The Security Engineer departing this role has sole responsibility for maintaining and improving the existing Splunk instance and infrastructure at the center of 100% of Vrbo’s security operations. As we continue our efforts to merge Vrbo security operations into Cyber Defense and CSIRT, it is essential that this infrastructure remains stable and functional. In addition, EGS is moving to make much greater use of Splunk to support our day-to-day operations for investigations spanning all of EG.

As we move forward, we will need a strong engineer who can take point on extending the things that we want to beg, borrow, and steal from the Vrbo instance over to a global Splunk architecture, but who can also keep up with the day-to-day operations of leading and maintaining what we already have.
