Network Security Engineer

Role Overview: High-impact engineering position partnering directly with executive leadership to architect, deploy, and manage secure network infrastructures for internal operations and enterprise clients.

Fortinet Network Security Engineer

Tired of being just a ticket number in a massive, faceless corporate machine?

We are partnering with a rapidly scaling cybersecurity consultancy experiencing massive growth and a booming order book. They need a sharp, hands-on Fortinet Network Security Engineer to step in, take ownership of complex network defences, and work directly alongside the CEO.

This isn't about maintaining static rules, it’s a high-impact, project-driven role where your work dictates the security posture of enterprise client environments.

What You'll Be Doing

• Architect & Deploy: Configure and manage FortiGate firewalls, HA clusters, and site-to-site/remote-access VPNs across complex, multi-tenant environments.

• Ecosystem Control: Own the broader security fabric, utilizing FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and FortiClient EMS to drive proactive visibility and threat mitigation.

• Incident & Defense: Lead technical investigations, handle security events, and collaborate closely with engineering squads on robust vulnerability remediation.

• Direct Leadership: Sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the executive leadership team, shaping security strategy without corporate red tape.

What We Are Looking For

• Core Technical Roots: Strong, hands-on deployment and configuration background with FortiGate firewalls and core networking principles (TCP/IP, routing, switching, NAT).

• Fabric Familiarity: Experience administering FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, or associated endpoint management tools.

• The Right Mindset: Detail-oriented, analytical, and genuinely passionate about solving complex security puzzles rather than running automated scripts.

• Certifications: Fortinet NSE credentials (NSE 4 to 7) or Cisco equivalents are a massive plus, but your practical deployment capability matters most.
