- GoDaddy's Network Security Engineering and Operations team is searching for a Network Security Policy Engineer to coordinate the quality of network access rules within our hybrid environment.
- You will audit and control policies throughout our security zones in this role.
- Additionally, you will check connectivity requests against approved models and develop governance automation to expand with our environment!
Responsibilities
- Audit firewall, segmentation, and zone-to-zone policy to find overly permissive, unused, shadowed, and drifted rules, and report on zone posture and risk
- Review connectivity requests from application and platform teams, and partner with them to redesign requests that don't fit approved patterns
- Write and maintain firewall rules, ACLs, routing, and segmentation changes with strong change-management rigor
- Manage temporary ACLs and policy exceptions fully, from designated owner and expiry to remediation
- Build automated checks that catch non-compliant policy before production, and replace manual governance work with repeatable jobs
Requirements
- 3+ years in network engineering, network security, or infrastructure operations supporting a large production environment
- Hands-on firewall policy experience on an enterprise platform such as Juniper SRX or Palo Alto Networks, including troubleshooting with logs and packet captures
- Strong TCP/IP, routing, NAT, and DNS fundamentals, and the ability to write ACLs across network devices, hosts, and public cloud
- Solid understanding of security zones, segmentation, and least-privilege access, including AWS networking (VPCs, transit gateways, security groups)
- Python scripting to query APIs, parse rule and log data, and automate recurring tasks
- Clear written communication and experience managing requests from start to finish with engineering teams, including suggesting alternatives when a request can't be approved as written
- Experience using AI tools to solve real problems, and knowing where they fall short
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with Tufin or similar policy governance tools!
- Experience with microsegmentation platforms such as Illumio
- Policy-as-code experience using Git and CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions)
- Exposure to IDS/IPS or NDR platforms
- Certifications such as JNCIS, PCNSE, CCNP Security, or AWS Advanced Networking
