Qualifications

• 15+ years of experience in enterprise network security engineering in global, multi-vendor environments, including senior engineering leadership.
• Proven record leading build-and-run services combining engineering, operations, and automation disciplines.
• Strong product-led mindset for internal platforms: clear service contracts, adoption/onboarding focus, and customer outcomes orientation.
• Effective stakeholder leadership across infrastructure and cyber security teams, able to define decision boundaries and scalable interfaces.
• Hands‑on proficiency with network automation using Infrastructure-as-Code concepts and modern delivery practices (catalog driven orchestration, automated validation, controlled rollout, CI/CD, Python, NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG, Ansible/Terraform/Cloud Formation, AIOps).
• Operational observability and reliability practices: actionable telemetry, monitoring design, incident learning, and service performance reporting.

Responsibilities

• Lead a global engineering team delivering network security platforms as internal products, with clear ownership of reliability and operational outcomes.
• Own the product engineering lifecycle for network security services: roadmap execution, modernization, technical debt management, and continuous improvement.
• Establish and operate measurable reliability management: define service indicators and objectives, monitor service health, and drive improvement based on data, incidents, and customer experience.
• Drive automation-first delivery: embed Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD practices into network change delivery, with safe deployment patterns (validation, progressive rollout, rollback).
• Partner with the Network Operational Intelligence teams to adopt golden automation patterns and scale self-service onboarding for engineering teams.
• Collaborate closely with enterprise network architecture to align to standards, patterns, and guardrails while enabling high-speed delivery with minimal friction.
• Define scalable policy governance and guardrails (e.g., segmentation and egress controls) that can be consumed “as-a-service” by other teams - reducing handoffs and enabling fast flow.
• Partner with product ops to ensure services are clearly described in the catalog, cost drivers are transparent, and vendor interfaces support product outcomes.
• Enable integration and standardization of newly acquired environments into Maersk’s standard network security platforms, controls, and operating model.
• Own cost leadership and total cost of ownership (TCO) for Core services - set targets, optimize capacity and carriers, partner with Product Operations and vendors - maintaining SLOs while reducing cost-to-serve.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships across infrastructure and security domains; define crisp interfaces and decision boundaries that reduce handoffs and ambiguity.
• Develop engineering talent, create an inclusive culture, and foster an environment of ownership, learning, and continuous improvement.
