Senior Security Data Engineer The Senior Security Data Engineer helps build the eyes and ears of EA's security programme. You will lead and evolve the security data pipelines that power detection, investigation, and response across a large, multi-cloud environment. This is a hands-on security data engineering role with Splunk Enterprise Security at its core, but it isn't simply a Splunk role. You'll work with technologies such as Kafka, APIs, Python, HEC, syslog, cloud platforms, and latest security data services to transform critical security telemetry. You'll also help shape where we go next. As security data volumes and costs grow, we begin a journey toward federated security analytics, where we do not need to move every piece of data into a traditional SIEM to make it useful. You'll work with our Security Application Architect to explore new architectures, data platforms while influencing EA's longer-term security data strategy. AI is creating an entirely new category of security telemetry. You'll help determine how we gain visibility into LLM usage, AI APIs, MCP gateways, and enterprise AI services, along with findings from latest security technologies such as Google Model Armor and AIEDR.
