Dive in and do the best work of your career at DigitalOcean. Journey alongside a strong community of top talent who are relentless in their drive to build the simplest scalable cloud. If you have a growth mindset, naturally like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment of a true industry disruptor, you’ll find your place here. We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world.

We are looking for a Senior Network Security Engineer who is passionate about DDoS mitigation technologies and network resilience. As a Senior Network Security Engineer at DigitalOcean, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI.

You will serve as the DDoS Security Platform & Network Specialist. You will be in charge of the DDoS platform, ensuring our infrastructure remains robust against evolving threats while supporting the protection of our critical services.

What You’ll Do :

  • Define Security Baselines : Establish baseline traffic patterns, define DDoS detection thresholds, and conduct simulated DDoS attack scenarios to validate protection capabilities.
  • Integration & Documentation : Integrate with existing security infrastructure (SIEM, SOC tools), document configuration and findings, and provide recommendations for production deployment.
  • Network Infrastructure Support : Configure and maintain network devices (routers, switches, firewalls) and troubleshoot network connectivity and performance issues.
  • Traffic & Capacity Management : Monitor network traffic patterns and bandwidth utilization, assist with capacity planning, and implement network segmentation and access control policies.
  • Vendor Relations : Cultivate and maintain strong partnerships with existing and new network security vendors to ensure comprehensive security coverage.

Key Metrics

  • Security Posture : Reduction in the number of critical security vulnerabilities identified and remediation time for high-priority threats, particularly DDoS attack vectors.
  • Incident Response : Decrease in the Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) for security incidents, especially those related to volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks.
  • Enablement : Enable cross-functional teams with strong DDoS mitigation strategies and best network security practices to enhance the overall security posture of the network.
  • What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean

  • DDoS Mitigation Expertise : 3+ years of hands-on experience with DDoS protection platforms (Corero, Arbor, Radware, or similar), including a deep understanding of attack vectors and NetFlow Flow analysis.
  • Network Proficiency : Strong expertise in TCP / IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, and network architecture, combined with proficiency in enterprise networking equipment (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, or similar).
  • Traffic Analysis : Experience with packet capture and analysis tools such as Wireshark and tcpdump.
  • Preferred Experience : Previous Corero SmartWall deployment or administration, experience with cloud-based DDoS protection services, and familiarity with SDN (Software-Defined Networking) concepts.
  • Advanced Routing Knowledge : Knowledge of BGP Flowspec and RTBH (Remotely Triggered Black Hole) routing.
  • Certifications : CCNP Security or equivalent; CISSP, GIAC, or other relevant security certifications are preferred.
  • Compensation Range

  • $137,000 - $171,000
  • This is a remote role
  • Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean

  • We innovate with purpose. You’ll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. As a member of the team, you will be a Shark who thinks big, bold, and scrappy, like an owner with a bias for action and a powerful sense of responsibility for customers, products, employees, and decisions.
  • We prioritize career development. At DO, you’ll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big. Our organizational development team will provide you with resources to ensure you keep growing.
