Job Description Job Description We are seeking a Senior Network Security Engineer for an operations-first role supporting enterprise network security infrastructure across on-premises, remote-access, hybrid-cloud, and cloud-connected environments. This is not primarily an architecture/design role. The priority is a hands-on engineer who can administer, configure, maintain, troubleshoot, patch, upgrade, back up, validate, document, and operate production security platforms with minimal ramp-up. Firewall operations: hands-on Cisco and Palo Alto firewall administration, rule changes, NAT, troubleshooting, policy cleanup, upgrades, backups, logging, and production support. VPN / remote access: support for remote-access VPN, site-to-site VPN, user connectivity issues, certificates, authentication flows, and after-hours troubleshooting. RSA / MFA administration: RSA SecurID or equivalent MFA operations, token support, server administration, user troubleshooting, VPN integration, certificates, patching, backups, logs, and monitoring. Day-to-day operations: ticket resolution, monitoring alerts, health checks, change requests, incident support, maintenance windows, operational reporting, and customer support. Configuration and administration: installing, configuring, maintaining, patching, upgrading, backing up, validating, and troubleshooting assigned security platforms. Production troubleshooting: strong TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewall logs, packet captures, VPN authentication, certificate, and connectivity troubleshooting. Documentation and process discipline: SOPs, runbooks, diagrams, change records, rollback plans, evidence collection, knowledge transfer, and formal change management. Federal/customer environment maturity: Public Trust eligibility, regulated-environment documentation, customer support, cross-team coordination, and comfort working with government stakeholders. The best candidate can credibly say: "I have operated enterprise Cisco and Palo Alto firewalls in production, handled firewall rule changes and troubleshooting, supported VPN users and site-to-site tunnels, administered or supported RSA/MFA tied to VPN access, followed formal change-management processes, maintained documentation and backups, and can step into daily operational support with minimal ramp-up." Scope and Role Boundaries Primary platforms include Cisco ASA/Firepower/FTD/FMC, Palo Alto NGFW/Panorama/GlobalProtect, remote-access and site-to-site VPN, RSA SecurID Authentication Manager or comparable MFA, monitoring/logging/SIEM integrations, and related network security controls.

Network Access Control & Secure Connectivity • Administer Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for Network Access Control (NAC), 802.1X authentication, RADIUS/TACACS+, device profiling, and guest access. • Manage and maintain VPN infrastructure (Cisco AnyConnect / Secure Access and site-to-site IPSec tunnels), supporting certificate-based authentication and split-tunnel configurations. • Configure and secure Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN environments, enforcing application-aware policies, traffic segmentation, and encrypted transport. • Administer Cisco Umbrella / Secure Access DNS-layer security, category-based controls, and web filtering policies. Architecture, Compliance, & Change Management • Collaborate with Cloud, Infrastructure, and Information Security teams to implement network segmentation, zero-trust controls, and security standards aligned with PCI-DSS, SOX, and NIST frameworks. • Author, review, and execute ITIL-aligned change management requests, presenting to Change Advisory Boards (CAB) and conducting post-implementation reviews. • Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including firewall rulesets, network security architecture diagrams, runbooks, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Required Qualifications • 5 or more years of hands-on experience in network security engineering, enterprise firewall administration, and perimeter security (CCNP Security-level expertise). • 3 or more years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing Palo Alto Networks NGFWs and Panorama. • Solid hands-on experience administering Cisco ASA and Firepower (FTD/FMC) firewall environments, access control policies, and platform upgrades. • Strong working knowledge of Cisco ISE for NAC, 802.1X, RADIUS/TACACS+, and device profiling. • Experience configuring and troubleshooting enterprise VPN solutions (Cisco AnyConnect, Secure Access, IPSec site-to-site tunnels). • Solid understanding of core networking protocols, routing, and security concepts (TCP/IP, BGP, EIGRP, ACLs, NAT, SSL/TLS inspection, network micro-segmentation). • Experience working within an ITIL-based change management framework. • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship. Preferred Qualifications • Industry certifications such as Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE), Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP Security), or CCIE Security. • Familiarity with financial regulatory frameworks and compliance standards (e.g., FFIEC, PCI-DSS, SOX, NIST CSF). • Experience with Microsoft Azure networking and cloud security (Azure Firewall, NSGs, Virtual WAN, ExpressRoute). • Experience utilizing automation scripts (e.g., Python, Ansible) for firewall configuration and policy management. Core Skills & Attributes • Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and root-cause diagnostic abilities for complex network security issues. • High accountability and attention to detail when executing production changes and maintaining documentation. • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional IT teams, security leaders, and external auditors. • Self-driven approach to continuous learning and staying current with evolving cybersecurity threats. Flexible work from home options available.
