About the role

Were an L2 escalation team that owns core directory and security adjacent services. We solve complex problems, write things down, and automate the boring parts. Were hiring two engineers. Every hire must bring strong Windows/AD fundamentals, and each hire must also satisfy one track: Splunk Administration or Netskope (SWG/CASB) Administration.

What youll do (shared)

• Operate with a security first, proactive mindset; dont wait for ticketsfind and fix issues.
• Meet day to day operational commitments, participate in on call, and follow rigorous change control.
• Troubleshoot deeply: analyze verbose logs, traces, and (when relevant) packet captures; correlate across client, network, identity, and cloud systems; produce clear RCAs and runbooks.
• Partner with Client Eng, Network, InfoSec, and Platform teams; create crisp documentation and enable self-service.
• Automate routine tasks (PowerShell preferred, any scripting language welcome).

Must have Core Windows/AD (applies to all candidates)

• Strong hands on administration of Microsoft Active Directory (GPO, DNS, DHCP), PKI, and Windows Server/Client at enterprise scale.
• Working knowledge of LDAP, directory replication, and schema change safety; obsessive about standards, procedures, and access hygiene.
• Scripting proficiency in at least one language (PowerShell preferred) for automation and diagnostics.
• Demonstrated, methodical troubleshooting and prioritization under pressure; excellent communication; quick learner with a growth mindset.

Must have Pick ONE Emphasis Track

Track A Splunk Administration

• Administer and harden Splunk Enterprise in multi-site deployments (indexer clustering + search head clustering, deployer/DS, RBAC, app lifecycle, license mgmt).
• Own performance & reliability: ingestion/search tuning (RF/SF validation, queues, bucket health, retention), and DR/failover testing.
• Lead clean, compliant data onboarding (forwarders/syslog/HEC), sourcetypes, props/transforms, timestamps/line?breaking, field extractions.
• Build/optimize SPL, dashboards, and alerts; coach users on best practices.

Track B Netskope (SWG/CASB) Administration

• Administer and evolve Netskope: threat protection, secure web gateway, and DLP policies aligned to security requirements; coordinate safe rollouts with client, network, and InfoSec teams.
• Investigate and resolve connectivity/performance issues; assist security incident response and apply relevant product features.
• Analyze endpoint/agent logs, policy traces, SSL/TLS handshakes, PAC/proxy flows, and gateway telemetry; corroborate with identity, DNS, and network data; build diagnostics dashboards (often in Splunk).

Nice within this track: Netskope certification (NSCO&A/NSCI); familiarity with SSL/TLS and PKI internals; Wireshark/HAR fluency; prior CASB/SWG experience (vendor agnostic).

Youll also touch

IPAM, Splunk (as a consumer if youre in the Netskope track), Netskope/CASB (as a consumer if youre in the Splunk track), One Identity Active Roles, Quest RMAD, and related enterprise tools.

Success looks like

• Directory hygiene: clean replication, predictable GPO/DNS/DHCP behavior, and well documented PKI changes.
• Troubleshooting outcomes: faster MTTR with clear RCAs, reusable runbooks, and automation to prevent recurrence.
• Splunk track: cluster health green (RF/SF met), low ingest errors & latency, stable license utilization, search SLOs met, clean field extractions.
• Netskope track: safe policy rollouts, measurable reduction in policy related incidents, clear visibility for investigations, and improved end user experience.

Niceto have (both tracks)

• Experience in large enterprises (~10k+ users) and with compliance regimes (ISO/NIST/PCI/HIPAA/GDPR).
• Cross domain exposure: AD/PKI, Splunk, DLP, CASB/SWG, identity, networking.
