Partner with Network Engineering to design and maintain secure network controls (segmentation, ingress/egress filtering, VPN/remote access, secure routing) and troubleshoot complex connectivity and security policy issues.

Define and maintain security baselines and configuration standards; ensure changes follow change control and are validated through testing and peer review.

Integrate security tooling with logging/monitoring workflows (e.g., SIEM, SOAR, MDR) by enabling high-quality telemetry, building effective alerting, and improving signal-to-noise.

Develop automation and repeatable deployment patterns (scripts, templates, infrastructure-as-code where applicable) to improve consistency, speed, and auditability.

Perform advanced troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across security and network stacks; lead resolution of high-impact incidents related to security technologies.

Support risk and compliance objectives by providing evidence, participating in audits, and ensuring controls align to financial services expectations (e.g., GLBA, NCUA, FFIEC guidance, PCI DSS as applicable).

Evaluate security vendors and products, contribute to roadmap planning, and manage technical relationships with vendors and service providers.

Mentor and provide technical guidance to other security team members; contribute to runbooks, knowledge transfer, and continuous improvement.
