THE RIGHT STAFF is proud to partner with a growing organization in their search for a Senior Network & Security Engineer. This is a critical, highly technical role for someone who is currently hands-on with modern infrastructure, networking, VMware, and cybersecurity tools.
*ABOUT THE ROLE:*
The IT Manager will be a key contributor to IT operations, with a heavy focus on hands-on engineering, infrastructure, and cybersecurity. You will support and secure a hybrid cloud/on-prem environment while owning daily security operations, major technical projects, and escalated issues.

* Manage and operate advanced security tools including CrowdStrike, ThreatLocker, Abnormal Security, Vectra AI, Microsoft Defender, and SonicWALL firewalls.
* Investigate logs and alerts across endpoints, identity, email, and network traffic – every alert is reviewed and validated.
* Approve application elevations, access requests, and security policy changes while maintaining least-privilege principles.
* Maintain and update security policies, firmware, and configurations as standards evolve.
* Lead and support major initiatives including software rewrite projects, custom/homegrown application support, Azure storage projects, and infrastructure upgrades.
* Design and execute network expansions, office buildouts, and hardware deployments across multiple locations.
* Serve as escalation point for complex helpdesk issues and participate in after-hours on-call rotation.
* Develop documentation including runbooks, escalation paths, and security standards.
* Evaluate and onboard third-party vendors for managed services, backups, and tooling.
*MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:*
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
* 7+ years of experience in Network Engineering / IT Infrastructure roles.
* 3+ years in a senior or lead-level technical role.
* 3+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience (incident response, breach prevention, security tooling).
* Strong hands-on experience with VMware ESXi, vCenter, and Horizon View (VDI).
* Experience supporting hybrid environments (Azure/Entra ID + on-prem).
* Proven experience with modern security tools such as CrowdStrike, ThreatLocker, Microsoft Defender, Abnormal Security, or similar.
* Demonstrated experience leading technical projects such as migrations, buildouts, or system integrations.
