Network Administrator (Cybersecurity-Focused) in Southfield, Michigan at EPIC Health System LLC

Location: Southfield, MI
Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site

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.

• Design, deploy, monitor, and maintain LAN, WAN, VPN, wireless, and cloud-connected networks
• Ensure performance, scalability, uptime, and security
• Troubleshoot complex issues and lead root-cause analysis

• Act as a frontline defender against cyber threats
• Implement security controls (IDS/IPS, segmentation, zero-trust)
• Investigate threats using logs from firewalls, endpoints, and SIEM tools
• Identify and remediate issues like brute force attacks, VPN abuse, and DNS anomalies

• Own firewall architecture and policy design
• Configure and manage WatchGuard firewalls
• Troubleshoot site-to-site VPN issues (e.g., Phase 1 up / Phase 2 down)

• Deploy and manage Rapid7 Insight Agent (via GPO, scripts, or RMM)
• Maintain log ingestion from AD, servers, firewalls, and endpoints
• Investigate alerts and tune detections in InsightIDR

• 3–5+ years of hands-on network and security experience
• Strong experience with firewalls, VPNs, and real-time troubleshooting

• Solid knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing, and VPNs
• Experience with SIEM tools (Rapid7 preferred)
• Familiarity with Active Directory and endpoint security

• WatchGuard experience strongly preferred (certification a plus)
• Preferred: Security+, Network+, CCNA, or similar

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Ability to work independently in high-pressure environments
• Detail-oriented with a strong security-first mindset
• Clear communication and cross-team collaboration

• High-impact role protecting critical systems
• Hands-on environment with real-world challenges
• Growth in both networking and cybersecurity
• Collaborative, mission-driven team
