• Provide subject matter expertise on network security, firewalls, and industry best practices.
• Document and formalize security processes.

Automation and Infrastructure Management:

• Drive automation initiatives using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Chef) and GitOps workflows to streamline network provisioning and enforce configuration consistency.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines tailored for IT infrastructure to enhance deployment efficiency and integrate network security measures.
• Build and maintain internal automation solutions (e.g., Slack bots and integrations) to streamline IT operations and business processes.

Monitoring and Maintenance:

• Manage and maintain network security systems through system patches and periodic maintenance tasks.
• Establish comprehensive observability and proactive issue-resolution strategies using tools like SNMP, Syslog, Netflow, Elasticsearch (ELK Stack), and Grafana.

Collaboration and Communication:

• Work with Cyber Energia teams to identify functional needs, develop secure architectures, and communicate security best practices and policies.
• Collaborate with security teams to align IT automation with Zero Trust principles and compliance frameworks.
• Clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, demonstrating excellent stakeholder management skills.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in network security, IT infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and/or APIs.
• 2+ years of experience hardening Windows, MacOS, and/or Linux operating systems.

Required Skills and Experience:

Technical Expertise:

• Strong experience with enterprise network vendors (e.g., CheckPoint, Palo Alto).
• Proficiency in routing and switching, including protocols like BGP, OSPF, and MPLS.
• Deep understanding of network security principles (e.g., ACLs, firewalls, VPNs, 802.1x authentication, profiling, RBAC).
• Familiarity with network monitoring tools/protocols and logging pipelines (e.g., SNMP, Syslog, Netflow, ELK Stack, Grafana).
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP) and infrastructure management.
• Experience with network security technologies, including firewalls (Palo Alto, CheckPoint), IDS/IPS, NDR, switch/router ACLs, NAC solutions, IPSec/TLS VPNs, WAFs, email security, and SIEM logging/alerting.

Programming and Automation:
