Splunk’s Cloud Infrastructure organization builds robust and resilient platform solutions for hosting Splunk’s enterprise software. The teams are fast-paced and use state-of-the-art technology.

Splunk‘s Cloud Infrastructure team helps scale and secure our new global SaaS offerings.  Our Engineers are experienced in designing and building a secure network infrastructure and services that provide a critical foundation to Splunk’s Cloud SaaS platform.

• Work with Cloud providers on integrating their networking products into our ecosystem. You will be developing and extending a control plane to scale and secure cloud networks on various cloud computing platforms (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure).
• Drive for automation. You are passionate about adopting and mastering new technologies that will help you automate routine tasks and free up time for innovation. You will be utilizing a variety of languages used in systems automation, ranging from Go/Python/Bash scripting to Terraform.
• Knowledge of technical excellence. You’ll routinely use continuous delivery, testing and security best practices.
• Operational excellence. Data excites you and you make decisions based on numbers rather than assumptions.

• Opportunities to develop and grow as an engineer. We are always expanding into new areas, working with open-source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
• A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
• Breadth and depth. You are interested to work on an area that dynamically scales to meet the needs of Splunk’s cloud offering. You want to go deep into optimizing how we automate every manual process and tedious task we encounter.
• Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe that mentors help both sides of the equation.
• A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs for the team. We keep it real by being open and honest. We are a collaborative team that understands the value in open communication—it’s how we interact with our customers.
• Balance. We don’t expect people to work 12 hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. Want to work from home sometimes? No problem. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
