Meet the Team

Join Splunk’s Framework & Runtime Services team, where we’re building the next generation of internal developer platforms that power Splunk Cloud. Our team focuses on making it easier for engineering teams to build, deploy, and manage services across multi-tenant Kubernetes environments, spanning public clouds and on-premises infrastructure.

As Splunk continues to modernize its platform and expand Kubernetes-based deployments, our work plays a critical role in improving developer productivity, simplifying service onboarding, and accelerating the delivery of new capabilities to customers. Our tooling and frameworks have already helped enable the deployment of more than 70 services, reducing manual effort and operational complexity.

We’re a collaborative team that values technical ownership, knowledge sharing, and practical problem-solving. You’ll have the opportunity to work on high-impact engineering challenges, influence platform architecture, and build solutions adopted by teams across Splunk. If you enjoy creating tools and platforms that make other engineers more productive, we’d love to hear from you.

Your Impact

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Framework & Runtime Services team, you’ll design and develop the foundational tools, frameworks, and services that enable Splunk engineering teams to build and deploy applications efficiently at scale. You’ll work on distributed systems and Kubernetes-based infrastructure, helping simplify how services are developed, deployed, and operated across cloud and on-premises environments. Your contributions will directly influence developer productivity, platform reliability, and the speed at which Splunk delivers new capabilities.
