About This Role
We're partnering with a global organisation as they replace their legacy threat hunting and intelligence platform with Elastic to enhance efficiency and speed. The new solution will simplify data searching and correlation across large-scale telemetry datasets, enabling quick detection of enterprise threats. With the capacity to ingest approximately 80TB of data daily, it will leverage AI and machine learning technologies. The implementation plan includes testing use cases to ensure effective performance in a production environment while understanding existing customisations.
Your Responsibilities
We’re looking for passionate technologists who enjoy working in collaborative agile teams. You’ll need to be a clear, concise & engaging communicator with people on your team. We enjoy the big picture and the detail; we want people who excel at both.
Distributed is proud to be an equal opportunities employer. Employees and contractors, as well as prospective employees and contractors, will all be treated equally and fairly. Distributed is committed to ensuring no less favourable treatment is experienced by any current or prospective employee because of any of the protected characteristics under the UK Equality Act 2010 or equivalent local equality legislation.
