Job description
Cisco's Professional Services Security practice helps enterprises get more from Splunk SIEM, SOAR and AI-driven security operations, and this Riyadh-based architect leads that delivery. Projects run from discovery and design through implementation and ongoing operations. CISOs and IT leaders treat you as a trusted advisor on complex, multi-functional security initiatives. Tailored Splunk security architectures are planned, designed and implemented to reduce risk, improve threat detection and response, and show measurable business value. Automation and AI are applied to security operations to speed up incident response and sharpen detection. Scoping, effort estimation and statements of work are part of the advisory role, as are documentation standards for complex deployments. Advanced simulation environments support troubleshooting of difficult platform issues. Team members build their skills under your mentoring in the Plan, Design, Implement and Optimize (PDIO) methodology, and customer feedback flows back to Product Management. Expect to bring a university degree with 8+ years of experience and expert-level Splunk certification such as Splunk Certified Architect or Splunk Certified Consultant.
