About the Job

Requirements

At least 8 years of network security engineering experience securing enterprise and cloud environments.
Deep, hands-on expertise with next-generation firewalls, including Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, AWS Network Firewall, web application firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, network access control, 802.1X, public key infrastructure, virtual private networks, and zero-trust network access solutions such as Zscaler, Netskope, or Prisma Access.
Strong understanding of TCP/IP, Border Gateway Protocol, Open Shortest Path First, virtual local area networks, 802.1X, Transport Layer Security, public key infrastructure, and cloud networking security principles across AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure.
Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and automation tools including Terraform, Python, continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, and REST APIs.
Experience with network security monitoring, threat detection, security operations tooling, security information and event management, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and vulnerability management platforms.
Proven experience supporting major compliance initiatives, including NIST 800-53, CSF 2.0, and ISO 27001, with control implementation and evidence collection.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain secure hybrid and multi-cloud network architectures across AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and CloudWAN.
Enforce zero-trust access controls and network segmentation across corporate, data center, laboratory, and edge environments.
Develop and maintain related policies, standards, and architecture diagrams.
Own and operate next-generation firewall platforms, managing policy architecture, segmentation, network address translation, URL filtering, Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security decryption, and threat-prevention tuning.
Architect, operate, and own the lifecycle of secure remote-access solutions, including virtual private networks, zero-trust network access, and site-to-site tunnels.
Ensure high availability, certificate-based authentication, and identity-provider integration using Security Assertion Markup Language and Entra ID.
Drive automation and Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, Python, continuous integration and continuous delivery, and REST APIs for configuration management, firewall policies, and security baselines.
Integrate large-language-model tools to streamline operational tasks and reduce manual work.
Oversee security operations, including 24/7 network security monitoring, traffic analysis, threat detection, vulnerability assessments, and remediation.
Support compliance requirements by conducting security reviews for new projects and infrastructure changes.
Drive 802.1X and certificate-based network access control initiatives across wired and wireless environments.
Collaborate with Product Security, site reliability engineering, information technology, and Software Engineering teams on cross-functional security initiatives.

Desired Qualifications

Experience in autonomous vehicle, robotics, information technology/operational technology, or automotive environments.
PCNSE, AWS Security Specialty, or CCNA certification.
Experience experimenting with or deploying artificial-intelligence or machine-learning-based security capabilities, such as anomaly detection, behavioral analytics, or large-language-model-driven copilots, in network or cloud security workflows.
