6 days ago
Are you a technical expert with a passion for protecting networks from cyber threats? Do you have the skills to design, implement, and maintain secure network infrastructures that can withstand even the most sophisticated attacks? If you're someone who thrives on safeguarding systems and ensuring the integrity of data flow, then our client has the perfect role for you. We're searching for a Network Security Engineer (aka The Firewall Guardian) to fortify our network defenses and keep our systems secure.
Imagine being the person responsible for securing a company's most critical communication channels and ensuring that data moves safely through the digital landscape. As the Network Security Engineer at our client, you'll play a crucial role in designing secure networks, implementing firewalls, and responding to security incidents. This role is more than just managing firewalls-it's about creating and maintaining the first line of defense against cyber threats.
Key Responsibilities:
- Network Security Design and Implementation:
- Design, configure, and implement secure network infrastructures, including firewalls, VPNs, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and network access controls. You'll ensure that all network components are secure and compliant with industry standards.
- Manage and maintain firewalls, ensuring they are properly configured and regularly updated. You'll monitor firewall traffic, conduct regular audits, and implement rule sets that block unauthorized access while allowing legitimate traffic.
- Continuously monitor network traffic for suspicious activity, using tools such as IDS/IPS and SIEM systems. You'll detect and respond to threats in real time, ensuring that network vulnerabilities are quickly identified and mitigated.
- Act as the first responder to network security incidents, including identifying, containing, and eradicating threats. You'll conduct root cause analysis to prevent future occurrences and assist in post-incident recovery efforts.
- Perform regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify weaknesses in the network infrastructure. You'll collaborate with IT and security teams to remediate vulnerabilities and improve overall network security.
- Ensure that network configurations comply with internal security policies and external regulations such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA. You'll enforce security policies, procedures, and best practices across the organization.
- Maintain detailed documentation of network configurations, security protocols, and incident response activities. You'll provide regular reports on the status of network security, including vulnerability findings and remediation efforts.
Required Skills:
- Network Security Expertise: Deep understanding of network protocols, firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, and other network security technologies. You're proficient in configuring and managing firewalls, routers, switches, and other security appliances.
- Incident Response Skills: Experience in identifying, responding to, and mitigating network security incidents. You're skilled in analyzing network logs, traffic patterns, and anomalies to detect and neutralize threats.
- Firewall Configuration Mastery: Proven experience in configuring and maintaining firewalls (such as Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Fortinet, or Check Point). You know how to optimize firewall rule sets for maximum protection and efficiency.
- Vulnerability Management: Experience conducting vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of network infrastructures. You're familiar with tools such as Nmap, Nessus, and Metasploit.
- Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex network security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders. You ensure everyone is aware of potential risks and the measures being taken to mitigate them.
- Adaptability: Ability to respond quickly to changing threats and adjust network configurations accordingly. You're comfortable working in fast-paced environments where the security landscape is constantly evolving.
- Humor: A great sense of humor, because we believe in creating a work environment that is both productive and enjoyable. If you can troubleshoot firewall issues while keeping the team smiling, you're our kind of engineer.
- Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Network Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in network security is also valued.
- Certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), or equivalent are highly desirable.
- 5+ years of experience in network security, with a focus on firewall management, VPN configuration, and network monitoring. You've successfully implemented and maintained secure network infrastructures.
- Proven experience in working with network security tools and platforms such as firewalls (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Fortinet), IDS/IPS (Snort, Suricata), and SIEM systems (Splunk, AlienVault).
- Experience in industries that require strict compliance (such as finance, healthcare, or government) is a plus.
Benefits:
- Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
- Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
- Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
- Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
- Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
- Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
- Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
- Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.
- Recognition Programs: Employee recognition programs to celebrate achievements and milestones.
