• The Adaptive Network Infrastructure Security Engineer focuses on implementing, configuring, and maintaining a modern, self‑on, AI-optimized network that serves as the transport backbone for the organization’s enterprise AI Fabric. The engineer will be responsible for deploying Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) capabilities, enforcing a Zero Trust architecture, and configuring virtual and physical devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls. As a hands‑on technical expert, this position ensures network security, performance, and scalability for AI workloads and standard enterprise traffic.

• Zero Trust & SASE Implementation:
  • Implement and enforce Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) policies aligned to NIST 800-207 and CMMC compliance requirements.
  • Configure network segmentation, micro‑segmentation, and least‑privilege access across environments for users, devices, and AI agents.
  • Deploy and manage Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Firewall‑as‑a‑Service (FWaaS) within the SASE framework.
  • Manage ongoing performance tuning and policy management for all SASE technologies.
• AI Fabric Network Operations:
  • Maintain low‑latency, high‑throughput network paths optimized for AI model inference traffic, LLM API calls, and real‑time agent communication.
  • Implement AI‑aware Quality of Service (QoS) policies that prioritise AI workload traffic alongside standard enterprise traffic.
  • Monitor and optimise network performance using telemetry data to proactively identify and remediate bottlenecks.
• Core Networking & Automation:
  • Provide Tier II/III support to end‑users and junior technicians for campus network and telecommunications infrastructure.
  • Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Ansible, Terraform, and Python‑based scripting to eliminate manual configuration.
  • Configure network hardware and software, including both physical and virtual infrastructure across cloud environments.
  • Deploy observability platforms to enable proactive incident detection and automated remediation workflows.
• Compliance & Governance:
  • Support network architectures and operations to maintain compliance with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2.
  • Manage secrets, credentials, and sensitive configuration data securely.
  • Execute tenant‑to‑tenant migrations, workload placement, and cross‑cloud connectivity.

• Education:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Network Engineering, or related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience from which comparable knowledge and job skills can be obtained. (One year related experience may be substituted for one year of education, if degree is required)
• Experience:
  • 5+ years of hands‑on experience supporting enterprise infrastructure, network engineering, and security operations.
  • Experience with ticketing systems, remote support tools, and troubleshooting in a corporate IT environment.
  • Experience implementing Zero Trust architecture, SASE platforms, and Identity and Access Management (IAM).
  • Hands‑on background with network automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Python) and Infrastructure as Code methodologies.
