Job Description: Network Security Engineer II

Job Summary

We are seeking a Network Security Engineer II to join our infrastructure team. This role requires experience in the security space for someone who can seamlessly navigate traditional hardware, software-defined networking, and advanced load-balancing solutions.

You will be the primary administrator for our high-availability security stack, with a specific focus on Cisco (ASA/Firepower/ISE), Palo Alto, F5 BIG-IP, and VMware NSX.

Key Responsibilities

  • Multi-Vendor Firewall Management: Lead the migration, configuration, and maintenance of Cisco ASA (Classic) and Firepower (FTD) systems, while managing a robust Palo Alto environment via Panorama.

  • Application Delivery & Security: Design and manage F5 BIG-IP solutions, focusing on LTM (Local Traffic Manager) for load balancing and ASM/WAF (Application Security Manager) for protecting web applications.

  • Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Implement and manage micro-segmentation policies and virtualized security services within VMware NSX (T/V) environments.

  • Legacy to Next-Gen Migration: Architect strategies to transition legacy Cisco ASA rulesets to Cisco Firepower or Palo Alto NGFWs without service disruption.

  • Tier 3 Support: Act as the highest escalation point for complex network outages, security breaches, or performance degradation across the global fabric.

  • Provide exceptional customer support via phone and ticketing systems.

  • Own level-appropriate customer requests and issues, seeing them through to resolution.
