• Support VPN, secure access, and edge security solutions
• Partner with internal teams to ensure reliable and secure infrastructure operations
• Contribute to implementation and improvement of network security best practices

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in network security or network engineering
• Strong experience with AWS networking and security (VPCs, routing, security groups, connectivity)
• Hands-on experience with firewalls (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Firepower, or similar)
• Solid understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, NAT, and network troubleshooting
• Experience working in hybrid environments (cloud + on-prem)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, Azure Firewall, Application Gateway)
• Familiarity with load balancing technologies (F5, A10, or cloud-native solutions)
• Experience with secure access tools (VPN, SASE, or web filtering solutions)
• Exposure to DevOps practices or automation tools
