Network Administrator (Cybersecurity-Focused)

Network Administrator (Cybersecurity-Focused) Location: Southfield, MIEmployment 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.

SIEM / Rapid7 Operations

• Deploy and manage Rapid7 Insight Agent (via GPO, scripts, or RMM)
