Remote Network Engineer

Support and engineer existing F5 BIG-IP and Fortinet FortiGate environments. Manage F5 LTM/APM including virtual servers, pools, monitors, SSL/TLS, authentication and iRules. Manage FortiGate firewalls, including VPNs, routing, NAT, VDOMs, HA and production configuration changes. Support a potentially large deployment of FortiGates, including standardized configurations and ongoing adjustments. Handle AWS networking across accounts/environments, including VPCs, subnets, Transit Gateway, peering, NAT, PrivateLink, Direct Connect/VPN, Security Groups, NACLs, WAF and Route 53. Help modernize the network environment through Terraform/IaC, with additional automation through Ansible, Python, APIs and GitLab CI/CD. Combination of supporting what is already in production + modernization/automation. F5 appears to be decreasing somewhat in scope, while Fortinet and AWS are significant areas.
