Job description
- Operate and mature the Illumio micro-segmentation platform (SaaS with limited on-prem presence), including VEN agent lifecycle management across Windows, Linux, and future AIX workloads.
- Design, validate, and deploy least-privilege segmentation policies, ensuring safe verification via traffic telemetry before and after enforcement.
- Analyze traffic flow telemetry and delay metrics across ingestion pipelines and SIEM tooling to validate platform health, identify regressions, and distinguish policy issues from platform/vendor constraints.
- Incident response and vendor escalation with Illumio engineering, including SaaS scaling events, maintenance windows, and potential data integrity risks.
- Partner with Network Engineering, NOC/NMC, application teams, and platform owners to coordinate production changes, policy deployments, and change-management activities.
- Maintain and evolve security standards, baselines, and deployment guidance for enterprise micro-segmentation aligned to governance, audit, and risk requirements.
- Support large-scale onboarding and migration efforts including SaaS cutovers, phased policy enforcement, and certification of segmentation controls for high-risk and payment applications.
