Required Skills

• Engineering, deploying, and sustaining the enterprise network security infrastructure-next-generation firewalls, SASE/ZTNA, and SD-WAN-to ensure availability, performance, and a defensible security posture.
• Operating and maintaining defensive platforms day-to-day, including configuration management, policy tuning, software/firmware lifecycle and patching, capacity planning, and health monitoring.
• Leading engineering projects end-to-end-requirements, design, testing, and implementation-for new and upgraded capabilities such as SASE/ZTNA and SD-WAN across enterprise and hybrid (on-premises and cloud) environments.
• Developing and maintaining secure configuration baselines, standard operating procedures, and engineering documentation, and automating repeatable configuration and operational tasks to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
• Translating threat intelligence and detection findings into infrastructure-level defensive improvements-firewall policy, segmentation, access control, and traffic inspection-to harden the environment against current adversary tactics.
• Collaborating with the SOC, logging and observability, and network operations teams, and with product vendors, to integrate capabilities, resolve issues, and align infrastructure with operational and mission requirements.
• Operating and supporting intrusion detection sensor infrastructure to ensure reliable security telemetry delivery to the SOC and logging/observability teams.
