Are you interested in building capabilities that enable the organization with innovation, speed, agility, scalability and efficiency? The Global Technology team takes great pride in our culture where digital transformation is built into our DNA. When you join our organization, you will unlock an exciting and impactful career while growing your skills and advancing your profession at one of the world's leading financial services institutions.
Your Team & Role
As a Lead, Network Security Analyst within the Network Security Strategy & Analysis team, within the ISO Infrastructure Security team, you will serve as a senior individual contributor focused on assessing enterprise network security capabilities, identifying risk and technical debt, and developing actionable strategies for Zero Trust, network segmentation, network access control, and network security modernization. You will partner with Network Engineering, Network Security Operations, Infrastructure, Cloud, Identity, Architecture, and other security teams to translate analysis into prioritized roadmaps and measurable risk reduction. You will explain difficult concepts, influence stakeholders, and work on extremely complex problems where analysis of situations or data requires evaluation of risk, controls, architecture, and business impact.
This role does not own day-to-day administration or operations of network security platforms; instead, this team will use analysis to drive environmental hardening and risk reduction. Success requires technical depth, strategic thinking, strong analytical judgment, and the ability to lead work through influence across multiple teams.
Here Is What You Can Expect on a Typical Day
- Lead complex current-state analysis/assessments of network security architecture, controls, processes, and technical debt across campus, data center, cloud, and remote-access environments.
- Develop strategic recommendations, target-state architectures, transition roadmaps, and prioritized risk-reduction plans for Zero Trust networking, segmentation, NAC, ZTNA, firewall, proxy, and related capabilities.

- Partner with operational and engineering teams that own the technologies to validate findings, define remediation approaches, establish milestones, and drive agreed actions to completion.
- Participate in security architecture and design reviews, documenting requirements, assumptions, risks, compensating controls, and recommended decisions.
- Contribute to reusable reference architectures, security patterns, engineering requirements, decision frameworks, and assessment methods aligned to enterprise standards.
- Communicate complex network security risks and tradeoffs to technical teams, business stakeholders, and senior leaders using concise, evidence-based recommendations.
- Define outcome-oriented metrics and contribute to executive reporting that demonstrates risk reduction, control maturity, roadmap progress, and technical-debt retirement.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and industry practices and recommend where they should influence the network security strategy.
- Be the network security subject matter expert within the ISO Infrastructure Security Team.
The Skills & Expertise You Bring
- Bachelor of Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience in related fields.
- Advanced network security engineering, architecture, advisory, or strategy experience in a large and complex enterprise environment.
- Ability to independently structure ambiguous problems, develop analysis plans, evaluate alternatives, and deliver clear recommendations with minimal guidance.
- Ability to functionally lead complex work, mentor others, and effectively leverage diverse ideas, experiences, and perspectives.
- Strong business insight and the ability to balance security risk, operational feasibility, customer impact, cost, and delivery constraints.
- Experience with agile delivery or program-management methods and cross-functional execution.
- Excellent problem solving, written communication, executive presentation, facilitation, and collaboration skills.
Advanced Experience and/or Expertise with Several of the Following
- Enterprise network architecture and security controls across campus, branch, data center, cloud, internet edge, and remote-access environments.
- Firewalls, secure web gateways, proxies, ZTNA, VPN, DNS security, WAF, load balancers, and network detection capabilities, including platforms such as Check Point, Cisco, and Zscaler.
- Zero Trust principles, NIST SP 800-207, identity-aware access, least privilege, continuous verification, and policy-based access models.
- Network segmentation and microsegmentation strategies, trust-zone design, application dependency analysis, and east-west traffic controls.
- NAC strategy and design, including device discovery, profiling, authentication, authorization, 802.1X, exception handling, and phased enterprise adoption.
- Security architecture reviews, threat modeling, risk assessments, control design, compensating controls, and remediation planning.
- Information Security policies, standards, procedures, engineering specifications, NIST frameworks, ISO 27000 standards, NIST 800-53, and CIS Controls.
- Security analytics using SIEM, network telemetry, configuration data, asset inventories, vulnerability data, and CMDB/IPAM sources to identify and quantify risk.
- Metrics, KRIs, KPIs, maturity assessments, business cases, and multi-year security roadmaps.
Preferred Qualifications
- CISSP, CCSP, CISM, SANS GIAC, or comparable security certification.
- Advanced network or security certifications from Cisco, Check Point, Zscaler, GIAC, or equivalent providers.
- Experience driving large-scale Zero Trust, segmentation, NAC, firewall modernization, or ZTNA transformation programs.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Network Security Engineer
Align your credentials to SOC 15-1212
USCIS evaluates specialty occupation eligibility against your specific SOC code. Pull the O*NET profile for 15-1212 and confirm your degree field and certifications map directly to the listed knowledge areas before applications go out.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Network Security Engineer roles by employers who have filed LCAs for this exact title. Verified filing history tells you which companies have cleared the DOL prevailing-wage process for this role before.
Verify prevailing wage before the offer stage
Run your target location and SOC code through the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating. If an offer lands below the Level II or III wage for your metro, the employer's LCA won't clear DOL certification and the H-1B petition stalls.
Flag clearance-adjacent roles carefully
Many senior network security positions at defense contractors require or prefer security clearances. H-1B holders are generally ineligible for secret or top-secret clearances, so filter out roles where clearance is listed as a hard requirement, not just preferred.
Secure your documents before cap registration opens
USCIS opens H-1B cap registration each March. Have your degree evaluations, credential transcripts, and employment verification letters finalized before your employer submits registration. Missing documents can delay the I-129 filing after selection.
Ask employers about cap-exempt filing paths
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and certain government-affiliated entities are cap-exempt and can file H-1B petitions year-round. Network security roles at these institutions skip the lottery entirely, so include them in your employer search.
H-1B Visa Senior Network Security Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Network Security Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. USCIS consistently recognizes senior network security engineering as a specialty occupation under SOC 15-1212. The role requires theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge, and a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, or a directly related field is the standard entry requirement. Roles where a generic four-year degree in any field would satisfy the employer's requirements can face RFE scrutiny, so the degree-to-job match matters.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most frequently for this role?
Financial services, cloud infrastructure, government contracting, healthcare systems, and large enterprise technology firms file the most LCAs for senior network security titles. Defense contractors are active sponsors but often structure roles around clearance eligibility, which creates complications for H-1B holders. You can browse employers with verified LCA filing history for this title on Migrate Mate to narrow your search to companies that have already completed the DOL prevailing-wage process.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect H-1B sponsorship for this role?
Before your employer files the I-129 petition, it must obtain a certified LCA from DOL confirming the offered wage meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. For Senior Network Security Engineers, that typically means a Level II, III, or IV wage depending on your seniority and metro area. You can verify the applicable wage for any location using the OFLC Wage Search before you reach the offer stage.
Can a security clearance requirement disqualify an H-1B holder from this role?
In practice, yes. Most U.S. security clearances at the secret level and above require U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, which H-1B holders don't have. If a job posting lists a clearance as required rather than preferred, you won't be eligible to hold that clearance while on H-1B status. Roles that list clearance as preferred but not required are sometimes accessible, particularly for network security work on unclassified systems.
What happens to H-1B status if a sponsored Senior Network Security Engineer is laid off?
USCIS provides a 60-day grace period after involuntary termination for H-1B holders to find a new employer, file for a change of status, or depart the country. If a new employer files an H-1B transfer petition before the 60-day window closes, you can start work as soon as the receipt notice is issued under portability rules. Senior network security roles have strong re-employment demand, and the 60-day window is often sufficient given the market for this specialty.
