o Install, configure, and optimize Splunk components (indexers, search heads, forwarders, clustering)
o Manage both on-premise/physical server environments and hybrid integrations
Support real-time operational systems
o Enable monitoring and observability for high-availability, real-time engineering systems
o Build dashboards and alerts used by engineering and operations teams
Develop data pipelines and ingestion strategies
o Integrate data from diverse sources (logs, sensors, applications, control systems)
o Optimize parsing, indexing, and search performance
Partner with software engineering leadership
o Work closely with Software Engineering Managers and system teams
o Translate operational requirements into scalable Splunk solutions
