Senior Specialist, Cybersecurity – Network Security Testing, Routing – OSPF, BGP, Palo Alto, Firewall/TACACS+, RADIUS

Role Overview

• Analyze security issues in test and production networks and determine appropriate security solutions
• Perform functional, integration, performance, and security testing on multi-vendor network solutions and network elements
• Design, implement, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks to enhance network security testing efficiency and coverage
• Automate repetitive testing tasks to increase reliability and speed of test cycles
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation of security controls and features
• Develop and document test plans, results, and defects; collaborate with vendors, designers, and operations team to resolve issues
• Contribute to continuous testing improvements in network development lifecycle
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize automated testing processes to ensure accuracy and reliability
• Evaluate and introduce new automation tools and methodologies to improve testing processes

Requirements

• Minimum 8 years of experience with security in large scale networks
• Strong knowledge of network fundamentals (TCP/IP, VLANs, subnetting)
• Hands-on experience with routing protocols (BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP, static routing), ACLs, AAA (TACACS, RADIUS)
• Familiarity with Cisco, Juniper, or other major vendor routing equipment
• Familiarity with Palo Alto, Juniper, Cisco, or other major vendor firewall equipment
• Demonstrated experience in developing and maintaining automated test scripts for network security validation
• Proficiency in network automation and scripting (Python, Ansible, shell scripts, etc.)
• Experience integrating automated test cases into CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with logging/monitoring tools (Syslog, SNMP, GNMI, SIEM)
• Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills
• Ability to analyze test automation results and troubleshoot automation failures
• Knowledge of best practices in automated testing, including test data management and reporting
• Experienced in implementing and managing TACACS+ and RADIUS based AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) solutions across enterprise network environments.
• Hands-on experience with Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, FreeRADIUS, and multi-vendor network security environments.
• Familiarity with applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) techniques in cybersecurity contexts (e.g., anomaly detection, threat hunting, behavioral analytics, or risk scoring)
• Experience leveraging AI-enabled tools (such as Copilot for Security, Darktrace, CrowdStrike Charlotte AI, or custom LLM integrations) to enhance detection, response, and automation workflows
• Understanding of LLM safety, prompt engineering, or AI governance frameworks (e.g., NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act readiness) is a plus
• Exposure to data science fundamentals relevant to security (pattern recognition, supervised vs. unsupervised learning, model validation)
• Awareness of AI-driven risks (e.g., adversarial ML, data poisoning, model hallucination) and their mitigation within enterprise environments
• Interest in leveraging GenAI for security operations, such as summarizing alerts, drafting reports, or automating incident triage.
