Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) is a sophisticated SIEM built atop Splunk’s data platform with lots of moving parts. We help thousands of customers as they identify and protect their assets from cyber threats, all over the world. On any given day, our software needs to handle thousands of users, petabytes of data, and unique usage patterns across different deployment topologies.

• A constant stream of new things to learn. You'll learn how our whole stack works, from code compilation to log/metric observation in the wild. We're also exploring new technologies, and seeking new ways to make our ecosystem more developer-friendly.
• Impact. We give our engineers an environment in which they can contribute from day one while also providing opportunities for learning and growth.
• Skilled and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support. We are an engineering and product-focused company. Our engineers take a leading role in designing, architecting, building and testing our product.
• Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the equation.
• A stable, collaborative and supportive work environment. We are totally remote friendly. You can choose to work from a Splunk location or you can be in any US time zone and work with the rest of the team around the globe.
• Work-life balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you to have a successful time outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate an outstanding environment.
