Job description
Our client is a large enterprise organization looking for a Network Security Engineer to join their team on a contract basis. This fully remote role will focus on network security, firewall security and policy analysis, configuration compliance, vulnerability management, and security risk remediation while supporting EST business hours and collaborating with U.S.-based and offshore teams.
This is a great opportunity for a security professional who enjoys investigating security risks and understanding the "why" behind firewall configurations rather than simply administering devices.

The role also provides exposure to security automation, GRC, vulnerability management, and AI-driven security reviews.
