1. Architect Secure VPN Solutions:
   • Design scalable, high-performance VPN architectures tailored to enterprise needs, including hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
   • Evaluate and select appropriate VPN protocols (e.g., OpenVPN, IPsec, WireGuard) and encryption methodologies.
   • Ensure compatibility with existing network infrastructure, including firewalls, routers, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).

2. Enhance Security Posture:
   • Implement robust authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and certificate-based access.
   • Employ advanced encryption standards (e.g., AES-256) and key exchange protocols (e.g., Diffie-Hellman, IKEv2) to secure communication.
   • Develop and enforce strict access controls and user permissions policies.

3. Network Performance Optimization:
   • Conduct in-depth network analysis to ensure minimal latency and maximum uptime.
   • Implement load balancing and failover mechanisms for high availability.
   • Optimize bandwidth utilization and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

4. Compliance and Risk Management:
   • Ensure VPN solutions comply with industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
   • Perform risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and implement mitigations.
   • Stay updated on emerging threats and integrate preventive measures.

5. Monitoring and Maintenance:
   • Deploy monitoring tools to track VPN usage, detect anomalies, and prevent unauthorized access.
   • Regularly update firmware, software, and security patches for all VPN components.
   • Develop incident response plans and procedures for VPN-related security events.

6. Collaboration and Documentation:
   • Work closely with IT, cybersecurity, and DevOps teams to align VPN solutions with organizational goals.
   • Document architecture designs, configurations, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
   • Provide training and guidance to IT staff on best practices for VPN usage and maintenance.  

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in network engineering and cybersecurity, with a focus on VPN technologies.
• Deep understanding of networking concepts, including routing, switching, DNS, and BGP.
• Expertise in VPN protocols and tools (e.g., OpenVPN, IPsec, SSL/TLS, WireGuard).
• Proficiency in firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, and SIEM solutions.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and hybrid environments.  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Professional certifications such as CISSP, CCNP Security, or CEH.
• Knowledge of zero-trust architectures and Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) frameworks.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD deployment methods  

Soft Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across diverse teams.

Benefits:

• Salary of $125k plus equity
• Comprehensive benefits package  
• Fully remote team
