## Description

This is a hands-on architecture role, combining customer solution design, technical leadership and implementation across a diverse range of customer environments. You'll play a key role in shaping secure, scalable and resilient network solutions, working closely with customers from initial design through to delivery.

As a senior member of the team, you'll act as a technical authority for networking technologies, supporting complex projects, contributing to presales activities and providing guidance to engineers across the business.

The role offers exposure to a broad range of networking and security technologies, with a particular focus on modern network architectures, SD-WAN and the Fortinet ecosystem. Experience with FortiGate is highly desirable, whilst exposure to technologies such as ZTNA, CASB and threat protection would be advantageous, though not essential.

 * Work with technologies including Fortinet and other leading networking vendors.
 * Contribute to network security, resilience and performance improvements across customer and hosted environments.
 * Mentor engineers within the networking team and promote technical best practice.
 * Research emerging technologies and help shape the future direction of the networking practice.
