As a Senior Information Security Infrastructure Engineer on the InfoSec - Security Architecture team, you will manage the end-to-end pipeline for security telemetry to ensure data flows consistently into Elasticsearch. You will be responsible for building and maintaining ingestion pipelines for cloud provider audit logs, identity activity, and endpoint data while ensuring the health of Elastic Cloud clusters on Kubernetes. Your daily work involves managing infrastructure as code using Terraform, deploying scheduled jobs via Helm, and utilizing Python for automation scripts. To ensure reliability, you will monitor backfills, manage index lifecycle management, and oversee schema consistency. The role requires proficiency in Kubernetes, REST API integration, and the use of AI tools to reduce operational toil. You will solve critical infrastructure challenges by maintaining high-availability systems that support detection, incident response, and consulting teams.

  • Build and maintain ingestion pipelines for security data from cloud providers and third-party APIs into Elasticsearch.
  • Manage the health, upgrades, capacity, and shard management of Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes clusters.
  • Use Terraform to manage cloud infrastructure, Elasticsearch resources, index templates, and automated alerts.
  • Implement AI automation and tooling to reduce operational toil and create self-healing jobs.
  • Monitor data quality and reliability to ensure security telemetry flows correctly and remains consistent.
  • Develop Python scripts to automate ingestion processes and internal operations.
  • Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of security data from initial ingestion to consumption by detection teams.

What we're looking for

  • Ability to operate Elastic and Elasticsearch in production, including managing ingest pipelines, index templates, mappings, and queries.
  • Experience with ECK or Elasticsearch on Kubernetes (preferred).
  • Proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug systems, and automate operations.
  • Proficiency in Kubernetes for deploying workloads, managing Helm charts, and troubleshooting pods/jobs.
  • Proficiency in Terraform for managing cloud infrastructure and Elasticsearch resources as code.
  • Ability to consume REST APIs for data ingestion including authentication, pagination, and rate limiting.
  • Ability to read, write, and modify Python scripts for automation and integration.
  • Eligibility to work in Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 4 or above cloud service environments.
