Senior Firewall Engineer

This isn't a "maintain the status quo" role. You'll be solving real security challenges at enterprise scale:

Design & build state-of-the-art secure network architectures — from concept to implementation

Protect the network by managing WAN, LAN, CAN, and remote security environments, handling incidents with speed and precision

Own the security stack — firewalls, F5 load balancers, web/mail gateways, IDS platforms, and management tools

Lead incident response — investigate, document, and drive corrective action when it matters most

Shape security operations by developing SOPs that the broader team will rely on

Stay ahead of threats by researching and evaluating emerging network security technologies

Be the expert in the room — serve as a trusted liaison to contract leadership, customers, and government DAA stakeholders on security posture, policies, and procedures

Required Clearance & Certifications:

Active TS/SCI clearance (must be current)

Ability to pass a U.S. Government Polygraph (post-hire)

DoD 8140.01 / 8570.01-M IAT Level II compliant certification (current)

CSSP Infrastructure Support certification — or the drive to earn it within 120 days of starting

Experience:

5+ years in Network Security within large-scale enterprise or global environments

BA/BS degree preferred — but strong hands-on experience can speak just as loudly. You can substitute a degree with 4 years of additional experience

Firewalls: Palo Alto, Juniper, Cisco

Routers/Switches: Juniper, Cisco

IDS/Threat Tools: FireEye, F5 Load Balancer, Cisco FTD

OS/Platforms: Unix, RHEL, Windows Enterprise AD, VMware

You'll be part of a team that works on problems that actually matter — supporting government missions at the highest levels. If you're a network security professional who wants scope, challenge, and the chance to influence enterprise-wide security decisions, this is the place.
