Job Description

Salary: $180,000 - 210,000 per year Requirements:

• We are seeking candidates with a minimum of a high school diploma and at least 10 years of combined experience in SIEM, Incident Response, or Computer Network Defense. The ideal candidate should possess an in-depth understanding of Elastic Stack components (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beats) and have experience with Elastic cluster design, scaling, and performance optimization. Proficiency in creating custom dashboards, visualizations, and alerts in Kibana is essential. Additionally, candidates should demonstrate a strong grasp of data ingestion, ETL pipelines, and log aggregation, as well as familiarity with formats like JSON, XML, and CSV. Knowledge of incident response processes and the ability to analyze logs for forensic investigations and threat hunting is critical. A clearance of TS/SCI is required along with certifications such as Elastic Certified Engineer or Analyst and compliance with DoD 8570.01-M/DoD 8140 IAT Level II or III.

Responsibilities:

• In this role, you will be tasked with designing, configuring, and optimizing Elastic Stack components to fulfill operational needs. You will be responsible for developing scalable Elastic solutions for data ingestion, processing, and visualization. Engaging in cluster management—this includes scaling, performance tuning, and troubleshooting—is also a part of your duties. You will collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and create Elastic-based solutions tailored to mission objectives. Additionally, you will document architecture diagrams, workflows, and technical specifications, while also integrating Elastic Stack with tools and platforms like SIEMs and data lakes. Your role will support incident response teams by providing real-time data analysis and visualization, implementing security best practices for Elastic Stack, ensuring compliance with DoD security standards, and developing scripts for deployment and configuration. You will also closely monitor the Elastic Stack performance, perform upgrades and maintenance, and troubleshoot issues related to data ingestion, indexing, and querying.
