monitoring, and network recording platforms across a large, distributed

enterprise. The ideal candidate has deep experience in network

forensics, packet analytics, and telemetry architecture, combined with

hands-on familiarity supporting Zero Trust visibility and segmentation

strategies.



This role owns the end-to-end lifecycle for Endace systems—including

design, installation, configuration, maintenance, and long-term

optimization—while integrating the platform with SIEM/SOAR, detection

engineering, analytics tooling, and broader Zero Trust security

controls.



Responsibilities include leading the design, deployment, and

configuration of Endace appliances for enterprise-scale packet capture.

Developing packet capture strategies aligned to network architecture,

mission requirements, and Zero Trust visibility controls. Building

high-availability, scalable, and resilient Endace clusters across data

centers and cloud-connected environments. Integrating Endace with

analytics ecosystems (SIEM, SOAR, NDR, EDR, threat intel, investigation

platforms). Maintaining and tuning Endace hardware and software for

optimal performance, including upgrades, patching, sensor tuning, and

storage lifecycle. Troubleshooting packet loss, timing drift, flow

indexing issues, clock synchronization, and performance bottlenecks.

Monitoring device health, capacity, and telemetry fidelity to ensure

consistent, forensically-sound data capture. Managing PCAP retention

strategies, indexing policies, and storage allocation across distributed

deployments. Aligning Endace visibility architecture with Zero Trust

telemetry requirements and continuous verification workflows; Ensuring

packet capture and telemetry support identity-aware network segmentation

and policy enforcement. Supporting development of traffic baselines,

segmentation decisions, and enforcement models using Endace data.

Automating deployment, configuration, and sustainment workflows using

Ansible, Terraform, or scripting. Building dashboards, runbooks,

playbooks, and investigation workflows for SOC, threat hunters, and IR

teams. Partnering with network engineering, cloud teams, and security

operations to ensure full-spectrum telemetry coverage. Deliverin

training and guidance to operational teams on Endace platform usage and

best practices.
