Security Operations Center (SOC) Network Engineer/Systems Integrator - Secret Clearance - Naples, Italy

Deloitte • Arlington, VA

3d • $113,000 - $188,400 • Onsite

About The Position

Join Deloitte’s AI & Engineering team as a Project Cloud Integrated Infrastructure Engineer III on the Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure team. This role integrates network monitoring devices that analyze Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and on-premises and cloud enterprise networks. Work includes installing devices to analyze communications, conducting endpoint forensic and timeline analysis, reviewing user permissions and authentication, analyzing logs, and identifying or triaging malware. The position requires network engineering, systems integration, and troubleshooting installation issues using the OSI model, including VLAN, trunking, SPAN, routing, ACL, and network segmentation configurations.

The position is expected to transition into SOC Analyst work. This requires familiarity with network monitoring tools and Windows and Linux operating systems, including filesystem structures, disk and memory forensics, persistence mechanisms, privilege escalation, lateral movement, operating system log analysis, and suspicious file triage. The role uses frameworks and tools to synthesize the attack lifecycle and produces detailed reports on impacts and how they occurred or may occur.

The role is part of Deloitte’s Government & Public Services practice and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure offering. It follows the Project Delivery Talent Model, which focuses on delivering services for a current client need without additional business development or promotion expectations. Employment is tied to the project role, and the position is eligible for a benefits package competitive for project delivery-focused professionals. The role must be performed onsite 100% of the time in Naples, Italy.
