About The Position

The Cloud Network Security Engineer will collaborate with Product Owners, Applications Owners, Network and Security teams to design and deliver optimal solutions for large-scale app and infrastructure cloud solutions. Candidates should possess proficiency in both public and hybrid cloud models. Exceptional consulting skills and the ability to clearly derive desired states from customer requests are essential. The role also requires the ability to work with delivery teams. Importantly, this role is hands-on in delivery, requiring active involvement in the implementation and execution of security solutions. This is not a developer role. While we have a strong preference for candidates based in the local area, we are open to considering exceptionally qualified individuals for a remote position. Why is this position open: Repost of posting 8502 (new position on the team) as there have been updates to the required & preferred skills. DO NOT SUBMIT CANDIDATES THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO 8502 PREVIOUSLY. Adjustments from the previous posting - experience with Palo Alto Firewalls and Firewalls in AWS & Azure has been moved to a preferred skill.
