Cyber Security Platform Engineer

Your Job

As the Security Platform Engineer, you will engineer, operate, automate, and continuously improve the network security platforms that protect Georgia-Pacific's IT and OT environments, starting with the enterprise firewall platform across more than 150 locations.

You will translate security standards into practical, well-governed policy and own the platform lifecycle, from request intake and change control through upgrades, monitoring, and support.

This role will partner with Cyber Operations, Infrastructure & Site Reliability, Process Control, Koch shared services, and vendors to deliver secure connectivity and approved projects from design through go-live.

You will also apply automation and data to reduce manual effort, rule sprawl, and operational risk while sustaining the reliability our manufacturing operations depend on.

This role will be based in our Atlanta GP HQ or our Wichita Koch HQ with an expectation of three (3) days in the office per week.

The team works collaboratively with Cyber Operations, Infrastructure & Site Reliability, Process Control and operations teams, Koch and shared-service partners, and third-party providers to protect critical systems, simplify how secure connectivity is requested and delivered, and drive sustainable operational outcomes.
