About the Role
Security at Saronic is a force multiplier, not a blocker. We’re looking for a Security Engineer to own network security end to end, including the corporate enterprise, our on-prem and production environments, our AWS cloud, and the communications and cryptography that keep autonomous vessels connected in contested, bandwidth-limited environments. This is an opportunity to design network security across a uniquely broad surface (enterprise, on-prem, cloud, and vessel comms), solve genuinely hard problems in securing constrained maritime links, and build the automation that keeps segmentation enforced as the footprint scales.
Responsibilities
- Own firewalls, segmentation and microsegmentation, wireless, DNS, VPN/ZTNA, and device hardening across a growing multi-site footprint, including corporate offices, data centers, and on-prem and production environments.
- Move the enterprise toward zero-trust access and retire flat-network and legacy-VPN patterns.
- Design secure network architecture in AWS (commercial and GovCloud): VPC segmentation, private connectivity, and egress control.
- Secure all vessel networking and communications, including cellular (LTE/5G), RF and radio links, SATCOM, mesh networking, and line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight connectivity, along with the command-and-control paths to and from vessels and platforms such as Echelon.
- Own cryptography and key management for platform communications, protect data in transit and at rest, and design resilient, secure links over intermittent, contested, low-bandwidth, and high-latency conditions.
- Increase network visibility and observability (flow logs, telemetry, and monitoring) across enterprise, on-prem, and cloud.
- Partner with Information Technology to support the build-out of the Network Operations Center (NOC).
- Automate network security (segmentation-as-code, configuration validation).
- Support network-based automation and monitoring.
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on enterprise network security experience, or an equivalent combination of experience and demonstrated ability
- Designed and operated firewalls, segmentation, VPN, and wireless in production (i.e., Palo Alto, Cisco, Aruba; GlobalProtect, WireGuard/IPsec)
- Strong L3-L7 fundamentals: routing/BGP, TCP/UDP, TLS/PKI, and DNS
- Cloud network security experience (AWS VPC design and controls)
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
