  • Develop detection engineering strategies, including creating and refining alert types such as threshold, anomaly, flow, and ratio alerts.
  • Oversee incident management processes, ensuring adherence to SLAs and effective response workflows.
  • Contribute to the broader SecOps technology stack by integrating detection, log management, and alerting tools with existing security infrastructure.
  • Implement log pipelines adhering to data masking, field redaction, and sensitive data handling requirements in compliance with federal regulations.
  • Collaborate with federal cybersecurity teams on logging architecture, audit log management, and ATO processes, ensuring compliance with NIST 800-53 AU controls and OMB M-21-31 standards.
  • Manage and configure security integrations, including cloud-native APIs, endpoint telemetry, and network/security appliance logs, ensuring comprehensive visibility.
  • Support automation scripting using Python, Bash, or equivalent to streamline log pipeline operations and platform integrations.
  • Stay current on federal cybersecurity requirements, including FedRAMP and NIST guidelines, applying best practices to platform configuration and operational procedures.

Qualifications

  • Proven hands-on experience with Coralogix, including platform administration, DataPrime query language, alert development, and pipeline design.
  • Extensive experience architecting and managing enterprise-scale logging pipelines with tools such as OpenTelemetry Collector, Fluentd, or Fluent Bit.
  • Familiarity with onboarding diverse log sources, including cloud services (AWS CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, S3), Kubernetes, Windows/Linux endpoints, and network appliances.
  • Strong understanding of federal logging requirements, including NIST 800-53 AU controls and OMB M-21-31, with experience operating in regulated environments.
  • Technical skills in Coralogix platform features: TCO Optimizer, SSO/SAML configuration, API key management, and ML integrations.
  • Ability to script and automate tasks using Python, Bash, or similar tools for operational efficiency.
  • Experience working within federal or regulated environments emphasizing multi-tenant data security and compliance.
  • Excellent communication skills to convey technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and promote platform adoption across teams.
  • Relevant certifications such as Coralogix Certified Engineer, GIAC (GCED, GCIH, GCIA), AWS Security Specialty, CISSP, CISM, or Security+ are preferred.
