Consultant Task – Splunk Architect (Remotely from within the EU), published: 18.12.2024

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Splunk Architect to join our client team and support diverse client assignments in the cybersecurity domain. As a Splunk Architect, you will play a critical role in designing, deploying, and optimizing Splunk solutions that provide actionable insights to secure and monitor enterprise environments effectively.

Our client needs this consultative role for immediate and separate smaller needs instead of one dedicated singular project. This is a great chance to work for a trusted and established advisor in the industry, and together with highly competent experts. The role is a great opportunity to build a long-term relationship with our client, resulting in different and rewarding projects, both big and small. 

This role requires a deep understanding of Splunk's architecture, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. Additionally, if the consultant has an overall understanding of and experience in different SIEM solutions, it will highly raise the chances of increasing workload.

Responsibilities:
- Design & Architecture: Tailor Splunk architectures to client needs, define deployment best practices, and guide on premium apps like ES and ITSI.
- Implementation & Configuration: Oversee deployments, integrate data sources, and build dashboards/queries aligned with security standards.
- Optimization & Troubleshooting: Monitor, fine-tune performance, and resolve data ingestion or dashboard issues.
- Collaboration: Work with clients’ teams to gather requirements, train users, and offer cybersecurity enhancement advice.
- Documentation & Support: Create technical documentation and provide ongoing support for evolving needs.

Requirements:
- Technical Skills: Extensive experience with Splunk platform (Enterprise, Cloud, ES, ITSI), SPL proficiency, data onboarding, and enterprise security concepts.
- Professional Experience: Proven delivery of Splunk solutions in enterprise or cybersecurity, with knowledge of large-scale log management, big data, and cloud environments.
- Certifications: Splunk Certified Architect or related certifications preferred.
- Soft Skills: Excellent communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities.
