Even better if you have one or more of the following: * Splunk Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of Splunk SPL. You should be capable of building custom macros, data models, and automated lookups to streamline investigations. * Attack & Mitigation Knowledge: You don't just know what a "Golden Ticket" or "Living off the Land" attack is; you know exactly what telemetry is required to block or detect it. * Preferred Tools: Hands-on experience with CrowdStrike Falcon (including RTR and Fusion) and Splunk ES is highly preferred. * Strong analytical skills and attention to detail with a proven track record of managing and delivering results. * Leadership experience as a subject matter expert with effective written, interpersonal, and verbal communication skills. ## Description Successful candidates will be able to apply their expertise in the design, and implementation of cutting-edge and mission critical security detections used to detect and mitigate sophisticated threats facing Verizon and our customers. The Network Intelligence infrastructure consists of several large scale compute and storage clusters that are used to analyze petabyte scale network and security event data sets for anomalous and malicious network activity. As a Security Engineer on our team, you won't just be monitoring dashboards; you will be the architect of our detection strategy and the primary defender of our infrastructure and global network. In this role, you will be an owner of our Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) ecosystem and our SIEM visibility. You will be expected to anticipate how an adversary thinks, build the systems to catch them, and lead the technical discussions when high-stakes incidents occur., * Detection Engineering: Design, build, and optimize advanced security detections within the Splunk platform. You will move beyond basic alerts to create high-fidelity, risk-based alerting (RBA) models that identify complex attack patterns. * EDR Strategy & Management: Serve as the global SME for our CrowdStrike environment. This includes managing large-scale deployments, tuning prevention policies, and performing deep-dive forensic analysis on endpoint telemetry. * Linux Security Mastery: You will work primarily on linux-based systems developing detections and investigating EDR-based alerts and detections. * Data Engineering: Analyze, normalize and utilize data to identify certain security patterns and properties. * Scripting and Coding: Build small programs and scripts to solve problems and automate tasks to allow the team to move faster and be more efficient., In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.
