NAC Professional with ClearPass Experience

We're looking for an experienced network security engineer with hands-on Aruba ClearPass (Policy Manager) experience to help us run a small proof-of-concept (POC) setup and test. This is a quick, one-time engagement to start, a small, well-defined task that shouldn't take long for someone with the right experience. You can complete it in a single sitting or spread it across a couple of days, whichever works best for you. Please note: If the POC goes well and you meet our expectations, there's an opportunity to transition into a long-term/full-time engagement at a fixed hourly rate. So while the initial ask is small, we're open to building a longer working relationship with the right person. Scope of work: - Set up a basic ClearPass test environment (policy manager, authentication workflow, device profiling) - Configure and test a core enforcement policy (e.g., 802.1X or MAC authentication bypass) - Validate that authentication/authorization flows work as expected in the test setup - Provide brief documentation of what was configured and the test results Requirements: - Proven hands-on experience with Aruba ClearPass (Policy Manager) - Solid understanding of NAC, 802.1X, RADIUS, and related authentication concepts - Able to work independently and deliver quickly - Clear communication — a quick summary of what was done and any findings - Candidates based in India preferred Project type: Fixed-price/Flexible Budget: $50 flat rate (or $5–7/hr if hourly is preferred) Timeline: Flexible, but expected to be a short task for an experienced candidate
