Remote Information Technology Site Lead Jobs

Build our future together

We’re looking for a hands-on leader to own the platforms that give our security teams visibility across the enterprise. You’ll lead a team supporting the Security Monitoring function. The team builds and maintains the Splunk log ingestion pipeline, RBAC, searches, reporting, and dashboards. It also supports the systems that feed our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform, which correlates it all.

This is a player-coach role, roughly 50/50 technical work and team leadership. You’ll lead a mixed team of employees and vendor staff and act as the escalation point when monitoring platforms or security incidents need senior attention. You’ll also explain complex technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

At Regeneron, our SIEM has grown tremendously, and we support business functions beyond security, including Finance, IT, Manufacturing, and Research. We cautiously push the boundaries of the product, evaluating cutting-edge technology in our test environment and deploying capabilities that reshape how Regeneron and other users think about a SIEM.
