Job Description

• Lead firewall, network access control, and SASE engagements across diverse enterprise environments. • Span three core technology pillars: next-generation firewall design and deployment, Cisco ISE-based network access control and identity services, and SASE/Zero Trust architectures. • Combine deep hands-on expertise across these platforms with strong consulting skills, owning end-to-end delivery from discovery and design through implementation, testing, and knowledge transfer. • This is a client-facing role that requires the ability to lead technical workstreams, produce professional documentation, and communicate complex security strategies to both technical and executive audiences.

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of network security, infrastructure security, or security engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a consulting, professional services, or client-facing delivery role.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience designing and deploying Cisco Secure Firewall (FTD/FMC) and Palo Alto Networks NGFW (PAN-OS/Panorama) in enterprise production environments.
  • Production experience deploying Cisco ISE for 802.1X authentication, TACACS+ device administration, and network access policy enforcement across wired, wireless, and VPN environments.
  • Production experience with at least one SASE platform (Zscaler ZIA/ZPA, Palo Alto Prisma Access, Cisco Secure Access, or Netskope) including SWG, CASB, and ZTNA configuration.
  • Strong understanding of routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), VPN technologies (IPsec, SSL/TLS), network segmentation, and Zero Trust architecture principles.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS VPC, Azure VNet, GCP VPC) including security groups, network firewalls, and hybrid connectivity architectures.
  • Experience with identity and access management platforms (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, SAML 2.0, SCIM) and their integration with firewall, NAC, and SASE solutions.
  • Experience integrating security platforms with SIEM (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), syslog infrastructure, and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible) for centralized visibility and repeatable deployments.
