## About the role

We are looking for a Network and Security Engineer to own the architecture of high-performance, high-assurance networks for our defense programs.

Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 15+ years of experience in network engineering and network security engineering, including significant time architecting large-scale or mission-critical networks
- Deep expertise in designing and operating high-throughput data center or HPC networks (routing, switching, QoS, congestion control, and performance tuning)
- Hands-on experience securing networks in regulated or classified environments, including segmentation, encryption, and identity-based access controls
- Strong working knowledge of security frameworks such as NIST 800-53 and the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF)
- Scripting and automation ability in Python, Go, or Bash, and experience with infrastructure as code tools (Ansible, Terraform, Nornir, or similar)
- A track record of setting technical direction for multi-engineer efforts as an architect, technical lead, or senior IC, and mentoring other engineers along the way
