  • Implement zero-trust architectures and manage firewall policies integrated with VPN solutions.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for complex network security and connectivity troubleshooting.
  • Monitor system logs and performance metrics 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 like Tailscale and WireGuard.
  • Proficiency in Linux-based infrastructure management and network security systems.
  • Ability to develop automation and CI/CD workflows using Python or similar languages.
  • Experience with dynamic routing, network segmentation, SIEM logging, and zero-trust architectures.
