Lead IT Engineer - Network & Security

We’re hiring three senior IT Engineers to lead network and security engineering work for a large enterprise environment in Juno Beach, FL. This is an infrastructure role, not software development. You’ll design, secure, and support critical network systems, act as a technical lead for complex projects, and serve as an escalation point for the broader engineering team.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure, including routing, switching, WAN/LAN, and wireless.
• Engineer and manage security controls such as firewalls, VPNs, segmentation, NAC, and intrusion detection/prevention.
• Lead network and security projects from planning through deployment, including change management and documentation.
• Serve as the senior escalation point for complex network and security incidents, driving root-cause analysis and remediation.
• Assess the environment for vulnerabilities and risks, and recommend and implement hardening measures.
• Support compliance and audit efforts by maintaining configurations, standards, and evidence aligned with security frameworks.
• Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with security, operations, and architecture teams.

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in network and/or security engineering in an enterprise environment.
• Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, and network design principles.
• Strong experience with enterprise firewalls and security platforms (eg, Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point).
• Experience with switching and routing platforms (eg, Cisco, Juniper, Arista).
• Proven experience leading technical projects and guiding other engineers.
• Solid troubleshooting skills and the ability to stay calm and methodical during high-impact incidents.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including documentation and stakeholder updates.

Nice to Have

• Certifications such as CCNP/CCIE, PCNSE, CISSP, or equivalent.
• Experience in regulated or critical infrastructure environments (eg, utilities, energy, NERC CIP).
• Familiarity with cloud networking (Azure, AWS) and zero-trust architectures.
• Network automation experience (Python, Ansible) is a plus, though this is not a software development role.
