Job Description

Role: Threat Implementation Engineer

Pay-$62/hr

Location: Remote

hiring manager is specifically looking for engineers with hands-on experience working directly with security appliances , rather than candidates with primarily analytical or platform usage skills. The key platforms in scope are:

  • Malware Protection – Trellix/FireEye
  • Secure Web Gateway (Proxy) – Skyhigh/McAfee
  • Orchestration – F5 SSLO
  • Scripting – Automation across these platforms using Python, Perl, etc.

Among these, proxy expertise (Skyhigh SWG) is in particularly high demand, as the client has a significant number of appliances that need to be upgraded or replaced. While experience across all three platforms is valuable, candidates with strong SWG engineering backgrounds will stand out.

Position Summary: Threat Implementation Engineer
