1. Summary of Position

The SIEM Engineer position is a cornerstone of our security operations, responsible for architecting, building, and mastering our threat detection and response ecosystem within Azure Sentinel. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role for a professional who thrives on managing the entire security data pipeline—from architecting log ingestion from multi-cloud sources to developing sophisticated KQL analytics and automated SOAR playbooks. More than just a platform administrator, this position is empowered to strategically enhance our security posture by creating insightful dashboards, defining the metrics that measure our success, and spearheading the development of our proactive threat hunting program.

1. Responsibilities

• SIEM Architecture & Management:
  • Lead the design, deployment, and continuous improvement of our Azure Sentinel environment.
  • Ensure the health, performance, and availability of the SIEM platform, including Log Analytics Workspaces and Azure Data Explorer clusters.
  • Manage data retention, archiving, and cost optimization strategies for security logs.
• Log Ingestion & Data Management:
  • Develop and manage data connectors to ingest logs from a wide variety of on-premise and multi-cloud (Azure, AWS) sources, including network devices, endpoints, applications, and identity providers.
  • Create and maintain parsing and normalization rules (ASIM) to ensure log data is structured, consistent, and ready for analysis.
  • Troubleshoot issues with log sources, data connectors, and parsing functions.
• Detection, Automation, & Metrics:
  • Develop, test, and tune high-fidelity analytics rules in KQL to detect emerging threats, mapping detections to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Build and maintain Azure Logic Apps (SOAR playbooks) to automate incident enrichment, notification, and response actions.
  • Design and develop interactive Azure Workbooks (dashboards) to provide real-time visibility for the Security Operations Center (SOC).
  • Create and track key incident response metrics, such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), to measure program effectiveness.
  • Participate in Incident Response Exercises and tabletop simulation or other security related drills
• Threat Hunting Practice Development:
  • Establish and lead a proactive threat hunting program within the SIEM.
  • Formulate hypotheses based on threat intelligence and an understanding of our environment.
  • Utilize advanced KQL queries and big data analytics to hunt for indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that evade traditional detections.
  • Translate successful threat hunts into new, automated detection rules.
