  • Administer and support Imperva WAF, including application onboarding, security policies, troubleshooting blocked requests and false positives, and policy tuning.
  • Troubleshoot application traffic across DNS, WAF, firewalls, load balancers, web/application servers, and backend services.

  • Collaborate with Security, Network, Application, and Database teams to resolve complex infrastructure and application-delivery issues.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation as required.

Required Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of Systems Administration or Infrastructure Engineering experience. F5 and Imperva responsibilities make application delivery, web security, certificates, DNS/network troubleshooting, and escalation skills important parts of the role.
  • Hands-on experience administering and troubleshooting F5 BIG-IP/LTM.
  • Experience with Imperva WAF or comparable enterprise Web Application Firewall technologies.
  • Strong Microsoft Windows Server administration experience.
  • Experience administering VMware vSphere environments.
  • Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, SSL/TLS, certificates, and load balancing, network protocols and connectivity
  • Experience troubleshooting multi-tier enterprise applications. Disaster Recovery and Business continuity.
  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, communication, and ownership skills.
  • Experience HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar regulatory and security requirements is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with F5 iRules and Imperva Cloud WAF.
  • Experience with Microsoft IIS and PowerShell.
  • Experience with VMware HA, DRS, vMotion, and infrastructure lifecycle management.
  • Experience with monitoring, vulnerability management, backup, and disaster-recovery technologies.
  • Experience supporting highly available or regulated environments.
  • F5, VMware, Microsoft, or security-related certifications are a plus.

Core Competencies

Technical Troubleshooting: Able to systematically isolate problems across network, security, application-delivery, virtualization, operating-system, and application layers.

Application Delivery: Understands how enterprise applications traverse DNS, WAF, firewalls, load balancers, web servers, and backend services.

Security Awareness: Understands the security implications of infrastructure changes and balances application availability with appropriate security controls.

Ownership: Takes responsibility for technical issues through resolution rather than simply transferring problems between teams.

Change Discipline: Plans, documents, tests, and validates production changes and maintains appropriate rollback procedures.

Communication: Clearly communicates technical issues, risks, outages, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Continuous Improvement: Identifies opportunities to automate repetitive activities, eliminate recurring incidents, improve documentation, and increase infrastructure reliability.

You should be able to follow an application request end-to-end:

Client → Firewall → Imperva WAF → F5 → Web/Application Server → Backend Services

If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems, working across technologies, and supporting critical enterprise environments, we’d like to hear from you.
