Troubleshoot network performance, connectivity, and security incidents

Maintain documentation for network architecture, configurations, and security policies

Collaborate with IT and security teams to align network infrastructure with broader security standards

Support compliance efforts related to network and IT security requirements

Stay current on emerging network security threats and Aruba/HPE platform capabilities

What You Bring

Strong hands-on experience with Aruba networking and security products

Experience with HP Enterprise (HPE) infrastructure and platforms

Experience with network access control (NAC) solutions

Familiarity with SIEM tools and security monitoring platforms

Experience supporting compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001)
