Job description

Kimley-Horn is seeking a Network Security Engineer to help lead and mature our network security function, with a primary focus on enterprise firewall architecture and operations.


This is a foundational role within our Information Security team, where you’ll take ownership of a growing firewall environment, influence security strategy, and help define the future of network security across a rapidly expanding, multi-site organization.

If you have a strong networking background and deep hands-on firewall experience—especially in Palo Alto environments—this is an opportunity to truly own and evolve a critical security domain.

This is not a remote position. Applicants must be legally authorized to work for Kimley-Horn in the U.S. without employer sponsorship. We do not typically sponsor H1-B or other work visa petitions.

Firewall Ownership & Network Security (Primary Focus)

  • Serve as the primary owner of Kimley-Horn’s enterprise firewall environment, including design, implementation, and ongoing optimization
  • Create, review, and maintain firewall policies and rules across on-prem and cloud environments
  • Lead firewall strategy decisions, including policy standardization, segmentation, and performance tuning
  • Administer and optimize Palo Alto firewalls and Panorama
  • Manage and enhance GlobalProtect policies and secure remote access configurations
  • Analyze and implement ACLs, rule bases, and logical security controls across a multi-vendor environment
  • Drive continuous improvement in firewall posture, balancing security and user experience
Cloud & Application Security
  • Support and manage Next-Gen Firewalls in Azure environments
  • Administer and optimize Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)
  • Participate in SASE and cloud security architecture discussions and reviews
Network Security Engineering & Operations
  • Implement and maintain network security controls, including firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, and access controls
  • Troubleshoot complex networking and security issues across cloud and hybrid environments
  • Monitor and resolve network performance issues (latency, throughput, utilization, system slowness)
  • Partner with Network Operations and Cloud teams to review designs and provide a security-first perspective
Emerging Security Capabilities
  • Assist in evaluating and implementing Network Detection & Response (NDR) solutions
  • Support the transition and ongoing ownership of Cisco ISE capabilities
  • Contribute to security tooling decisions, standards, and long-term strategy
Collaboration & Leadership (Non-People Management)
  • Coordinate and guide work across matrixed IT partners
  • Provide technical guidance, training, and mentorship on network security best practices
  • Participate in incident response, change management, and after-hours maintenance for critical events

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Cybersecurity, or a related field
  • 4+ years of experience in network security engineering or related roles within enterprise environments
  • Strong hands-on experience with firewall design, implementation, and management (required)
  • Direct experience with Palo Alto firewalls and Panorama
  • Experience with firewall architectures across internal, perimeter, and cloud environments
  • Experience administering Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)
  • Experience with Cisco ISE or similar identity-based network access platforms
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (routing, switching, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP)
  • Experience with change management practices and operational processes
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to perform under pressure
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Certifications:
Security+, Network+, CCNP Security, AZ-700/AZ-500, CISSP, or similar
