Proxy/CPL Specialist

job summary:

We are seeking a highly specialized Proxy/CPL Specialist for a 6-month, part-time contract (10 hours/week) to overhaul and streamline a complex Symantec/Bluecoat SGOS security policy. The primary objective is to transform an oversized, intricate Content Policy Language (CPL) file into a modular, stanza-based architecture that is accessible to Level 1 support engineers. Working independently yet collaboratively, you will leverage deep SGOS expertise to restructure the policy iteratively, ensuring that deployments are managed safely through Git and Ansible without the risks associated with a "big bang" implementation.

location: Telecommute

job type: Contract

salary: $100 - 265 per hour

responsibilities:

Proxy/CPL Specialist themselves, they would be tasked with:

? Simplifying an existing, very large CPL (content policy language) security policy

(language used by Bluecoats/SGOS for configuration & policies)

? This includes:

? The ability to utilize deep knowledge of SGOS and CPL to implement the changes above

? The ability to understand layering within CPL

? The ability to restructure CPL on an iterative basis, eventually shrinking down this very

large CPL file into manageable stanzas, such that Level 1 support engineers (non-

SGOS experts) would be able to implement future changes easily

? At it stands now, the existing CPL is too complex for a non-expert on the team to interact

with

? Partnering with the existing team to deploy CPL changes on a piecemeal, iterative basis

(IE - it would not be a one big bang change approach)

? The ability to use git for source code control

? The ability to use and extend existing Ansible for CPL policy implementation/deployment

? We pay for a 6 month contract of like 10 hours per week, working independently and

checking in with my team to perform a one time simplification of our extensive CPL

policy. The actual changes would be deployed iteratively over the course of the 6 month

engagement
