You'll partner with Customer Success teams to deliver technically sound, scalable implementations that align with each organization's unique infrastructure and security goals.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain custom data parsers to convert diverse security logs—from SIEMs, cloud platforms, and threat feeds—into standardized formats for analysis.
  • Create automation scripts and integration workflows to streamline deployment and improve system efficiency using tools like Python, Bash, Terraform, and Ansible.
  • Deploy and configure data forwarding technologies, ensuring reliable log transmission and troubleshooting issues across customer environments.
  • Develop and manage Logstash pipelines and Grok patterns to support accurate parsing and normalization of security events.
  • Deliver technical onboarding sessions and provide direct support during implementation phases, guiding customers through platform integration.
  • Collaborate with Security Operations and Engineering teams to adapt solutions to specific operational needs, including playbooks, dashboards, and reporting tools.
  • Advise clients on best practices, helping them strengthen their security posture through platform optimization and tailored configurations.
  • Document deployment procedures, technical workflows, and operational playbooks to ensure consistency and knowledge sharing.

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum of 3 years in cybersecurity, cloud engineering, or DevOps with hands-on experience in data ingestion, normalization, and automation.
  • Solid knowledge of security technologies including SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and cloud security platforms.
  • Proficiency with Google SecOps, Logstash, and data pipeline tools such as OTEL, Cribl, Bindplane, Databahn, or Abstract.
  • Experience scripting in Python, Bash, or similar languages, and working with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Ansible.
  • Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure, and containerization technologies including Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Understanding of networking fundamentals, security operations, and incident response processes.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

  • Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Engineer, or CISSP.

Work Environment

This role supports remote work with the option for company-paid relocation to Kansas City or Sarasota. The team values in-person collaboration and maintains a hybrid model to foster strong relationships and a shared culture. You’ll work within a growing, early-stage environment where your contributions directly shape technical direction and customer outcomes.

Why This Matters

You’ll help organizations defend against evolving threats by enabling smarter, faster security operations through AI and automation. With strong backing and room to grow, this role offers technical ownership, meaningful impact, and exposure to next-generation cybersecurity innovation.
