  • Compliance & Documentation: Ensure all observability tools comply with DoW STIGs and IL5/IL6 protocols; develop and maintain architectural documentation and compliance traceability.

  • AIOps & ITSM: 3+ years of experience implementing AIOps workflows, including integration with enterprise ITSM solutions (ServiceNow) for automated root cause analysis and remediation.
  • Machine Learning: Proven track record of building, testing, and tuning supervised and unsupervised models within the Splunk MLTK.
  • Scripting & Automation: Advanced scripting skills for developing custom search commands, API integrations, and automating remediation tasks (e.g., Python).
  • Leadership: Experience leading technical working groups and directing the efforts of adjacent infrastructure and development teams.
  • Operational Experience: Prior experience working within a DoW/DoD Operations Center (NOC/SOC) or supporting mission-critical systems and networks.
  • Communication: Must be able to present designs, plans, and analyses of alternatives to technical leadership boards for approvals.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Enterprise Aggregation: Experience aggregating and correlating telemetry from diverse tools, specifically SolarWinds, ServiceNow, and VMware vCenter.
  • Expert Certification: Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect or Splunk ITSI Certified Admin.
