Position Overview:

We are seeking a Mid-to-Senior / Principal Level Network Security / Cybersecurity Solutions Engineer to join a growing post-sales engineering team. This is a hands-on, client-facing role focused on implementing, optimizing, and supporting enterprise security solutions across multi-vendor environments.

You will work closely with project managers, account executives, and client stakeholders to deploy and enhance security architectures, with a strong emphasis on Palo Alto and Fortinet technologies.

This is a true post-sales delivery role - focused on execution, deployment, troubleshooting, and customer success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implement and deploy enterprise security solutions across network and cloud environments
• Configure and support Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet platforms (NGFW, centralized management, SASE/ZTNA where applicable)
• Lead firewall migrations, upgrades, and greenfield security deployments
• Implement advanced security features including IPS/IDS, URL filtering, SSL decryption, and threat prevention
• Support SD-WAN and secure connectivity solutions (IPSec / SSL VPNs)
• Conduct security assessments, health checks, and optimization initiatives
• Provide technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer to client teams
• Serve as an escalation resource for complex post-deployment issues across security and networking domains
• Collaborate with broader engineering teams on multi-domain projects (networking, cloud, identity, etc.)

Required Qualifications:

• 5–10+ years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity engineering or network security delivery roles
• Strong experience with Palo Alto (PAN-OS, Panorama) and/or Fortinet (FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer)
• Deep understanding of firewall policy, NAT, VPNs, and threat prevention technologies
• Solid foundation in Layer 2/3 networking (routing, switching, BGP, OSPF, etc.) as it relates to security deployments
• Experience working in client-facing environments delivering projects end-to-end
• Strong troubleshooting skills across both network and security layers
• Ability to document, communicate, and execute in fast-paced delivery environments
• Relvant certs are a plus: PCNSE, Fortinet NSE 4/7+, CCIE Security

Preferred Experience:

• Experience working within a VAR, MSP, or consulting environment
• Exposure to SASE / Zero Trust architectures (e.g., Prisma Access, FortiSASE)
• Experience with endpoint security, XDR, or cloud security platforms (Prisma Cloud, FortiEDR, etc.)
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (NIST, ISO, etc.)
• Experience with Cisco security or networking technologies
• Scripting or automation experience (Python, PowerShell) is a plus

What’s Offered:

• Strong compensation: $150K – $200K (depending on experience)
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Certification and training reimbursement
• Opportunity to work on complex, enterprise-level security environments
• A collaborative engineering culture with strong growth trajectory

If you’re a hands-on Network Security / Cybersecurity Engineer who enjoys owning delivery from deployment through optimization- and wants to work across real enterprise environments, not just tickets - this is a strong opportunity to step into a high-impact role.
