Conduct deep analysis of user, device, and service network access paths across complex network environments, including routing, firewalls, macro- and micro-segmentation, proxies, DNS, and load balancers
Architect end-to-end zero trust access patterns that decouple applications from direct network trust and centralize policy enforcement in Secure Access Services
Translate business, risk, and compliance requirements into reusable reference architectures, patterns, and guardrails for secure access
Serve as the primary engineer for the solutions you architect, including design, configuration, scripting, integration, and operationalization of mesh VPN and identity-aware proxy capabilities
Implement secure access for a broad set of web and non-web applications, including internal and external web applications, APIs, databases, administrative tools, and legacy TCP workloads
Drive data governance and secure architecture practices by ensuring access patterns, controls, and supporting documentation align with security policies, standards, and best practices
Collaborate with software development, infrastructure, identity, network, and product teams to integrate security considerations throughout the application and service lifecycle
Evaluate and recommend security tools, technologies, and processes that enhance the overall security posture and improve scalability, resilience, and operational efficiency
Conduct qualitative research and technical analysis to identify emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and innovative secure access solutions
Develop automation, including Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD integrations, and policy-as-code, to ensure consistent and repeatable deployment of secure access controls
Develop and maintain technical documentation related to security architectures, onboarding patterns, runbooks, configuration baselines, test plans, and operational procedures
Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and knowledge sharing to other engineers on security best practices, architectural design, and secure access engineering patterns
Participate in incident response activities and provide expert guidance on secure access and security-related issues, including root cause analysis and durable remediation
Define, track, and own key metrics and performance indicators for secure access capabilities, including application coverage, control adoption, incident reduction, and onboarding efficiency
