Splunk Administrator

Laurel, MD

🔒 Clearance & Citizenship Requirements

This position requires U.S. Citizenship and an active TS/SCI security clearance with Full Scope Polygraph. Candidates who do not currently hold these credentials will not be considered.

Shape how real threats get detected. This isn't just another admin gig — it's your chance to own Splunk across a national security program at one of the highest-clearance sites in the country. You'll optimize logs that matter, dashboards that drive action, and alerts that help protect lives.

Stable contract. Minimal churn. One interview + tech conversation → decision in 3–5 days.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own the Splunk architecture that supports mission visibility
  • Reduce alert noise, optimize search latency, and design dashboards that drive real-world action
  • Collaborate with mission users to improve their insight-to-decision pipeline
  • Tune ingestion and parsing logic to extract the signal from the noise — faster

Who This Is For

You're a systems thinker who wants your skills to actually matter. You've worked in classified environments and know how to translate logs into intelligence. If you want autonomy, respect, and a high bar for tech and mission impact — you'll feel at home here.

Required

  • Active TS/SCI clearance with Full-Scope Polygraph
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (four additional years of SA experience may substitute)
  • Cyberspace Workforce Improvement Program (CWIP) IAT Level 1
  • Linux systems administration experience in classified/secure environments
  • Splunk administration experience

Bonus Points

  • Splunk Core / Admin / Architect certifications
  • Familiarity with Nifi, ELK, or Government Cloud environments

  • 9% 401(k) contribution
  • 4 weeks PTO + 11 federal holidays
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid training and certifications
