As a Principal Enterprise Network Security Architect within the Information Technology team, you will own the architectural blueprint and governance for a global network security footprint across hybrid environments. You will define enterprise-wide policies for segmentation, access control, and traffic inspection while integrating security into all layers of network design. The role involves identifying vulnerabilities, leading remediation efforts in on-prem and cloud environments, and serving as the ultimate escalation authority during critical events. You will build automation using scripting, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Ansible. Key technical requirements include expertise in Zero Trust architecture, firewall technologies, VPN, IDS/IPS, NAC, and micro-segmentation. You must also possess deep knowledge of routing, switching, TCP/IP protocols, and securing AI-enabled solutions involving LLM architectures, data flows, and API protection across AWS, Azure, or GCP platforms.
