About the Role
Firewall Engineer
The Opportunity
Tired of firefighting on a firewall estate held together with legacy rules nobody dares touch? This role gives you the opposite: a modern, well-governed global firewall landscape, and the mandate to keep improving it.
You'll join the network security team of an internationally operating technology group whose infrastructure underpins security-critical systems for major institutions worldwide. It's a stable, long-established business with a strong market position, now investing further in its global network security capability.
The Role
You'll take ownership of enterprise firewall environments spanning cloud, data centre and branch locations across multiple countries. Day to day, that means:
- Administering and operating the global firewall landscape
- Planning and executing rollouts, migrations and lifecycle activities
- Configuring firewall rules, NAT policies and routing changes
- Running regular rule set reviews and policy clean-ups
- Documenting changes and maintaining security documentation
- Troubleshooting network and security incidents alongside international stakeholders
You'll be trusted to work independently on real infrastructure, not just tickets. Your rule reviews and clean-ups directly shape how secure and how fast the network runs.
The Company
Our client is a well-established, internationally operating organisation with a global footprint and a reputation for stability. The environment is structured but not bureaucratic: you'll work to clear SLAs, with the autonomy to plan and deliver your own projects across a genuinely international footprint.
What You'll Need
- Proven experience administering enterprise firewall environments, ideally with Palo Alto Networks
- Strong networking knowledge, including routing protocols, IPv4 and IPv6
- Solid understanding of IT security principles and network security architecture
- Fluent English and good German, spoken and written
