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.
