Role & responsibilities :

Network Security Engineer - Routing & Switching, Load Balancing, Proxy :

The Role :

We're looking for a Network Security Engineer with strong Routing & Switching skills alongside Load Balancing and Proxy experience (e.g. Blue Coat, Zscaler). This is a hands-on engineering role covering project implementation, deployment, and troubleshooting.

What You'll Do :

- Design, configure, and troubleshoot routing protocols (BGP, OSPF) across enterprise networks.

- Configure and manage switching infrastructure to support secure, reliable connectivity.

- Implement and maintain firewall policies and rules to protect network traffic (firewall skills required, not looking for Data Centre-specific technologies).

- Deploy and manage load balancers (F5 or equivalent), configuring VIPs, health monitors, and traffic distribution.

- Configure and optimise proxy/secure web gateway solutions (Blue Coat, Zscaler, or similar), including policy-based access control, SSL inspection, and URL filtering.

- Produce clear design documentation (HLDs/LLDs) for network and security changes.

- Support project delivery from design through to implementation and go-live.

- Troubleshoot routing, switching, firewall, load balancing, and proxy issues as they arise.

What You'll Need :

- Strong hands-on experience with routing and switching (BGP, OSPF) - CCNP or CCIE level.

- Firewall configuration and troubleshooting experience.

- Experience with load balancing technologies (F5 or equivalent).

- Proxy/SWG experience across a mix of platforms (Blue Coat, Zscaler, or similar).

- Proven project engineering and implementation experience, not just BAU support.

- Strong troubleshooting skills across routing, switching, and security technologies.

- Clear communicator, comfortable producing technical documentation and working across teams.

Certifications :

- CCNP or CCIE (Routing & Switching) required.

- Firewall vendor certifications desirable (e.g. Fortinet NSE, Palo Alto PCNSE, Check Point CCSA/CCSE).
