Job Description

The Zero Trust Security Engineer is a hands-on technical role responsible for designing, implementing, and operating modern Zero Trust security controls across enterprise IT and cloud environments. This role focuses on identity-driven access, next-generation network security, and cloud-based SASE platforms—not traditional perimeter-based firewall administration.

This engineer will help evolve the organization from legacy perimeter security models to a Zero Trust architecture aligned with NIST 800-207, while supporting a 24/7 critical infrastructure environment where security must balance protection, reliability, and uptime.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain Zero Trust security architecture aligned with NIST 800-207
• Engineer and operate network security controls including segmentation, inspection, and egress filtering
• Own and administer cloud-based SASE platforms (e.g., Netskope, Zscaler, Cloudflare)
• Implement and tune identity-driven access controls (Conditional Access, MFA, device posture, risk-based policies)

• Support secure access for SaaS, cloud, and on-prem applications while reducing reliance on traditional VPNs
• Collaborate closely with IAM, endpoint, cloud security, and infrastructure teams
• Partner with Security Operations to investigate and remediate access- or network-related incidents
• Develop and maintain security standards, baselines, and technical documentation
• Participate in architecture reviews and security design for new systems and applications
• Support audits and regulatory reviews related to access and network security
• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, IT, Computer Science, or related field
• Equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of a degree

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Benefit packages for this role include: 401K, Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits
