Job Summary
Network Security Engineer Field and Cloud Infrastructure
The Network Security Engineer Field and Cloud Infrastructure will be responsible for understanding the companys existing field network and remote connectivity landscape identifying potential security gaps and helping design and implement practical solutions to improve the security reliability and maintainability of deployed systems.
This role requires a practical operations-focused approach to network security. Most deployments are remote sites where uptime is critical and ease of use is a top priority. The candidate must be able to identify security gaps while also understanding that improvements must be practical deployable supportable and minimally disruptive to site operations.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
- Work closely with existing network support and engineering teams to evaluate current configurations document risks recommend improvements and support implementation of security controls across field-hosted cloud-connected and enterprise network environments.
- Define realistic mitigation paths that balance security usability field deployment simplicity customer needs and maximum system availability.
- Develop containment strategies & recovery plans to minimize operational disruptions.
- Shadow field and support personnel on occasional field visits to understand the procedural environmental and operational constraints.
- Design secure industrial network architectures following Purdue Model principles.
- Participate and Support OT cybersecurity incident response and forensic investigations.
- Troubleshoot and resolve real-world issues using tools such as Python PowerShell Bash Ansible Terraform or similar technologies.
- Identify risks and translate findings into actionable remediation plans
- Support risk assessments aligned with international (IEC 62443 ISO 27001 NIST CSF 2.0) regional (NOG-104 CIS) and internal standards.
- Identify creative methods to support customer requirements like data sovereignty while maintaining remote patching of international systems.
- Configure deployment and support technologies (Fortinet Starlink BeyondTrust) to maintain global standardization.
- Leverage centralized tools (NinjaOne Zabbix SentinelOne) and collaborate with Systems Engineers to quantify risks and track adoption of improvements.
- Contribute to cybersecurity documentation SOPs and standards
- Support workflow and ticketing integration using tools such as Jira
- Act as a bridge between cybersecurity and operational execution translating security requirements into practical scalable solutions
Required Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in computer science information technology cybersecurity network engineering engineering or a related technical field; equivalent experience may be considered.
- 510 years in cybersecurity systems engineering network engineering or related roles
- Strong understanding of networking fundamentals including TCP/IP routing switching DNS DHCP NAT VLANs firewalls VPNs and remote access technologies.
- Experience deploying and maintaining vulnerability management security monitoring SIEM centralized logging configuration compliance and alerting solutions within IT/OT environments to enhance security visibility operational resilience and risk reduction.
- Experience with local and remote support of industrial OT networks firewall policy management segmentation secure remote access and troubleshooting.
- Ability to evaluate technical environments identify security gaps and recommend practical remediation steps.
- Experience with cybersecurity risk assessments for industrial systems.
- Experience supporting products deployed in customer OT environments.
- Experience writing scripts or automation using tools such as Python PowerShell Bash Ansible Terraform or similar technologies.
- Ability to communicate technical risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong documentation skills including network diagrams configuration standards implementation procedures and technical notes.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with network field support cybersecurity infrastructure cloud and application teams.
- Experience with standards or frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0 CIS Controls ISO 27001 IEC 62443 or other cybersecurity best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting remote field networks industrial environments customer-connected systems or distributed infrastructure.
- Experience supporting offshore drilling marine energy or critical infrastructure environments.
- Experience with cloud networking and security concepts in platforms such as Azure AWS or Google Cloud.
