NetApp is hiring a Network Security Engineer

About the Role

NetApp is hiring a Network Security Engineer to join the Engineering Security Operations Team. In this role, you will protect enterprise infrastructure and enable the secure delivery of business services. You will own and operate core security platforms, lead vulnerability identification and remediation, and drive automation and continuous improvement.

What You'll Do

  • Operate and maintain vulnerability scanning tools to identify, validate, and prioritize vulnerabilities across networks, servers, endpoints, containers, and cloud resources.
  • Triage findings, eliminate false positives, determine exploitability and business impact, and define remediation guidance aligned to risk.
  • Identify and drive remediation of weak credentials and insecure authentication patterns across environments.
  • Administer Palo Alto firewalls, including policy management, NAT, threat prevention, logging, monitoring, and rulebase hygiene.
  • Manage F5 load balancers, including secure configuration, TLS/cipher posture, certificate lifecycle, and traffic flow changes.
  • Collaborate with teams to design and implement secure network segmentation and access controls.
  • Enhance identity and privileged access controls focusing on least privilege, access governance, and secure workflows.
  • Administer PAM and secrets management platforms, including onboarding, policy configuration, rotation, and integrations.
  • Remediate over-privileged access and implement role-based access patterns.
  • Drive remediation efforts with Engineering, IT, and business owners, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed within SLAs.
  • Provide actionable remediation plans, validate fixes, and document residual risk.
  • Participate in architecture and design reviews to prevent recurring issues and improve security-by-design outcomes.
  • Maintain and improve asset inventories and security standards, ensuring systems are discoverable, owned, classified, and covered by security controls.
  • Define and enforce baseline configuration standards for network/security devices and infrastructure components.
  • Support rapid response activities for security events, including investigation support, containment recommendations, emergency changes, and post-incident corrective actions.
  • Partner with SOC/IR functions and Global Security to enhance detections, logging, and response playbooks.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and metrics for vulnerability posture, remediation performance, firewall/load balancer changes, and control coverage.
  • Produce regular reporting for leadership, translating technical findings into business risk and prioritized action.
  • Create and maintain clear documentation for security assessments, configurations, procedures, and remediation activities.
  • Drive tooling selection, integration, and automation for security activities (scanning, reporting, ticketing, policy validation, compliance evidence, and operational tasks).
  • Improve operational efficiency through scripting, infrastructure-as-code patterns, and repeatable processes.
  • Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and best practices; refine security policies, standards, and procedures.
