About The Position

Provide Business-as-Usual (BAU) support for the Network Assets Access Control team, focused on Network Access Control (NAC) operations. This role supplements existing resources who are currently engaged in project work and ensures consistent enforcement of network access policies.

Requirements

• Core NAC experience (1–3 years hands-on) with at least one enterprise NAC platform (Forescout, Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, or other comparable NAC solutions).
• Solid understanding of Network Access Control concepts.
• Solid understanding of 802.1X authentication and authorization flows.
• Solid understanding of switchport-level authentication and enforcement (allow/block devices).
• General networking fundamentals including VLANs, basic switching concepts, and network device connectivity.
• Familiarity with enterprise network environments and standard operational practices.
• ~1–3 years of hands-on experience working with NAC products.
• Practical, hands-on NAC experience is mandatory (can have been part of a broader network engineer role).
• Coachability: Open to feedback, willing to learn client-specific tools and processes quickly.
• Strong communication skills to work effectively with leads and stakeholders in the US and offshore.
• Ability to operate in a focused, specialized role (primarily NAC, not a generalist-only position).
• Team-oriented mindset and willingness to collaborate (e.g., whiteboarding sessions, quick consults with NAC lead).

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Support day-to-day NAC operations for the Network Assets Access Control team.
• Monitor and manage NAC policies and access decisions across the enterprise network.

• Perform routine NAC tasks within a defined and limited scope, following established processes and runbooks.
• Collaborate closely with the NAC lead (Nilesh) and other network/security engineers to troubleshoot and resolve NAC-related issues.
• Participate in knowledge transfer and cross-training sessions to ramp up quickly on client-specific processes and tools.
• Provide input and feedback on NAC configurations, rules, and exception handling as needed.
