Network Administrator (Cybersecurity-Focused)

Location: Southfield, MI
Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site
* At this moment we are not considering any applications outside of Michigan.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Network Administrator with strong cybersecurity expertise to design, secure, and support our enterprise network infrastructure. This role is critical to protecting organizational data, ensuring network reliability, and proactively defending against cyber threats.

This is a hands-on, engineering-focused role—not a policy-only or compliance-only position. The ideal candidate must be comfortable troubleshooting firewalls, VPN tunnels, routing issues, and real-time security events in production environments.

This role will also support and optimize our Rapid7 (InsightIDR) platform, including agent deployment, log ingestion, alert investigation, and integration with network and endpoint systems.

Cybersecurity & Risk Management

Implement security controls (IDS/IPS, segmentation, zero-trust)
Investigate threats using logs from firewalls, endpoints, and SIEM tools
Identify and remediate issues like brute force attacks, VPN abuse, and DNS anomalies

Firewall & WatchGuard Administration

Own firewall architecture and policy design
Configure and manage WatchGuard firewalls
Troubleshoot site-to-site VPN issues (e.g., Phase 1 up / Phase 2 down)

SIEM / Rapid7 Operations

Deploy and manage Rapid7 Insight Agent (via GPO, scripts, or RMM)
Maintain log ingestion from AD, servers, firewalls, and endpoints
Investigate alerts and tune detections in InsightIDR
