What are props in the context of theater and film?

Props, short for 'properties,' are objects used on stage or on screen by actors during a performance or production. These items can range from everyday objects like books and phones to specialized items made specifically for a scene, such as weapons, luggage, or period-specific artifacts. Props help create a believable environment, support storytelling, and can often be essential to the plot or character development. The person responsible for managing, sourcing, and maintaining these items is known as a prop master or props manager.

What are some common challenges faced by props professionals during live performances, and how can they be addressed?

Props professionals often encounter challenges such as last-minute changes, quick set transitions, or unexpected prop malfunctions during live performances. To address these, they must be highly organized, keep detailed inventories, and anticipate potential issues by preparing backup props and repair kits. Strong communication with stage management and other departments is essential to ensure everyone is aware of changes and responsibilities. Adaptability and problem-solving skills are key to maintaining the flow of the show without disrupting the audience's experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a props master, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Props Master, you need expertise in prop sourcing, crafting, and maintenance, often supported by experience in theater or film production and a background in art, design, or technical theater. Familiarity with workshop tools, prop databases, and safety regulations is crucial, along with knowledge of materials and fabrication techniques. Strong organizational skills, creativity, and effective communication help you collaborate with directors and other departments to bring creative visions to life. These skills ensure that productions run smoothly, props are safe and realistic, and the overall storytelling is enhanced.

JOB OVERVIEW

The SIEM Data Engineer is responsible for the ingestion, parsing, normalization, and quality of data flowing into the Splunk platform across government agencies. This role owns the data pipeline - from onboarding new log and event sources to ensuring data is accurate, consistent, and normalized to a common schema so it is immediately usable for analysis and detection. The Data Engineer works closely with the Platform Engineer, Detection Engineer, and source-system owners to deliver reliable, high-quality data.

Essential Functions:

  • Data Ingestion and Source Onboarding
    • Develop data ingestion strategies and onboard new log and event sources using inputs, forwarders, HTTP Event Collector (HEC), and API-based integrations.
    • Configure and validate data inputs across diverse log and event data types.
  • Parsing and Field Extraction
    • Develop and maintain parsing configurations (props.conf, transforms.conf) including field extractions, event breaking, and timestamp recognition.
    • Build and tune regular expressions to accurately extract fields from structured and unstructured data.
  • Data Normalization
    • Design and implement data normalization to the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) for consistent, cross-source analysis.
    • Ensure data conforms to standardized schemas that support downstream reporting and detection.
  • Data Quality and Monitoring
    • Monitor data feeds for gaps, latency, volume anomalies, and parsing errors, and remediate issues quickly.
    • Establish data validation and quality checks to maintain accuracy and completeness.
  • Source Integration
    • Integrate data from on-premises, cloud, and third-party systems, coordinating with source owners on formats and connectivity.
    • Partner with the Platform Engineer on index and sourcetype design to optimize storage and searchability.
  • Data Lifecycle and Compliance
    • Apply retention, masking, and handling requirements to ingested data in line with relevant standards and regulations.
    • Support compliance and audit needs related to data provenance and integrity.
  • Documentation
    • Maintain documentation of data sources, onboarding procedures, parsing logic, and data flows.
    • Create runbooks to support consistent, repeatable data onboarding.

Qualifications:

  • US Citizen with an active Top Secret Security Clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field plus 6 years of related experience.
  • Proven experience with Splunk data onboarding, parsing, and normalization, preferably within government or enterprise environments.
  • Hands-on experience with props.conf/transforms.conf, field extractions, and the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM).
  • Strong proficiency with regular expressions and a solid understanding of log formats (syslog, JSON, CSV, Windows Event Log, cloud audit logs, etc.).
  • Understanding of data pipeline concepts, data quality, and log management principles.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to diagnose and resolve data quality and ingestion issues.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

DESIRED:

  • Data onboarding via inputs, universal/heavy forwarders, HEC, and API/scripted inputs
  • Parsing and event processing: props.conf/transforms.conf, event breaking, timestamp recognition, line merging
  • Field extraction and strong regular expression proficiency
  • Data normalization to the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM)
  • Sourcetype, index, and knowledge object design in coordination with the platform team
  • Data quality monitoring: gap/latency detection, volume anomaly identification, and remediation
  • Deep familiarity with common log formats (syslog, JSON, CSV, Windows Event Log, cloud audit logs, network/EDR telemetry)
  • Data pipeline and integration experience across on-prem, cloud, and third-party sources
  • Scripting (Python and/or Bash) for automation and data validation

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

  • Inside office environment.
  • Working on a computer for long periods of time.
  • May involve long period of sitting at a desk.
  • The work environment is fast-paced and sometimes involves extreme deadline pressures.
