Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Network Security Routing TCP/IP Software Vulnerability Management Scripting Computer Network Technologies Firewalls (Computer Science) Fortinet Cisco

Job description

This isn’t about maintaining static rules, it’s a high-impact, project-driven role where your work dictates the security posture of enterprise client environments. What You’ll Be Doing

  • Architect & Deploy: Configure and manage FortiGate firewalls, HA clusters, and site-to-site/remote-access VPNs across complex, multi-tenant environments.
  • Ecosystem Control: Own the broader security fabric, utilizing FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and FortiClient EMS to drive proactive visibility and threat mitigation.
  • Incident & Defense: Lead technical investigations, handle security events, and collaborate closely with engineering squads on robust vulnerability remediation.
  • Direct Leadership: Sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the executive leadership team, shaping security strategy without corporate red tape.

Requirements

  • Core Technical Roots: Strong, hands-on deployment and configuration background with FortiGate firewalls and core networking principles (TCP/IP, routing, switching, NAT).
  • Fabric Familiarity: Experience administering FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, or associated endpoint management tools.
  • The Right Mindset: Detail-oriented, analytical, and genuinely passionate about solving complex security puzzles rather than running automated scripts.
  • Certifications: Fortinet NSE credentials (NSE 4 to 7) or Cisco equivalents are a massive plus, but your practical deployment capability matters most.
