TL;DR · Senior Network Security Engineer

As a Sr. Network Security Engineer on the Network Security Engineering team, you will provide subject matter expertise in network security, firewalls, and zero-trust architectures. You will own the full lifecycle of enterprise remote access VPN infrastructure, including designing, deploying, managing, and troubleshooting solutions across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms. Your daily work involves managing Linux-based systems, configuring network security appliances, and developing automation and CI/CD workflows using Python to streamline policy enforcement and monitoring. You will utilize technologies such as Tailscale, WireGuard, IPsec, and SSL-based implementations while managing dynamic routing protocols like eBGP, iBGP, and OSPF. The role focuses on solving complex connectivity issues and ensuring the reliability of remote access environments through proactive maintenance, performance tuning, and the creation of custom tools to secure enterprise infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Architect, design, and deploy end-to-end enterprise remote access VPN solutions using Tailscale, WireGuard, IPsec, and SSL.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of remote access infrastructure including policy definition, client distribution, and performance optimization.
  • Configure and support VPN clients across multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
  • Manage Linux-based infrastructure and network security systems with ownership over configuration and custom tooling.
  • Develop Python-based automation and CI/CD workflows to streamline deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of security systems.
  • Implement zero-trust architectures and manage firewall policies integrated with VPN solutions.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for complex network security and remote connectivity troubleshooting.
  • Monitor VPN performance and logs to proactively identify issues and formalize change management processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field and 5+ years of network security experience, or 8+ years of experience without a degree.
  • At least 3 years of experience securing networks, IT infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and/or APIs.
  • Expertise in designing, deploying, and managing enterprise remote access VPN solutions using Tailscale, WireGuard, IPsec, and SSL.
  • Proficiency in Linux systems engineering and managing network security appliances with zero-trust architectures.
  • Ability to develop automation tools and CI/CD workflows using Python or similar languages.
  • Experience with dynamic routing (eBGP, iBGP, OSPF, SD-WAN), network segmentation, and SIEM logging/alerting.
  • Ability to read and review Go code to understand upstream changes in projects.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or eligible for required export control authorizations.
