The posting

Position Overview

We are seeking a Network Operations Center (NOC) Lead for Security Engineering to lead daily network monitoring and operations while strengthening the security and resilience of our infrastructure. This hands-on technical leader will guide NOC personnel, coordinate incident response and service restoration, and partner with Security Engineering to implement and maintain network security controls. The ideal candidate combines strong network troubleshooting and security engineering skills with the ability to coach a team, prioritize operational risk, and communicate clearly during incidents.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead daily NOC operations, prioritize alerts and tickets, coordinate work assignments, coach NOC personnel, review ticket quality, and maintain clear escalation paths and shift handoffs.
  • Monitor network availability, performance, capacity, and security telemetry; investigate anomalies and restore services within established service targets.
  • Serve as the technical escalation point for complex connectivity issues involving routing, switching, DNS, VPNs, wireless networks, and firewalls.
  • Partner with Security Engineering to implement and maintain firewalls, network segmentation, secure remote access, and intrusion detection and prevention controls.
  • Coordinate with security operations and incident response teams to triage suspected security incidents, preserve relevant logs, and execute approved containment and recovery actions.
  • Lead major incident coordination, provide timely stakeholder updates, drive root cause analysis and corrective actions, and report on service availability, restoration times, recurring incidents, and remediation progress.
  • Oversee approved network changes, patching, vulnerability remediation, configuration backups, and recovery validation with appropriate testing and rollback plans.
  • Maintain monitoring coverage, tune alerts, automate routine operational tasks, and keep network diagrams, asset records, runbooks, and procedures current.

Required Qualifications

  • Eligibility Requirements: U.S. citizenship is required for this position under applicable federal contract requirements. Candidates must also be able to obtain and maintain the security clearance required for the role.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience in network operations, network engineering, or security engineering, including leading technical personnel and coordinating incident response.
  • Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing and switching, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, and network troubleshooting tools.
  • Hands-on experience administering firewalls, access controls, network segmentation, and secure configurations, along with network monitoring, centralized logging, and alert triage.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting government or other regulated environments and applying security baselines such as NIST guidance or DISA STIGs.
  • Relevant certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or vendor-specific network security credentials.
  • Experience with cloud or hybrid networking, SIEM tools, or network automation using Python, PowerShell, or Ansible.
  • Working knowledge of Windows and Linux networking, patch management, and change control practices.
  • Experience improving NOC processes, mentoring analysts, and coordinating with service providers and security operations teams.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
