What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on architecture role focused on designing and implementing network security across on-premises and cloud environments, with particular emphasis on firewall configuration, network segmentation, and Zero Trust access in Microsoft Azure. The position bridges architecture and engineering by requiring direct involvement through build and cutover phases, not just design handoff. It suits an experienced security architect with deep, practical firewall and network security skills.

Why we read it this way (10)
The title 'Network Security Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the 7+ years of experience requirement and the scope of the role (designing and owning end-to-end network security architecture) support a Senior classification.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role is primarily security architecture/design (15-1212), but the heavy hands-on network engineering and configuration work could also point toward 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), as 'Security Architect' is not a perfect fit for the analyst-oriented 15-1212 definition.
Ryder is headquartered in Miami, FL; no specific work location is stated in the posting beyond the company context, so the Miami-Fort Lauderdale CBSA is used as the best available inference.
Palo Alto Networks certifications (PCNSA, PCNSE, PCCSE, PCSAE) are listed under 'Other' qualifications but with the phrase 'required' — this is treated as a hard gate. The skill is captured as the platform name rather than individual cert codes.
ServiceNow is mentioned in the essential functions (working RSA tickets) rather than a qualifications section; it is included as a required skill given the explicit operational dependency described.
CISSP/GIAC certifications appear under 'Other' qualifications without the word 'required', so they are marked preferred.
Terraform and its alternatives (CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, GCP Cloud Deployment Manager) appear under 'Other' qualifications without 'required', so they are marked preferred.
AWS and GCP appear under 'Other' qualifications as alternatives to Azure for CSP experience; Azure is hard-required in the essential functions, while AWS/GCP are preferred alternatives for additional CSP depth.
The 7-year experience requirement is stated twice — once for the Information Security Architect role and once for regulatory compliance/frameworks — both at the role level; the overall years minimum is set to 7.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): firewall architecture.
