Job Description

Our client is looking for experienced Network Firewall Engineers to support a high‑impact Network Security Operations and Perimeter Security environment. This role is hands‑on, operational, and troubleshooting‑focused, supporting both day‑to‑day production issues and project‑based security initiatives.
The engineer will work closely with a high‑performing network security team responsible for edge firewalls, inbound internet gateways, VPN connectivity, and secure access between the client and external customers, partners, and internet‑facing systems.
This is not a monitoring‑only role — candidates must be comfortable debugging issues end‑to‑end using the command line and owning problems through resolution.
