Role Overview

This position will advance the enterprise Zero Trust micro-segmentation program.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, validate, and deploy least-privilege segmentation policies, ensuring changes can be verified via traffic telemetry before and after enforcement.
• Analyze traffic flow telemetry and delay metrics to validate platform health, identify regressions, and distinguish policy issues from platform or vendor constraints.
• Lead incident response and vendor escalation with engineering, addressing capacity constraints, SaaS scaling events, and maintenance windows.
• Partner with Network Engineering, application teams, and platform owners to coordinate production changes and policy deployments.
• Maintain and evolve security standards, baselines, and deployment guidance for enterprise micro-segmentation.
• Support large-scale onboarding and migration efforts, including SaaS cutovers and phased policy enforcement.
• Communicate technical risks, findings, and recommendations to stakeholders and leadership.

Technical Skills

• Hands-on experience with Micro-Segmentation, Zero Trust architecture, and lateral-movement prevention.
• Experience with Illumio or an equivalent segmentation platform, including VEN agents, SaaS policy engines, and enforcement modes.
• Proficiency with SIEM tools for traffic and telemetry analysis, including time-based analysis, distributions, and baselining.
• Understanding of Linux and Windows server fundamentals, application communication patterns, and network flows.
• Experience with production change management and incident response protocols.

Preferred Qualifications

• Security certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or other comparable security architecture or Zero Trust-focused certifications.
• Familiarity with Azure cloud environments and enterprise IAM concepts like SaaS authentication and RBAC.
