Title: Network Security Engineer
Company: Innoventrics
Location: Dallas, TX
Overview
We are seeking a Microsegmentation Engineer to support a Zero Trust security initiative within a large enterprise environment. This role focuses on designing and implementing segmentation policies to secure application communication across data center and hybrid infrastructures.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong network security foundation, hands-on experience with microsegmentation platforms such as Illumio or Akamai Guardicore Segmentation, and the ability to evaluate application traffic flows to enforce least-privilege access without impacting business operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement microsegmentation policies aligned with Zero Trust principles
- Analyze application dependency mappings to understand traffic flows before enforcement
- Collaborate with application owners to define secure communication requirements
- Evaluate and mitigate risks while ensuring no disruption to production systems
- Support policy lifecycle management (design → test → deploy → monitor)
- Troubleshoot application connectivity issues by analyzing blocked traffic, ports, and services
- Participate in change management processes, including non-prod to production rollouts
- Act as a subject matter expert for segmentation strategy and network security design
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in Network Security Engineering
- Hands-on experience with microsegmentation tools such as:
- Illumio
- Akamai Guardicore Segmentation
- Strong understanding of network fundamentals (TCP/IP, ports, protocols, firewalls)
- Experience designing and implementing segmentation policies (not just execution)
- Ability to analyze east-west traffic flows and application dependencies
- Strong troubleshooting skills in production environments
- Excellent communication skills to work with cross-functional teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with platforms such as:
- VMware NSX
- Prisma Cloud
- Cisco Secure Workload
- Familiarity with log analysis tools (e.g., Splunk)
- Basic understanding of Linux and Windows systems
- Experience in large enterprise or hybrid cloud environments
What We Are Not Looking For
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)-focused profiles
- Cloud-only security engineers without network depth
- Tool-based operators without policy design experience
Ideal Candidate Profile
A Network Security Engineer with hands-on microsegmentation experience who can:
- Design and implement policies independently
- Understand application traffic flows and dependencies
- Anticipate impact before changes are deployed
- Work directly with stakeholders to balance security and availability
