Piper Companies is seeking a Splunk Engineer / Architect to support a leading organization in the cybersecurity and enterprise technology industry. The Splunk Engineer / Architect will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and optimizing enterprise-scale Splunk environments within a SOC, with a strong focus on backend engineering and architectural design rather than dashboarding or end-user analytics.

* Develop and execute data ingestion strategies, including onboarding, normalization, parsing, and performance optimization.
* Establish governance, platform standards, and best practices to ensure long-term scalability and reliability.
* Support SOC operations by building and tuning SIEM use cases, correlation searches, and alerts aligned with MITRE ATT&CK.
* Collaborate with cybersecurity and infrastructure teams to enhance threat detection, monitoring, and incident response capabilities.
Requirements of the Splunk Engineer / Architect: * Active Secret Clearance required.
* 5+ years of hands-on Splunk Engineering/Architecture experience (backend focus, not dashboarding).
* Strong expertise with Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) in large-scale environments.
* Deep understanding of data ingestion, indexing, clustering (indexer/search head), and search optimization.
* Experience supporting Splunk within a SOC and contributing to SIEM/security monitoring strategies.
Compensation for the Splunk Engineer / Architect: * $140,000-$180,000
* Full Comprehensive Benefits: Health, Vision, Dental, PTO, Paid Holiday and Sick Leave if Required by Law.
