The Security Platform Services Group Shared Services team is at the heart of delivering reliable, scalable security solutions across the organization. As we continue to advance our platform to meet the latest security challenges—including real‑time threat detection, seamless integration of diverse security tools, and support for distributed environments—we are seeking skilled engineers to help lead the way. That’s where you come in. We are a passionate, collaborative team dedicated to supporting our internal partners and each other. In this role, you will work closely with Product Management, Architects, Designers, and various engineering teams to deliver the best possible security experience for our customers. Our lean process focuses on empowering and supporting engineers, giving you the autonomy to innovate and make a meaningful impact. Your Impact
Build a global‑scale, security detection platform, optimizing for performance, reliability, and quality by using Splunk platform innovations, open‑source, and cloud tools and technologies. Own and deliver multiple features that address complex and unique security challenges, taking accountability for their success. Develop deep expertise in our product architecture, usage patterns, and real‑world deployment scenarios to identify and deliver solutions that bring substantial value to our customers. Partner with leaders across architecture, engineering management, and product management to shape project requirements, design solutions, and implement development plans. Identify and implement opportunities to enhance team productivity and efficiency by expanding and refining our tools and processes. Collaborate with team members on the design and implementation of frameworks and backend components, and mentor junior engineers to help develop their technical growth, communication skills, and career development. Participate in high‑profile and critical customer engagements, including direct meetings with customers as needed. Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of software engineering experience focused on application development. M.S. or B.S. in Computer Science, or a related technical field. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C/C++, or similar. Expertise in client‑side scripting and JavaScript frameworks (React and/or Backbone JS). Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and RESTful APIs. Deep experience building scalable, distributed web applications using open source or proprietary technologies. Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies and solve a wide range of technical challenges. Proven track record of working effectively in dynamic, cross‑functional team environments. Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Test Driven Development (TDD) and understanding of CI/CD technologies. Knowledge and experience with secure coding practices. Familiarity with orchestration and cloud technologies like Kubernetes (k8s), Kinesis, and Kafka. Familiarity with information security is a huge plus. Salary
The starting salary range posted for this position is $183,800.00 to $263,600.00 and reflects the projected salary range for new hires in this position in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including incentive compensation, equity, or benefits.
