Virtual Network Security Policy Specialist (Remote)

Let’s Talk About What You’ll Really Be Doing

You’re not just tweaking firewall settings and double-checking access controls. Here, you’re shaping how we build trust in every remote connection, policy, and security layer. If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this network policy so confusing?” — you’ll love what we’re doing.

We’re building more intelligent systems, not just stricter ones. You’ll play the lead in designing clear, reliable virtual network security policies that protect data without slowing anyone down.

And since we’re remote too, we get it. You’ll have flexibility, absolute ownership, and a team that’s got your back.

What Your Days Might Look Like

Let’s paint the picture. Say it’s Tuesday morning.

You start your day with a short sync call. Jay from DevOps flags a weird traffic spike in one of our virtual networks. You don’t panic. You dive in, review the logs, spot a misconfigured rule, and patch it before lunch.

Later, you review a draft security policy for a new virtual lab the engineering team is spinning up. You keep it simple, effective, and scalable.

By afternoon, you’re in a 1:1 chat with someone from HR—they need a secure VPN path to access sensitive onboarding docs. You give them a solution that actually works. They thank you (and maybe send a meme).

Why Your Work Matters

Every policy you touch protects someone’s data. Every tweak you make can prevent a breach. You’re not just enforcing security—you’re enabling safe, productive work for teams around the world.

We’re a remote-first organization. That means our network isn’t behind a traditional firewall—it’s everywhere. You’ll help us keep it secure without adding friction or frustration.

A Few Things You’ll Handle

We won’t list every task (because, honestly, things change). But here’s what you can expect to spend time on:

• Designing and refining virtual network security policies across cloud platforms.
• Reviewing firewall rules, access controls, and VPN tunnels.
• Working with engineering, compliance, and ops teams to align policies with real-world needs.
• Investigating incidents and writing clear, useful post-mortems.
• Staying current on threats, trends, and best practices in network security.
• Automating tasks where it makes sense. Repeating yourself is so last year.

How We Keep Things Human

Remote work can get lonely. We know that. So we do things differently.

We have weekly coffee chats, not just standups. When someone’s dog barks in the background? We say hi. If you’re stuck on a problem, you won’t spin alone. Our Slack is full of smart folks who love to pitch in.

Last month, Maya from IT rewrote a security policy template that saved everyone hours. We gave her a shoutout during our Friday wins session. That’s how we roll.

Your Toolkit (What You’ve Probably Worked With)

If you’re reading this thinking, “Yup, that sounds like my day-to-day,” great. Here are a few tools and experiences that help:

• Firm grasp of cloud-native network security (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Hands-on experience with Zero Trust frameworks and access control.
• Solid understanding of VPNs, firewalls, and network segmentation.
• Experience building, auditing, or implementing security policies in distributed environments.
• Comfortable writing documentation that people actually read.
• Familiar with tools like Terraform, Ansible, or scripting for automation.

You don’t need to check every box. We care more about how you think than which acronyms you’ve memorized.

What Success Looks Like

You know you’re crushing it when:

• People come to you not just for answers, but for clarity.
• Policies you write make engineers say, “That was actually helpful.”
• Incidents drop because your work made things smoother and safer.
• You simplify, not complicate.
• You’re proud of the calm you bring to the chaos.

Challenges? Yep. But We Tackle Them Together.

Some days, things get messy. A vendor rolls out a surprise update. A new hire needs secure access now. Or you’re balancing risk with speed.

But here’s the thing: you won’t face that pressure alone. We share wins, but we also share roadblocks. And when mistakes happen (because they do), we learn and move forward. No blame games.

Your Impact Goes Beyond Tech

This isn’t just about closing security gaps. You’re creating confidence—in our systems, in our team, and in our customers.

When someone logs in securely from a café in Prague or a coworking space in Chicago, you made that safe. When sensitive data stays protected during a system rollout, that’s you, too.

Security doesn’t have to feel like a wall. You’ll help make it feel like a smart safety net.

What You Can Expect From Us

We keep things human. That means:

• You’ll have a clear onboarding plan and honest people to guide you.
• We’ll treat your time with respect—no endless Zoom marathons.
• You’ll work async when it works best.
• You’ll have room to grow, experiment, and lead.
• And yes, we pay well. Your annual salary? $135,500.

Curious What Your First Week Looks Like?

Day 1: Meet your manager. Get your laptop. No pressure. Just get comfy.

Day 2: Join a virtual team welcome session. Ask all the questions you want.

Day 3: Review current policies. Spot a few things you might improve.

Day 5: Jump into your first real project. We’ll walk with you.

By Week 2? You’re rolling.

Let’s Wrap It Up

You don’t need to be the loudest voice in the room. You need to care deeply about doing good, thoughtful work that keeps people safe.

If you’ve ever fixed a problem and thought, “That should never have been a problem to begin with,” we think you’ll love it here.
