Do you want to make a meaningful impact as a Security Engineer focused on secure access and network security? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, self-directed environment? If so, we’d love to hear from you\!

What You Will Do

As a Security Engineer on the Secure Access team, you will design, implement, and operate the technologies that underpin our organization’s remote access, web security, and network protection capabilities. You will be a hands-on contributor who brings both deep technical expertise and the energy to drive improvements independently.

Purpose

The Secure Access team engineers, delivers, and supports the solutions used to provide secure network access across the corporate environment — spanning on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructure. The team provides hands-on engineering, configuration management, and automation support to keep access controls robust, auditable, and scalable in a regulated industry context.

Key Activities and Deliverables

• Ensure security solutions meet regulatory requirements and support audit and compliance activities.

• Proactively identify gaps in access controls and propose improvements with a self-driven, solution-oriented mindset.

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners including network, identity, and cloud teams to deliver integrated secure access capabilities.

• Mentor more junior team members and contribute to the development of security best practices.

Job Skills Required

• High energy, self-motivated, and capable of owning work end-to-end with minimal direction.

• Accountability/Problem Solving: Independently leads the analysis of moderately complex cybersecurity incidents and technical problems, clearly defining the security problem scope and driving root cause analysis for security breaches or vulnerabilities.

• Identifies a diverse range of security stakeholders across functional areas and effectively manages relationships to build reliance through deep business and technical understanding, acting as a trusted advisor.

• Strong customer focus with a highly responsive service delivery and support ethic.

• Collaborative and communicative — comfortable working across distributed, cross-functional teams.

• Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality, documentation, and operational excellence.

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

Qualifications and Experience Required

• 3-7 years of hands-on technical experience in security engineering, with a focus on network security and secure access technologies.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience with WAF (any vendor — Cloudflare a plus), including design and PoC of new solutions.

• Proficiency with Terraform (or similar) for infrastructure-as-code and GitHub for version control and collaboration.

• Experience using ServiceNow for configuration management (CMDB), change management, and/or incident management.

• Experience with automation (scripts, workflows, or CI/CD) to support security operations.

• Prior experience in a regulated industry (e.g., healthcare, finance, pharma, or government) is a plus.

• Strong understanding of network security concepts including Zero Trust, VPN, DNS, firewalls, and web proxies.

Nice to Have

• Scripting or programming skills: Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar.

• Familiarity with Agile and DevOps practices; experience with CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Ansible).

• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP cloud security services.

• Exposure to SIEM, EDR, or broader security operations tooling.

• Relevant certifications such as PCNSE, Cloudflare Certified, CCNP Security, or equivalent.
