Overview

We are seeking a Sr. SIEM AI Architect to design and build a cloud-native security analytics and observability platform. This is a hands-on architecture role responsible for designing scalable telemetry pipelines, security monitoring capabilities, and enterprise SIEM solutions across modern cloud environments.

This is not a SIEM administrator or project management role. The ideal candidate is a senior technical architect who can design end-to-end solutions, make architectural decisions, and work closely with security, cloud, platform, and engineering teams to deliver highly scalable, resilient systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement enterprise-scale SIEM and observability platforms.
  • Architect scalable log collection, telemetry ingestion, and data processing pipelines from cloud platforms, applications, APIs, and security tools.
  • Develop standardized telemetry models, data normalization, and enrichment strategies.
  • Build high-throughput streaming architectures for security analytics and real-time monitoring.
  • Design detection capabilities, correlation rules, behavioral analytics, alerting, and risk scoring frameworks.
  • Support multi-cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Develop resilient, highly available platform architectures with strong scalability, security, and governance.
  • Partner with Security, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Data Engineering, and Application Development teams to deliver enterprise observability solutions.
  • Provide technical leadership, architecture guidance, documentation, and best practices for SIEM and observability initiatives.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in SIEM architecture, security engineering, cloud security, observability, or platform engineering.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise SIEM platforms such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic, Chronicle, or similar technologies.
  • Experience designing large-scale log ingestion, telemetry, and security analytics platforms.
  • Strong experience with cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
  • Experience with streaming technologies such as Kafka, Kinesis, Event Hub, Pub/Sub, Flink, or similar.
  • Experience with OpenTelemetry and modern observability frameworks.
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes, microservices, distributed systems, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Experience building detection logic, correlation rules, alerting, and security monitoring capabilities.
  • Strong understanding of scalable platform design, security best practices, and enterprise architecture.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with AI/ML-driven anomaly detection or behavioral analytics.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and platform automation.
  • Knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK, threat detection methodologies, and security analytics.
  • Experience building enterprise-scale, multi-tenant SaaS platforms.

Ideal Candidate

  • Senior hands-on architect with strong SIEM and cloud expertise.
  • Experienced designing scalable telemetry and observability platforms.
  • Comfortable working across security, cloud, engineering, and DevOps organizations.
  • Able to balance technical architecture leadership with hands-on implementation.
