ADP is hiring a Senior Lead Network Security Engineer - Zero Trust
Are you ready to help us design the future-state to secure our Data?
Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to make your mark?
We are seeking a Senior Lead Global Security Engineer to bring deep network engineering experience to ADP’s Global Security Organization (GSO)! Help govern and strengthen the Security Service Edge (SSE) controls that protect associates and servers' access to the internet and SaaS applications. You will combine advanced troubleshooting with technical security governance of SASE platform (e.g. Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access, Zscaler, Fortinet) and associated firewall and proxy controls.
This opportunity is designed for experienced network security engineers and architects who are ready to broaden their impact beyond direct network platform administration and shape a path into technical security governance. You will remain closely involved in traffic analysis, troubleshooting, policy assessment, and remediation validation while expanding your influence across enterprise security decisions. Working with infrastructure owners, you will define security requirements and drive corrective action through established change processes.
Your knowledge of routing, traffic inspection, global policies, and access exceptions will inform security decisions, uncover gaps, and guide implementation by partner teams. Success requires technical credibility, attention to detail, and the ability to move people toward a shared resolution.
Responsibilities include protecting the company and client data from exploitation or misuse, influencing and partnering with the network & cloud engineering teams to develop, deploy, and maintain security controls and services that protect ADP’s network infrastructure and traffic. This role serves in a leadership position that will continuously modernize ADP’s Internet policies, identifying weak control/policies and engineering relevant mitigating controls, that drive towards reducing operational risks associated with data in motion and at rest.
Like what you see? Apply now!
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Key Responsibilities:
- Assess Secure Web Gateway (SWG), next-generation firewall, URL filtering, SaaS inline, and related SSE controls against ADP policies and standards; identify configuration, coverage, and enforcement gaps. Govern access exceptions, allow/block lists, inspection exclusions, and rule lifecycle reviews, confirming business justification, least privilege, accountable ownership, expiration, and evidence of approval. Evaluate new platform capabilities and vendor limitations; define acceptance criteria and validate that deployed controls achieve the intended security outcome.
- Network Egress & Proxy Security: Lead assessments of enterprise internet egress, including firewalls used as forward proxies, explicit proxies, PAC configurations, and alternate routes serving associates and server workloads. Correlate traffic logs, policy configurations, identity, and application dependencies to identify access paths that produce inconsistent enforcement or bypass required SSE controls. Partner with Global Network Solutions (GNS) to rationalize legacy egress, close unauthorized access paths, and align approved exceptions with enterprise standards while preserving required business connectivity.
- Advanced Troubleshooting & Remediation: Investigate complex access issues, suspected vulnerabilities, and control failures using packet captures, session and threat logs, policy matching, DNS analysis, and TLS inspection evidence. Lead technical triage with GNS, Digital Workspace Experience (DWE), security partners, application owners, and vendors; define containment and corrective actions, assign owners, and validate resolution.
- Shadow SaaS & AI Application Governance: Use SaaS discovery, application risk signals, and data loss prevention (DLP) insights to identify unsanctioned applications, risky AI usage, and potential data exposure; coordinate investigation with accountable teams. Improve native SaaS discovery, categorization, and inline controls; connect findings to application intake, governance decisions, exception processes, and enforceable access requirements. Partner with SaaS Governance, AppSec, Privacy, and Legal to implement approved access decisions and location-specific requirements.
- Technical Leadership & Communication: Provide senior technical direction, mentor engineers and analysts, and improve the quality and consistency of team investigations without relying on direct reporting authority. Proactively convene working sessions and escalation calls, resolve competing priorities with sound judgment, and communicate immediate actions alongside longer-term corrective plans. Maintain accurate technical documentation, audit evidence, and metrics covering enforcement coverage, exception aging, alternate egress findings, and remediation progress; explain business impact to leadership.
- Drive the discovery and prioritization of remediation of data controls to meet audit, compliance and ADP’s network data protection requirements, policies, and standards. Ensure global data security network initiatives adhere to continually changing privacy and legal compliance requirements. Assess and evaluate end point and data security control effectiveness, and drive towards improved control effectiveness, consistency, and maturity across the organization.
TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:
- You'll have a bachelor's degree or equivalent.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of progressive experience in network security engineering, security architecture, or related infrastructure security roles, including substantial hands-on enterprise troubleshooting and policy administration.
- Deep practical expertise with Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Netskope, Broadcom/Symantec, Fortinet, or comparable firewall, proxy, or SSE platforms; ability to apply that experience to Prisma Access.
