Kelly Services Network Security Engineer will strengthen and modernize our enterprise security posture. You will help drive next-generation firewall initiatives, own network security controls post-migration, and serve as a network-focused escalation point during incident response and recovery. This is a hands-on and collaborative role, partnering with Infrastructure Engineering and Architecture teams to embed security best practices across both data center and cloud environments.

What You’ll Be Accountable for :

  • Retire unused rules through periodic hygiene reviews and enforce baseline policies.
  • Integrate with threat intelligence sources to maintain a strong defensive posture.
  • Application & Web Security

  • Incident Response & Threat Hunting

  • Serve as an escalation point for complex network incidents, reconstructing sessions, and applying containment actions.
  • Hunt for anomalies in traffic patterns (, beaconing, DGA domains, covert channels) and document findings.
  • Exposure Reduction & Segmentation

  • Enforce least privilege networking and advise on segmentation designs (VLANs, ACLs, firewalls).
  • Eliminate “rule debt” and overly permissive access patterns.
  • Monitoring, SIEM & Detections

  • Ensure network security logs integrate into enterprise monitoring and SIEM platforms.
  • Collaborate with the SOC to improve detection fidelity and reduce noise / MTTR.
  • Automation & Playbooks

  • Automate policy actions using APIs and scripting (Python, PowerShell, etc.).
  • Maintain playbooks and runbooks for consistent incident response execution.
  • Advisory & SME Support

  • Serve as a subject matter expert for network security in enterprise projects.
  • Provide architectural guidance on firewalls, DNS security, proxies, and secure remote access solutions.
  • Essential Skills, Knowledge & Experiences :

  • 5+ years in network security engineering within enterprise environments.
  • Strong experience managing and tuning next-generation firewalls.
  • Knowledge of TCP / IP, NAT, TLS, VPN, DNS, and common attack tactics.
  • Hands-on firewall migrations and integration with enterprise networking.
  • Familiarity with secure web gateway, remote access, and WAF solutions.
  • Scripting proficiency (Python or PowerShell).
  • Strong cross-team collaboration and a mindset that blends curiosity, problem-solving, and professionalism.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud networking and firewall integrations across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Familiarity with SIEM platforms and vulnerability management tools.
  • Exposure to zero-trust designs and security-by-design principles.
  • Participation in tabletop exercises or purple-team engagements.
  • Work Setup & Travel

  • Remote () with periodic travel for data center migration cutovers (, Chicago, IL; Ashburn, VA; Troy, MI).
  • Total compensation package and benefits applicable to the position – understanding that each person has uniqueprofessional and personal needs focused on your total well-being. Explore our range of benefits for full-time employees at :
