentation (architecture/data flow diagrams, pipeline configurations, onboarding guides, SOPs, and troubleshooting runbooks).
• Participate in change control processes: implementation planning, testing/validation, and post-deployment verification.
