TL;DR · Senior Network Security Architect

The Senior Network Security Architect joins the Enterprise Network Architecture team to design and implement robust network protection frameworks. This role involves building firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and VPNs while partnering with security teams to integrate identity-driven access control and Zero Trust policies. You will develop network-level isolation for autonomous AI workloads, migrate flat office networks toward east-west segmentation, and drive the adoption of security products at scale. Key responsibilities include creating architectural roadmaps, conducting security audits, and performing penetration tests. Required skills include proficiency in Python, Ruby, or Go for infrastructure automation, knowledge of NIST CSF, CIS controls, and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, and experience with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. You must possess deep expertise in routing, switching, and encryption services to solve complex security problems.

What you'll do

  • Build and implement network protection frameworks including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and VPNs.
  • Partner with security teams to implement identity-driven access control and Zero Trust policies.
  • Enable and scale internal security products and tooling for org-wide production use.
  • Design network-level isolation and segmentation models for autonomous and agentic AI workloads.
  • Transition internal office and lab networks from flat models to explicit east-west segmentation.
  • Research, evaluate, and recommend security solutions and technologies to enhance network posture.
  • Conduct security audits and penetration tests to identify and remediate network vulnerabilities.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, security policies, and multi-functional feasibility reviews.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI, Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent experience.
  • 12+ years of experience in building, managing, and supporting large-scale hybrid networks on the foundations of security.
  • Experience developing automation technology with Python, Ruby, Go, or other languages used in infrastructure automation.
  • Advanced knowledge of NIST CSF, CIS controls, or MITRE ATT&CK frameworks.
  • Strong knowledge of networking protocols and encryption services and how these serve elevated security posture for a network.
  • Experience evaluating and testing new vendor platforms and in-house network initiatives for security issues.
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and their respective security practices and services.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with identity/IAM and product security teams to turn security capabilities into org-wide standards.
