Project Cloud Integrated Infrastructure Engineer - SOC, Network Engineer/Systems Integrator

Join our Deloitte AI & Engineering team to transform technology platforms, drive innovation, and help make a significant impact on our clients’ success. You’ll work alongside talented professionals reimagining and reengineering operations and processes that are critical to businesses. Your contributions can help clients improve financial performance, accelerate new digital ventures, and fuel growth through innovation.

Work You’ll Do 

As a Project Cloud Integrated Infrastructure Engineer III on the Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure team, you will be responsible for integrating Network Monitoring devices that analyze technology systems which include Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) as well as on-premises and cloud enterprise networks. This includes installing devices for analysis of device communications, forensic analysis of Windows or Linux systems and servers, timeline analysis of activity on these endpoints, user permission and authentication audits, log analysis, and malware identification/triage. An ideal candidate for this position will be a proactive self-starter who has experience with network engineering, systems integration, and troubleshooting network device installation issues using the OSI model. The ideal candidate will be familiar with configuring VLANS, Trunking, SPANs, routing, ACLS, and network segmentation. The ideal candidate will also have trouble shooting skills to include resolving SPAN misconfigurations, VLAN issues, routing issues, and TAP failures.

This position will eventually roll into a SOC Analyst position which requires a familiarity with Network monitoring tools, Windows, and Linux operating systems (OS) mechanics including filesystem structures, disk and memory forensics, cyber aware Operational Technology or Control Systems operators, commonly used mechanisms for maintaining security persistence, privilege escalation, and lateral data movement, operating system log analysis, and triaging suspicious file artifacts for unusual behavior. Candidate should also be familiar with common categories and formats of host-based indicators of compromise (IOCs) and how/where they can be leveraged to identify known-bad files/activity on an endpoint. Candidate will utilize the frameworks and tools to synthesize the entire attack life cycle along with creating detailed reports on how impacts may or have occurred. 

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, configure, and maintain network monitoring devices into an OT environment
• Troubleshoot network connectivity, traffic visibility, and sensor integration issues in OT environment
• Update and/or create Network diagrams using existing network documentation, network traffic, and/or physical access to equipment
• Support vulnerability management and security assessments using Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and NIST Security Controls
• Utilize asset mapping tools to verify asset information, ownership, and device attributes to support cybersecurity, operational, and compliance requirements
• Integrate with SOC team in operating and performing duties in a Security Operations Center (SOC) to provide a secure environment that facilitates monitoring, incident response, malware analysis, and threat hunting activities
• Develop and utilize analytics on the security information and event management (SIEM) platform to monitor for security alerts and coordinate vulnerability assessments and artifact collection across servers and network devices
• Analyze network traffic and system logs to identify malicious activities, vulnerabilities exploited, and methods used, and develop processes to enhance SOC response and efficiency

A successful candidate would possess:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to lead projects or workstreams
