Regular or Temporary: Regular Language Fluency: English (Required) Work Shift: 1st shift (United States of America) Please review the following job description: Seeking a highly skilled Senior Threat Detection Engineer to design, develop, and optimize enterprise-grade detection capabilities across our security platforms. This role demands deep expertise in detection engineering, data pipelines, and advanced analytics combined with proven experience working in highly regulated industries. A critical requirement for this position is hands-on expertise with Anvilogic, including detection-as-code, multi-platform orchestration, and coverage analytics. The role requires practical experience with Splunk, Snowflake/Snowpipe for data ingestion and detection development, and forward-looking familiarity with Cribl /Databahn for scalable telemetry routing and enrichment. The ideal candidate will bring both technical mastery and a strategic mindset, helping our organization stay ahead of evolving adversary tactics. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time. Detection Engineering : Design, develop, and maintain high-fidelity detections across Splunk, Snowflake, and related platforms. Content Development : Author SPL-based detections (Splunk) and SQL-based queries (Snowflake, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server). Snowflake Engineering: Design and optimize queries within Snowflake for detection logic and threat hunting. Configure and maintain Snowpipe pipelines for real-time and batch ingestion of security-relevant data. Partner with data engineering to ensure schema design and ingestion pipelines support scalable detection use cases. Pipeline Engineering (Future State): Design and maintain integrations with Cribl/Databahn (or similar platforms) for log routing, transformation, and observability pipeline efficiency, telemetry enrichment, normalization, and cost-optimized data movement. Platform Administration : Provide administrative expertise for Splunk and Snowflake environments, ensuring resilience, scalability, and performance. Threat Modeling & Framework Alignment : Map detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to ensure comprehensive threat coverage. Anvilogic-Driven Detection Engineering: Use detection-as-code workflows for structured creation, testing, and deployment of detections. Leverage Anvilogic content packs and extend/customize them for organization-specific threats. Orchestrate multi-platform detection deployment across Splunk, Snowflake, and other SIEM/data lake platforms. Apply coverage analytics within Anvilogic to identify detection gaps and validate against MITRE ATT&CK. Manage the full lifecycle of detections including creation, validation, deployment, tuning, and retirement within Anvilogic. Collaborate with SOC and IR teams to streamline workflows and reduce false positives using Anvilogic-driven integration. Regulatory Alignment : Engineer detection solutions with compliance in mind (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA). Collaboration : Partner with SOC, IR, Threat Intel, Red/Purple , Continuous Security Validation, and D ata E ngineering teams to validate detections, minimize false positives, and
