About the Role

We're looking for a Network Security Engineer to design, implement, and secure enterprise network infrastructure built on Aruba and HPE technologies. This is a hands-on role spanning both network engineering and security — you'll be responsible for building reliable network architecture while ensuring it's hardened against modern threats. If you can move fluidly between network design and security enforcement, this role is built for that.

What You'll Do

Design, configure, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure using Aruba and HPE hardware and platforms

Implement and manage network security controls, including firewalls, VPNs, and access control policies

Monitor network traffic and security events to identify and respond to potential threats

Conduct network security assessments and vulnerability analysis

Design and enforce network segmentation, VLANs, and wireless security architecture

Troubleshoot network performance, connectivity, and security incidents

Maintain documentation for network architecture, configurations, and security policies

Collaborate with IT and security teams to align network infrastructure with broader security standards

Support compliance efforts related to network and IT security requirements

Stay current on emerging network security threats and Aruba/HPE platform capabilities

What You Bring

Strong hands-on experience with Aruba networking and security products

Experience with HP Enterprise (HPE) infrastructure and platforms

Solid background in IT security, including threat identification and mitigation

Strong network engineering skills, including routing, switching, and wireless architecture

Practical experience implementing network security best practices and controls

Ability to troubleshoot complex network and security issues independently

Strong documentation and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration

Nice to Have

Relevant certifications (e.g., Aruba Certified, HPE certifications, Security+, CCNA/CCNP Security)

Experience with network access control (NAC) solutions

Familiarity with SIEM tools and security monitoring platforms

Experience supporting compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001)
