• Implement next-gen firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), such as Palo Alto Networks or Fortinet.
• Design end-to-end encrypted network connections with advanced key management techniques and certificate-based authentication to secure data in transit across public and private interfaces.
• Threat Detection and Incident Response:
• Implement real-time threat detection and response systems using machine learning and advanced analytics.
• Establish incident response frameworks to handle high-priority security events.
• Multi-Environment Security Integration:
• Architect and secure highly available, multi-region, and multi-environment networks, utilizing Azure Global VNet Peering, AWS Global Accelerator, and cross-region replication to ensure data security and high-performance across geographies.
• Ensure security compliance and policy enforcement across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments through centralized security management tools such as Azure Policy, AWS Config, and Terraform Sentinel.

• Cloud Network Security: (Optional)
• Architect secure and scalable multi-cloud networks leveraging Azure Virtual WAN, AWS Transit Gateway, VPC Peering, and Azure Network Security Groups (NSGs) to create robust, segmented, and isolated environments.
• Implement Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) across cloud and hybrid networks, integrating advanced security controls such as Azure Private Link, AWS PrivateLink, and Application Gateway WAF.
• Design and enforce cloud-native security strategies in Azure and AWS using services like AWS Shield, Azure DDoS Protection, and Azure Firewall.
• Build secure network topologies with integrated VPN, Direct Connect, and ExpressRoute to ensure encrypted connectivity across on-premises and cloud resources.

What to Have for this position:

• 5+ years of experience in advanced network security engineering, with specific focus on securing cloud environments (Azure, AWS) and complex hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructures.
• Expert-level proficiency in Terraform with hands-on experience deploying secure infrastructure in production environments.
• Deep understanding of cloud-native security tools and best practices, including AWS VPC, Security Groups, Azure Virtual Networks, Azure Firewalls, Route Tables, and IAM policies. ADVANTAGE
• Strong knowledge of network protocols (IPSec, BGP, GRE, HTTP/S, TLS/SSL, DNS) and secure communications across distributed environments.
• Experience with firewalls such as Palo Alto or Fortigate or any other proven firewall vendor.
• Experience with Network equipment’s such as Cisco, Meraki, or any other proven networking vendor.
• Experience with Zero Trust Architecture, micro-segmentation, and secure access service implementations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven experience with container network security.
• Expertise in network forensics, penetration testing, and vulnerability management in cloud-based environments.
• Expertise in Firewalls, Security Policies and VPN.

Soft Skills:

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify complex security issues and implement advanced technical solutions.
• Strong communication skills to articulate network security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work in high-pressure environments and manage multiple projects with competing deadlines.
