Job Specifications
Information Security Engineer
Hybrid – Long Island City, NY (3 days onsite)
Our Client is hiring a hands-on Information Security Engineer to help secure and scale enterprise cloud and network infrastructure in a fast-moving, global environment.
If you enjoy digging into complex network challenges, strengthening cloud security posture, and building automation that actually makes an impact — this role will give you the room to do it.
This is not a ticket-taking position. This is a high-ownership engineering role where you’ll influence architecture, lead incident response efforts, and play a key part in protecting critical enterprise systems.
What You’ll Own
Security Operations & Incident Response
Monitor enterprise networks and systems for vulnerabilities and threats
Lead incident response, including forensic investigation and impact analysis
Drive remediation efforts from vulnerability scans and penetration tests
Prepare clear technical findings for leadership and audit stakeholders
Cloud & Infrastructure Security
Design and secure workloads in AWS (GCP exposure is a plus)
Architect VPCs, subnets, routing, peering, and hybrid connectivity
Deploy and manage AWS load balancing solutions (ALB, ELB, Gateway Load Balancer)
Build CloudWatch monitoring, alerting, and observability dashboards
Help scale resilient, secure cloud environments during migration efforts
Network & Firewall Engineering
Configure and manage firewalls (policy, NAT, VPN – L2L, RA, SSL)
Support Palo Alto and Cisco ASA environments
Manage Cisco routing and switching (strong L2/L3 expertise required)
Perform deep packet-level analysis and advanced troubleshooting
Support load balancing, proxy technologies, and authentication systems
Automation & DevOps
Build automation using Python, Terraform, and Ansible
Manage GitHub workflows including CI/CD pipelines and code reviews
Improve infrastructure efficiency through scripting and repeatable deployments
Monitoring & Compliance
Manage SNMP-based monitoring tools (Nagios, Grafana)
Define alerting policies and system health standards
Partner with audit teams to support SOX, PCI, and cybersecurity compliance
Maintain documentation, diagrams, and technical standards
What We’re Looking For
5+ years firewall configuration (policy, NAT, VPN)
5+ years Cisco routing & switching (strong L2/L3 fundamentals)
3+ years Citrix Netscaler experience
Strong AWS networking and security experience
Experience leading remediation from vulnerability and penetration testing findings
Advanced troubleshooting skills, including packet-level network analysis
Linux (RHEL) command-line experience
Experience supporting compliance frameworks (SOX, PCI, Cybersecurity)
Nice to Have:
GCP experience
Palo Alto firewall expertise
Arista networking
Automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef)
Python or Perl scripting
Who Thrives Here
Engineers who take full ownership rather than waiting for direction
Professionals who can move comfortably between networking, cloud, and security
Clear communicators who can translate technical risk into business impact
Self-starters who perform well in fast-paced enterprise environments
If you’re passionate about securing modern cloud environments while driving automation and operational excellence, I’d love to connect and walk you through the team and next steps.
