What you’ll be doing...

In an effort to customize and drive greater value out of Verizon’s Managed Security Services and Products, Verizon clients have the ability to add additional Support via a Client Security Architect/Engineer.

The Client Security Architect/Engineer is an integral part of the managed security solution. You will partner with our customer’s technology leaders and architects, to create customised security designs based on best practices.

You will ensure that new designs support appropriate capacity levels, and then provide ongoing capacity management through-out the design life cycle. All security designs are created to support service level agreements and are therefore optimized to support business continuity. Where possible, we will also look for opportunities to consolidate infrastructure to reduce cost and/or for dedicated lanes built for high priority applications. You will also provide 3rd/4th level operations support.

Responsibilities:

• Assist clients in overcoming complex network and security challenges as you help move the network and security engagements forward with new technology, features and functionality, (including completion of product and technology evaluations).

• Minimize the risk of negative effects resulting from poorly planned network changes.

• Determine the appropriate hardware and software features and functionality required for a change or enhancement.

• Verify that new hardware and software levels are interoperable with the existing network.

• Give technical advice and guidance on network cutovers and implementation plans, while understanding how these changes/modifications can affect the customer’s business.

• Act as the technical security and network liaison between the customer and Verizon for problem resolution assistance (with regards to critical network engineering, security engineering, and change management issues).

• Define action plans that are easy to implement, effective at reducing risk, and that utilise existing people, processes, and technologies.

What we’re looking for...

You’ll need to have:

• Bachelors degree or relate work experience.

• Experience in network and security solution architecture and design.

• Experience of working with external customer contacts.

• Experience of working with Palo Alto, Checkpoint, Cisco, or Fortinet security products.

• Experience of working with multiple vendor devices & technologies including EDR, SIEM, UTM, IDS/IPS, Firewalls, Proxies and NAC.

• A background in Network Engineering.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS and Microsoft Azure.

• Strong communication, relationship building and presentation skills.

• A strong knowledge of commonly used network products & technologies, with industry recognized certifications (such as CCNA, CCNP, CCIE).

• Knowledge and experience of a SIEM solution (Splunk, RSA, Securonix, etc..) as well as the creation, maintenance and development of Detection Content.

• Experience in Incident Response and working within a SOC environment.

• Knowledge of IDS/IPS tuning.

• Experience of working with third party cloud solutions such as Zscaler, iBoss or Cylance.

• Experience with Vulnerability Management solutions (such as Qualys, Nessus).

• Experience with Policy Assessment tools (Tufin, Algosec, Firemon, Skybox)

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
