Role Description
Everforth ECS is seeking an experienced and technically versatile Network & Security Infrastructure Engineer to take on a high-impact, dual-function role within a large and complex enterprise environment. This position sits at the crossroads of network infrastructure, virtual environment engineering, and security operations, and it requires genuine depth across all three, not surface-level familiarity.
-
Lead a major re-architecture of the organization's VMware ESXi virtual environment to support comprehensive firewall and VLAN implementations that deliver proper network segmentation across the enterprise.
-
Provide dedicated firewall support to the Architecture and Engineering division, administering the enterprise's internal and cloud-facing firewall environments.
-
Support the security operations division, monitoring and maintaining a Cisco-based network infrastructure and an Aruba wireless environment from a security-first perspective.
This role is built for someone who can operate with equal confidence in a virtual environment console, a firewall policy manager, and a network operations context.
Salary Range: $120,000 - $130,000
Qualifications
-
Hands-on experience designing and re-architecting VMware ESXi environments in an enterprise setting.
-
Ability to plan and implement VLAN segmentation strategies within virtualized infrastructure to support firewall enforcement and proper traffic isolation.
-
Experience configuring virtual switches, distributed switches, and virtual port groups in support of security segmentation objectives.
-
Familiarity with NSX or equivalent software-defined networking (SDN) platforms as they relate to micro-segmentation and east-west traffic control.
-
Ability to document virtual network architecture clearly and thoroughly, including design decisions, configurations, and future-state plans.
-
Hands-on experience configuring and administering enterprise-class firewall technologies, with specific experience on Check Point and Palo Alto platforms.
-
Ability to implement new firewall architectures, upgrades, and feature rollouts as directed.
-
Experience administering firewall policy including updates, upgrades, policy administration, and validation.
-
Proficiency managing and tuning software blades and associated security features such as IPS, URL filtering, Application Control, antivirus, and advanced malware detection.
-
Strong knowledge of firewall rules, security policies, and security operations within a large enterprise environment.
-
Strong hands-on experience with Cisco network infrastructure including routing, switching, and network security configurations in an enterprise setting.
-
Experience supporting and securing Aruba wireless access point environments.
-
Solid understanding of core networking protocols including TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, and VPNs.
-
Ability to monitor and analyze network architecture, communication flows, policies, and protocols from a cybersecurity perspective.
-
Experience identifying and isolating network-based security issues quickly during incidents and outages.
-
Familiarity with network access control concepts and how they integrate with broader security operations.
-
Ability to collaborate across teams including cybersecurity, systems administration, and technology support partners.
-
Experience supporting security continuous monitoring efforts such as risk assessments, vulnerability identification, and patch coordination.
-
Ability to create and maintain clear, accurate documentation for virtual, network, and firewall configurations, procedures, and troubleshooting steps.
-
Comfortable communicating technical findings and infrastructure risk clearly to both technical peers and senior leadership.
Requirements
-
A minimum of 5+ years of experience in network security engineering or a closely related infrastructure discipline is required.
-
Direct hands-on experience on both Check Point and Palo Alto platforms strongly preferred.
-
Demonstrated experience with VMware ESXi re-architecture and VLAN segmentation design — in addition to enterprise networking and firewall administration — will be given strong preference over candidates with depth in only one or two of these areas.
