This role prioritizes project delivery and engineering capacity while keeping the individual connected to operations and on-call. It is intentionally designed to strengthen execution bandwidth for the team’s highest-priority work without creating near-term coverage gaps. If you enjoy owning meaningful delivery outcomes, applying solid engineering judgment, and supporting a high-performing operations team, this position is built for that balance.

The Infrastructure Security Firewalls Service is a global team responsible for the design, operation, and continuous improvement of critical network security infrastructure that protects Koch companies. We support both enterprise Perimeter security and Process Control Network (PCN/OT) environments across multiple business units. Our work directly enables safe, reliable operations and business growth while managing risk.

• Participate in a sustainable on-call rotation and help improve response quality and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Identify practical opportunities to improve delivery processes, documentation, and operational efficiency.
• Share knowledge, mentor peers where appropriate, and help reduce risk of knowledge silos.
• Apply Principle Based Management principles—focusing on value creation, customer focus, and stewardship—in daily decisions and interactions.

• Hands-on experience supporting complex enterprise network security environments, including firewalls (Palo Alto and/or Fortinet preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to deliver project-based and engineering work (design, configuration, implementation) in addition to operational support.
• Experience with network protocols and concepts (TCP/IP, routing, VPN, proxy, segmentation)
• Ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels
• Willingness and ability to participate in an on-call rotation.

• Direct experience with Palo Alto Networks (NGFW, Panorama, Prisma, Global Protect) and/or Fortinet (Forti Gate, Forti Manager) in enterprise or OT environments.
• Track record of successfully delivering network security projects or complex change packages from design through implementation.
• Experience supporting Process Control Network / OT security environments or industrial environments.
• Familiarity with observability tools (Grafana, Splunk, or equivalent), SD-WAN, Cisco ISE, or related secure connectivity technologies.
• Practical experience improving delivery processes or reducing friction in operational workflows.
• Relevant certifications (PCNSE, NSE, CISSP, or equivalent) are a plus.
