Network Security Engineer - Remote

Job Summary

The Network Security Engineer is a key member of our Cybersecurity team, working closely with our Network Engineering, Cloud, and Security Operations groups to safeguard the organization’s hybrid infrastructure. Reporting to the IT Security Manager, this role plays an essential part in designing and improving the network security controls that protect our on-premises, cloud, and containerized environments.

A typical day in this role includes partnering with network engineers to review and strengthen our network security posture and segmentation strategies, collaborating with cloud teams on secure connectivity and access patterns, evaluating network telemetry with our SIEM engineer to ensure proper coverage and alerting for our SOC, and participating in architecture discussions to ensure that network security is built into new initiatives from the start.

The engineer will spend time reviewing configurations, developing recommendations for network security improvement, and leading ongoing projects aimed at maturing our networking defenses across data centers, cloud platforms, and production environments.

This role may require occasional travel and on-site collaboration for annual planning sessions or major incident response activities. As part of an evolving and highly collaborative security program, the Network Security Engineer adds significant value by shaping secure network architecture, strengthening detection capabilities, reducing attack surface across the enterprise, and helping the business maintain a resilient, reliable, and secure technology ecosystem.

Act as a key contributor to the organization’s threat detection strategy by ensuring appropriate network telemetry is collected, normalized, and integrated into the SIEM. Work closely with the SIEM engineer and SOC to improve alerting fidelity and visibility across the network.

Drive continuous improvement efforts by reviewing existing configurations and architectures, identifying weaknesses or opportunities, and developing actionable plans to enhance security, resilience, and operational efficiency.

Support incident response activities
, providing deep network-level expertise during investigations, helping contain threats, and contributing to root-cause analysis and long-term remediation.

Develop and maintain comprehensive network security documentation
, including architectural diagrams, standards, change records, and incident reports that support audit readiness and ongoing operational excellence.

Collaborate cross-functionally with security, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure consistent application of network security controls and to promote a culture of security-first design.

Provide mentorship and guidance to junior security staff and partner teams as needed. This role does not have direct reports but may provide technical leadership on projects and influence others across the organization.
