Network Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a Microsegmentation Engineer to support a Zero Trust security initiative within a large enterprise environment. This role focuses on designing and implementing segmentation policies to secure application communication across data center and hybrid infrastructures.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong network security foundation, hands-on experience with microsegmentation platforms such as Illumio or Akamai Guardicore Segmentation, and the ability to evaluate application traffic flows to enforce least-privilege access without impacting business operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement microsegmentation policies aligned with Zero Trust principles
• Analyze application dependency mappings to understand traffic flows before enforcement
• Collaborate with application owners to define secure communication requirements
• Evaluate and mitigate risks while ensuring no disruption to production systems
• Support policy lifecycle management (design → test → deploy → monitor)
• Troubleshoot application connectivity issues by analyzing blocked traffic, ports, and services
• Participate in change management processes, including non-prod to production rollouts
• Act as a subject matter expert for segmentation strategy and network security design

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Network Security Engineering
• Hands-on experience with microsegmentation tools such as:
• Illumio
• Akamai Guardicore Segmentation
• Strong understanding of network fundamentals (TCP/IP, ports, protocols, firewalls)
• Experience designing and implementing segmentation policies (not just execution)
• Ability to analyze east-west traffic flows and application dependencies
• Strong troubleshooting skills in production environments
• Excellent communication skills to work with cross-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with platforms such as:
• VMware NSX
• Prisma Cloud
• Cisco Secure Workload
• Familiarity with log analysis tools (e.g., Splunk)
• Basic understanding of Linux and Windows systems
• Experience in large enterprise or hybrid cloud environments

What We Are Not Looking For

• Identity and Access Management (IAM)-focused profiles
• Cloud-only security engineers without network depth
• Tool-based operators without policy design experience

Ideal Candidate Profile

A Network Security Engineer with hands-on microsegmentation experience who can:

• Design and implement policies independently
• Understand application traffic flows and dependencies
• Anticipate impact before changes are deployed
• Work directly with stakeholders to balance security and availability
