The role combines technical depth with customer-facing leadership, requiring you to assess unfamiliar environments and develop practical implementation strategies.

You will help organizations strengthen identity, endpoint, vulnerability, logging, backup, and access controls while supporting compliance-driven security requirements.

Working closely with customer IT teams, vendors, and internal specialists, you will troubleshoot complex issues and ensure solutions are thoroughly validated and documented.

The position also offers opportunities to mentor other engineers and turn successful implementations into repeatable standards, automation, and scalable practices.

This is a remote U.S.-based opportunity with approximately 10-25% travel and a strong focus on mission-critical, security-conscious technology environments.

Accountabilities:

You will take ownership of technical implementation work across varied customer environments, partnering with compliance and technical stakeholders to deliver secure, reliable, and well-documented solutions.

• Work directly with customer IT teams, service providers, and vendors to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues.
• Validate completed implementations and create accurate configuration records, technical diagrams, evidence, and operational runbooks.
• Mentor and guide other implementation engineers while converting repeatable technical work into standards, scripts, automation, and scalable processes.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate brings senior-level experience across business IT infrastructure and security, with strong hands-on capabilities in both Microsoft and Google environments.

• Solid knowledge of networking, firewalls, VPNs, identity and access management, logging, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, patching, and backup systems.
• Demonstrated ability to lead customer implementations and make sound technical decisions independently.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical decisions in clear, accessible language.
• Ability to produce accurate technical documentation and operate effectively in remote, asynchronous environments.
• U.S. citizenship and eligibility for access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
