Firewall, Security, and Compliance

Design and maintain secure perimeter and internal network environments using Cisco ASA, Palo Alto, Check Point, and ForeScout firewalls.

Enforce Zero Trust Architecture, micro-segmentation, and secure remote access via VPN solutions.

Lead patch management, firmware updates, and hardening of network and security appliances.

Conduct regular vulnerability scans, remediation activities, and ensure compliance with security frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, and PCI-DSS.

Collaborate with security teams on threat detection, incident response, and proactive risk mitigation.

Performance Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Proactively monitor and tune network performance to meet SLAs and minimize latency and downtime.

Resolve complex networking issues across LAN/WAN, cloud, and security appliances.

Engage with vendors and cross-functional teams to maintain optimal performance and high availability.

Automation and Documentation

Leverage tools like Ansible, Python, PowerShell, and Terraform to automate routine tasks and cloud network deployments.

Maintain detailed documentation, including network topology diagrams, firewall configurations, compliance reports, and SOPs.

Mentor junior engineers and support knowledge-sharing initiatives across IT teams.

Qualifications & Experience:

12–15+ years of experience in enterprise network engineering, cloud networking, and security.

Expertise in routing and switching (Cisco, Juniper) and firewalls (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Check Point, ForeScout).

Proven experience in cloud networking with AWS, Azure, or GCP—covering VPCs, NSGs, VPNs, subnets, and load balancing.

Hands-on exposure to patch management, firmware upgrades, and vulnerability scanning/remediation.

Proficient in F5 technologies (LTM, GTM, ASM) and automation using Python, Ansible, Terraform.

Strong grasp of compliance frameworks and security standards (ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, CIS benchmarks).

Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
