Network Security Administrator III (Firewall)

Join our team and help shape how the world stays connected. We foster a collaborative, inclusive culture where employees are empowered to innovate, grow professionally, and make a meaningful impact.

Iridium is looking for an experienced Network Security Administrator to help manage and support our network security environment. This is a hands-on role focused primarily on firewall administration, secure connectivity, network segmentation, VPNs, and the day-to-day operation of our security infrastructure. This position is responsible for understanding how traffic moves through a network to effectively work with enterprise firewalls to troubleshoot beyond the firewall itself, including routing, NAT, security policies, VPNs, and authentication to figure out why something isn’t working. This role requires someone to take ownership of their work, approach changes carefully, and follow problems through to resolution. The Network Security Administrator III will work independently on many tasks, but will also be part of a team and collaborate often with network, systems, security, and other technical groups to get things done.
