hello world. i’m the manager of the search and indexing team at splunk. our team is responsible for the amorphous category of “data processing and storage.” this includes such tasks as character set normalization, grouping multiple consecutive lines into logical events, timestamp extraction, metadata extraction, indexing and storage on the input side. on the retrieval side, we maintain the APIs to access the index and all the various transformations that fall under the label “reporting,” like automatic key/value extraction methods that take raw text and produce semi-structured data. we have more problems to solve than people to solve them, so we’re looking to grow our team in the near future. below are some of the positions that we’re hiring for, but if you’re smart, clever and creative, we probably have a spot for you.
