This is not simply an installation position. Our client has plenty of technicians who can install cameras, readers, panels, and access-control hardware. The challenge is finding someone who understands what happens behind the hardware-someone who can work with Windows, servers, networks, databases, security applications, and system programming to bring an entire security environment together. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical problem solver who can bridge the gap between physical security systems and IT infrastructure., * 3+ years of computer and network security experience or comparable experience working with security technology and IT infrastructure. * Hands-on experience programming and supporting commercial access control or integrated security systems. * Strong understanding of Windows environments, including server/client configuration and troubleshooting. * Solid knowledge of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, VLANs, subnetting, IP addressing, switches, and connectivity troubleshooting. * Experience working with servers, databases, and security applications. * Ability to troubleshoot and configure back-end security system infrastructure, not just install field hardware. * Experience with one or more major access control platforms such as Lenel OnGuard, Genetec, C*CURE, Avigilon, or comparable systems. * Understanding of video management systems (VMS) and integrating VMS with access control and other security platforms. * Ability to work independently in the field while communicating effectively with customers and internal teams. * Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to determine the root cause of technical issues. * Low-voltage, electronic security, IT, networking, or systems-integration experience is preferred. * CompTIA Network+, manufacturer certifications, or comparable technical certifications are a plus. The Ideal Candidate Our client is specifically looking for someone who can go beyond "installing the camera". You should be comfortable asking: * Is the device communicating properly on the network? * Is the VLAN configured correctly? * Is the Windows server communicating with the controller? * Is the application configured correctly? * Is there a database or service issue? * Are permissions or authentication preventing communication? * Can the security platforms be properly integrated? * What needs to be programmed or configured to make the entire system function as intended? ## Description * Program, configure, commission, and troubleshoot enterprise access control systems, including platforms such as Lenel OnGuard, Genetec, Software House C*CURE, Avigilon, or similar. * Configure and troubleshoot IP networks supporting security systems, including VLANs, subnetting, IP addressing, routing, and network connectivity. * Work with Windows-based servers and operating systems supporting access control, video management, and other security applications. * Assist with server setup, application installation, database configuration, user permissions, and system administration. * Configure and troubleshoot security system software and back-end infrastructure to ensure reliable communication between devices, servers, applications, and networks. * Integrate access control, video management systems (VMS), and other security technologies into cohesive solutions. * Troubleshoot complex issues involving hardware, software, networking, servers, databases, and system integrations. * Support system startup, commissioning, programming, and deployment for commercial security projects throughout the DFW market. * Work closely with project managers, service technicians, customers, and other technical teams to resolve issues and deliver fully operational systems. * Read system documentation, network diagrams, and technical specifications to identify configuration and connectivity issues. * Provide technical support after installation and assist with system modifications, upgrades, and troubleshooting. * Diagnose problems beyond the physical installation, identifying whether an issue originates with the device, application, Windows environment, server, database, or network. ## Related Videos - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [The Developer Workstation Blind Spot: Why Your Security Stack Can't See What Matters Most](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100254-the-developer-workstation-blind-spot-why-your-security-stack-can-t-see-what-matters-most) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
