What is a Security Engineer at Flexential?
As a Security Engineer at Flexential, you play a pivotal role in protecting the hybrid IT infrastructure that powers businesses across the country. Flexential is not just a standard enterprise; it is a provider of colocation, cloud, and connectivity solutions. This means your scope often extends beyond internal corporate security to the very backbone of the data center and cloud environments that customers rely on.
In this role, you act as the guardian of availability and integrity. You are expected to bridge the gap between traditional network engineering and modern cybersecurity operations. You will likely work on maintaining firewalls, securing virtualized environments, and troubleshooting complex connectivity issues that have security implications. The impact of your work is immediate—ensuring that critical customer workloads remain secure and accessible 24/7.
This position requires a "sole ownership" mentality. You are not just a cog in a machine; you are a problem solver who takes initiative. Whether you are mitigating a DDoS attack, configuring Access Control Lists (ACLs) for a new environment, or diagnosing why a specific server cannot reach the internet, you are the technical authority on the ground. It is a role for those who enjoy the hands-on reality of infrastructure security.
