  • Interface directly with customers and stakeholders to understand requirements, provide status updates, explain technical issues, and coordinate resolutions.
  • Analyze traffic flows, logs, alerts, and other technical information to identify the root cause of security and connectivity issues.
  • Work with network, cloud, cybersecurity, application, infrastructure, and service desk teams to resolve technical issues.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including standard operating procedures, troubleshooting guides, configuration documentation, ticket documentation, and knowledge articles.

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust requiring U.S. Citizenship. 
  • Minimum 1 year+ hands-on experience configuring and maintaining, SASE, or SSE technology such as Netskope, Blue Coat, Zscaler, or comparable platforms.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting O&M operations, including ticket management, incident troubleshooting, service requests, configuration changes, and issue resolution.
  • Experience analyzing network traffic, logs, alerts, and system information to troubleshoot technical and security issues.
  • Experience working with customers or stakeholders in a customer-facing technical support or engineering role.
  • Ability to communicate technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience documenting technical issues, troubleshooting activities, resolutions, and configuration changes.
  • Ability to work with minimal supervision on assigned technical tasks while collaborating effectively with senior engineers, architects, and cross-functional teams as needed.
