• Evaluate and onboard log sources based on risk, value, and licensing impact.
• Provide expertise on other SIEM platforms, especially Sumo Logic and Google SecOps — including administration, query development, and alerting strategies.
• Conduct technical working sessions and serve as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders.
• Coordinate with SOC analysts to validate and escalate meaningful security alerts.
• Participate in project planning meetings and ensure alignment with timelines and deliverables.
• Document procedures, configurations, and run books to support ongoing operations.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience architecting and administering Sumo Logic and Google SecOps in a production environment.
• Strong working knowledge of at least one other SIEM platform
• Proficiency in query languages
• Experience in log onboarding and understanding of log types (Windows, Linux, cloud, firewall, endpoint, etc.).
• Solid understanding of information security concepts, threats, and detection strategies.
• Scripting skills with PowerShell, Python, or similar for automation and log parsing.
• Strong client communication and documentation skills; comfort in client meetings and presentations.

Preferred
