About the position

The Senior Network Security Engineer, Network Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a pivotal role at Marriott International, responsible for designing and implementing the network security strategy and platforms for the company's next-generation operations. This includes overseeing the security of Property Networks, Datacenter/Cloud Networks, and Corporate Networks. The engineer will collaborate closely with a matrix team of expert network architects and engineers to promote the adoption of SRE practices and operating models across all network product towers globally. A key focus of this role is to define and execute a zero-trust strategy, particularly in managing firewall systems that comply with stringent security requirements. Reporting directly to the Director of SRE, the engineer will articulate and execute a vision that addresses the complexities and scale of modern IT systems, ensuring real-time asset visibility, assessment, remediation, and access control to Marriott services.
