We are looking for an experienced Senior Network Security Specialist to join our team and enhance our network's security posture. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust security solutions to protect our client's network infrastructure from potential threats.

Key responsibilities include conducting network assessments, developing and implementing security solutions policies and protocols, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and best practices. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential to ensure that security measures align with business objectives and operational processes.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of network security technologies, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), VPNs, and encryption methodologies. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are crucial for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities proactively.

You'll be involved early to offer solutions, help decide whether something can be done, and identify the technical and timeline risks upfront. This means dealing with both client expectations and internal challenges - in other words, there are plenty of opportunities to make a difference, and a lot of people will witness your contributions. In fact, a frequent sign of success for our Infrastructure Specialists is when clients come back to us and ask for the same person by name. That's the kind of impact you can have!

This is a project-based role where you'll enjoy deep involvement throughout the lifespan of a project, as well as the chance to work closely with Architects, Technicians, and PMs. Whatever your current level of tech-savvy or where you want your career to lead, you'll find the right opportunities and a buddy to support your growth. Boredom? Trust us, that won't be an issue.
