Corporate Vice President - Senior Network Security Engineer
About The Position
The Senior Network Security Engineer will design, build, and operate secure network infrastructure across on-premises and cloud environments. This technical leadership role focuses on modernizing network security, transitioning from traditional perimeter models toward zero trust, and delivering consistent, auditable, automated controls through infrastructure as code. The role spans hands-on troubleshooting and cloud network architecture, as well as developing and deploying Terraform modules through CI/CD pipelines. The successful candidate will work across data center, branch, and public cloud environments; partner with cloud, application, SOC, and compliance teams; contribute to network incident response; and document architecture, standards, and runbooks. The position also includes mentoring junior engineers. The employer states that candidates will be selected based on expertise and career trajectory rather than a checklist of tools or a specific number of years.
