Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a senior-level Network Security Automation Developer to drive next-generation automation for a major financial institution’s Network Security SRE team. This is a true builder role: you will design, develop, and maintain full-stack Python/PowerShell automation frameworks that validate configurations, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance across firewalls, VPNs, proxies, and Azure/cloud infrastructure.
Working in a DevSecOps model, you’ll integrate solutions into CI/CD pipelines, create intelligent validation frameworks that detect anomalies, and deliver dashboards that provide real-time visibility into network health and security posture. The previous person in this seat successfully reduced manual effort by 80%+ through API-driven testing, automated rollback mechanisms, and scalable compliance tooling — we need someone who can operate at or above that level.
If you live for writing robust automation that makes security faster and more reliable, this is your chance to own mission-critical tools used enterprise-wide. Pay rate is competitive and reflective of senior expertise.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.

Required Skills & Experience

Extensive Python development experience – writing production-grade, scalable automation frameworks and scripts
Deep knowledge of network security protocols and controls (VPN, firewalls, OAuth, proxy, IDS/IPS, secure configuration baselines)
Strong DevOps & CI/CD pipeline experience (Git, Jenkins, Azure DevOps or equivalent) with emphasis on DevSecOps practices
Proven ability to test, debug, and troubleshoot complex automation scripts in live network and cloud environments (not QA-level, but automation reliability focused)
Hands-on experience automating configuration validation, compliance checks, and security policy enforcement via APIs and Infrastructure as Code
Comfortable working across Azure/cloud networking and hybrid environments

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

PowerShell automation experience (complements Python)
Experience building or enhancing dashboards in Azure Monitor, Grafana, or similar
Familiarity with orchestration tools (Ansible, Terraform) and cloud governance controls
Background in Site Reliability Engineering or network security operations
