Role Summary: 

The Senior Support Specialist is a senior security practitioner responsible for defending the organization’s network, infrastructure, and cloud environments against internal and external threats. This role operates at the intersection of security engineering and operations, with direct ownership of network security controls, threat detection, and incident response. Support responsibilities exist to enable security outcomes, not as an end in themselves. 

This position requires hands-on expertise, sound judgment under pressure, and the ability to identify systemic risk before it becomes an incident. 

Core Responsibilities:

Network Security Ownership 

Architect, deploy, and continuously harden network security controls including firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, segmentation, and zero-trust access models. 

Own network perimeter and internal trust boundaries, including firewall policy design, rule lifecycle management, and access validation. 

Actively monitor network traffic and telemetry to identify indicators of compromise, lateral movement, and policy violations. 

Lead vulnerability discovery and remediation for network and infrastructure components. 

Threat Detection & Incident Response 

Serve as the primary escalation point for all security incidents involving network intrusion, unauthorized access, malware, or data exposure. 

Perform deep forensic analysis using logs, packet captures, and endpoint data to determine scope and impact. 

Contain, eradicate, and recover from incidents while preserving evidence and maintaining operational continuity. 

Drive post-incident root cause analysis and ensure corrective controls are implemented, not merely documented. 

Security Operations Engineering 

Maintain and tune security tooling including SIEM, NDR, EDR/XDR, and vulnerability management platforms. 

Define detection logic, alert thresholds, and response playbooks aligned to real threat models rather than checkbox compliance. 

Reduce noise and false positives while improving time-to-detect and time-to-contain metrics. 

Security-Driven Support & Escalation 

Handle only the most complex escalations where security risk, system integrity, or availability is at stake. 

Enforce secure configuration standards across systems, networks, and cloud services. 

Mentor support and IT staff on secure operational practices and adversarial thinking. 

Risk, Governance & Assurance 

Translate security policy and control requirements into enforceable technical reality. 

Support audits and assessments by producing defensible, technically accurate evidence. 

Continuously assess gaps between documented controls and actual security posture. 

Architecture & Strategic Hardening 

Influence infrastructure and application design decisions to reduce attack surface and blast radius. 

Identify architectural weaknesses and advocate for durable, long-term security improvements. 

Track emerging threats and adjust defensive strategies accordingly. 

Required Experience:

7+ years in security engineering, network security, SOC, or infrastructure defense roles. 

Deep, hands-on experience with enterprise networking and security architectures. 

Proven incident response experience involving real-world security events. 

Strong understanding of attacker techniques, lateral movement, and network-based threats. 

Experience securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP). 

Preferred Experience:

Security certifications (CISSP, GSEC, GCIA, CySA+, or equivalent). 

Experience operating within SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks. 

Scripting or automation capability to improve detection, response, or control enforcement. 

Background supporting SaaS, high-availability, or distributed environments. 

What Success Looks Like:

Security incidents are detected earlier and contained faster. 

Network access is tightly controlled, auditable, and aligned with least-privilege principles. 

Recurring issues are eliminated through structural fixes rather than repeated response. 

Security is embedded into daily operations, not bolted on after failures.
