The Role

Wat ga je als Elastic Security & Observability engineer bij onze klant Defensie doen?
Jij gaat als Elastic observability specialist een belangrijke bijdrage leveren aan het ontwikkelen van observability oplossingen voor applicatie en Infrastructuur beheerders/ontwikkelaars. Bij het ontwikkelen van deze oplossingen denken je samen met de klant end-to-end na over de uitdaging: hoe verzamelen je automatisch data uit gemeenschappelijke databronnen, hoe slaan je deze efficiënt op in Elasticsearch, hoe presenteer je deze informatie aan de gebruiker en welke acties moeten ondernomen worden om de rauwe data om te zetten in bruikbare informatie.

Jou taak is werken aan UI's en API's in Kibana voor observability-gebruikers. Je werkt samen met het UI-team en productbeheer om hoogwaardige, intuïtieve en innovatieve UI's en robuuste API's te bouwen om de ervaring te stimuleren.

Daarnaast werk je voornamelijk aan IT operations data analytics en je zet deze om naar (Elastic) Rules ten behoeve van het IT operationeel support. Daarnaast ondersteun je het IT Operations team met het verder automatiseren van de (zero touch) deployment van de IT Operations product suite middels Ansible.

Verder wordt je verantwoordelijk voor het implementeren van de Security modules binnen Elastic.

Daaronder valt bijvoorbeeld het analyseren van data tegen SIEM regels om bepaalde activiteit te detecteren om zo een hogere mate van beveiliging neer te zetten.
