Job description

Easy Dynamics designs, builds, and secures the systems that protect our people, places, and way of life. We are a trusted advisor delivering best-in-class technology solutions in Digital Identity, Cybersecurity, and Risk Management. Our teams combine engineering excellence with a disciplined, forward-leaning approach to solve our clients' hardest technical challenges. We bring an “East Coast address, West Coast attitude” to everything we do, combining mission focus with an innovative, collaborative, and flexible culture that puts people first. Our subject matter experts work at the cutting edge of cybersecurity and technology, delivering identity management, cloud, and security automation solutions that directly impact critical government missions. We believe the best work happens when talented people have the freedom and support to do what they do best.

We don't run on rigid hierarchy or playbooks that are locked in once and expected to work for the rest of time. We're a company of self-starters who take ownership without being asked twice and treat ambiguity as room to run rather than a roadblock. Our practice is growing quickly, and our structure stays intentionally light so ideas can move fast and the people closest to the work have real say in how it gets done. That means this role comes with genuine latitude to shape how we deliver, and outsized opportunity for impact on both our clients and our team.

Growth isn't a perk here, it's an expectation we hold for ourselves and for each other. We build in the time and support for our people to keep sharpening their skills, because the technology we work in doesn't sit still and neither should we. Across our practice, we're putting AI to work in deliberate, high-trust ways, from surfacing patterns in client requirements to accelerating process and quality analysis, so our teams can spend their time and judgment on the problems that actually need it. We invest in our people's growth because it's how we stay ahead of the mission and how our teams keep getting better at what they do.

What you'll do

• Implement and administer network solutions that meet customer business requirements and SLAs.

• Evaluate network hardware and software solutions in accordance with industry standards.
• Manage and monitor network firewall products and access control policies.
• Participate in regular network maintenance activities and change-management processes.
• Install, maintain, and monitor the operation of the organization's enterprise network.
