JOB DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------
Position:       Security Architect
Location:       Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Type:           Permanent F/T

Closing Date:   2008-05-19

My client is one of the nation’s largest and most consistently profitable \
systems integrators and resellers and they represent the top technology vendors in \
the industry. As a result of continued growth they have asked me to find a Security \
Presales Architect.

The Solution Architect in their Security Practice will be dealing with any and \
everything security related with their clients. You’ll be a subject matter \
expert, an evangelist, and you’ll be involved in presales, architecture, \
determination of client needs and more. Experience with Cisco, RSA, Nokia, Checkpoint \
are key because they are the OEM’s my client represents. This role is not so \
heavy on compliance and regulatory issues as there is a practice focused entirely on \
that. 

The compensation for the role includes a base of $110K to $120K+ (but if you’re \
got the skills and are over their threshold let’s chat anyway). There is a bonus \
potential of at least $25K but most of the people in these roles generally pull about \
$40K in FY bonus - based on utilization (you keep your own calendar) based on \
billable time; ~70% utilization factor. Excellent benefits are included as well.



JOB REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------------------------
Basic guidelines:
·         Capable of working in diverse situations but experience working for \
a VAR or OEM is essential ·         5+ years experience in information \
security arena with considerable customer-facing success ·         Hands-on \
experience with assessment, design and implementation of enterprise security \
solutions ·         Significant experience reviewing and implementing security \
policies and procedures ·         Solid understanding of compliance issues \
– although compliance is the secondary focus ·         Excellent \
communication and interpersonal skills are essential ·         Experience \
conducting security assessments using commercial and open source host scanning tools, \
network scanning tools, and web and database vulnerability assessment tools ·  \
Working knowledge of cryptography applications, methods, systems and protocols \
·         Strong interest in intrusion prevention, content filtering \
technologies, wireless networking and security, authentication and identity \
management, and application security ·         Significant LAN/WAN internet \
working technology experience (routers, switches, etc.) and deep knowledge of IP \
addressing, IP subnets and routing ·         In depth knowledge of TCP, UDP \
Protocols and the OSI seven layer model is required ·         System \
administration experience on Unix platforms (Linux, HP/UX, AIX, or Solaris) and \
Microsoft Windows operating systems is desirable ·         Although CISSP \
certification is desired, any of the following qualifications would be beneficial - \
Checkpoint Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) or Expert (CCSE), Cisco Certified \
Security Professional (CCSP), or other major vendor sponsored security certifications \