- Strong grounding of TCP/IP, routing, NAT, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS inspection, certificates, VPNs, endpoint connectivity, proxy architectures, and internet egress. Global Protect or comparable clients, explicit and transparent proxies, PAC files, and user-to-workload traffic flows.
- Experience managing global policy exceptions, URL categories, application controls, rule reviews, and least-privilege access; ability to distinguish policy intent from observed enforcement.
- Working knowledge of DLP, CASB/SaaS discovery, IDS/IPS, malware prevention and sandboxing such as Wildfire, protective DNS, threat intelligence, WAF, and DDoS controls, including how these layers interact.
- Strong understanding of data security, encryption, privacy-by-design, and secure logging and monitoring practices.
- Strong knowledge of security frameworks and standards (e.g., OWASP ASVS, SAMM, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls).
- Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams, coordinate urgent technical investigations, and balance tactical response with strategic improvement.
- Ability to turn incomplete or conflicting evidence into a clear technical hypothesis, a defensible recommendation, and a verified remediation outcome.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, emotional intelligence, disciplined follow-through, and close attention to technical and procedural detail.
- Preferred: Prisma Access or comparable SASE experience; SaaS discovery and AI governance; API/scripting automation; SIEM and ServiceNow experience; relevant security or networking certification. Operating and managing Palo Alto Networks SASE Solutions and Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and core product features.
- Relevant security certifications are a plus: CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CSSLP, CEH, SANS/GIAC certifications, or Network Security Certificates such as Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA).

Translate certifications into PERM-ready language
CISSP, CISM, and CEH credentials directly support the minimum requirements your employer lists on the PERM ETA 9089. Document each certification with issued dates and issuing body so your attorney can match them to the job description without gaps.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify that a prospective employer has filed PERM applications for network security roles before. Repeat filers have established internal processes, which shortens the timeline from offer to petition submission.
Check O*NET before your employer writes the job description
The O*NET profile for Network and Computer Systems Administrators and related security titles defines the standard duties DOL expects. If your employer's job description deviates significantly, the PERM audit risk increases, so flag mismatches before the posting goes live.
Clarify EB-2 versus EB-3 eligibility during the offer stage
EB-2 requires a master's degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience in network security. If your degree is in a related field like computer science or electrical engineering, confirm with your employer's attorney that it satisfies the specialty occupation tie-in before the petition is filed.
Search green-card-sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Filter by job title and green card sponsorship history to surface employers actively hiring Network Security Engineers through EB-2 or EB-3 pathways. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL disclosure data so you can prioritize companies that have completed the full PERM-to-I-140 cycle.
Understand how security clearance affects your PERM timeline
Some network security roles require a U.S. government security clearance that foreign nationals cannot hold until after green card approval. Ask your employer directly whether the posted role is clearance-dependent, since that restriction can disqualify you before the PERM recruitment phase begins.
Green Card Network Security Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Network Security Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Network Security Engineer positions qualify for EB-3 as a skilled worker requiring at least a bachelor's degree. If the role requires a master's degree or equivalent, or if you hold a bachelor's plus five years of specialized progressive experience, EB-2 is also available. Your employer's attorney determines which category fits the specific job requirements and your credentials before filing the PERM application.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B visa is temporary, subject to an annual lottery, and tied to a specific employer without a path to permanence on its own. PERM-based green card sponsorship leads directly to lawful permanent residency through the I-140 and adjustment of status process, with no annual cap at the EB-3 level for most countries. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone typically takes six to eighteen months before the I-140 is even filed.
Where can I find employers who sponsor green cards for Network Security Engineers?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Network Security Engineer roles at employers with documented green card sponsorship history, filtered by EB-2 or EB-3 pathway. Because the search draws on DOL disclosure data, you can distinguish employers who have completed the full PERM-to-I-140 cycle from those who have only posted intentions.
What documents should I prepare before starting the PERM green card process?
You'll need official transcripts, degree certificates, and a detailed employment history showing progressive responsibility in network security roles. If your degree is from outside the U.S., a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization is typically required. USCIS also expects documentation that ties your academic background to the specific duties of the Network Security Engineer position your employer is sponsoring.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on an H-1B?
Yes, and starting early is the practical approach. PERM labor certification, I-140 approval, and the adjustment of status queue can collectively take several years. Filing the I-140 before your priority date becomes current locks in your place in the queue, and once your I-140 is approved, USCIS can extend your H-1B status in three-year increments under AC21 provisions while you wait.
