About the Position

We are seeking a Lead Network Engineer to design, implement, and maintain firewall automation, network connectivity, and IPAM/DNS solutions across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. The successful candidate will work closely with Network Architects and cross-functional teams to deliver secure, scalable, and automated network infrastructure while operating within strict change-control processes.

Responsibilities

  • Implement and maintain firewall automation modules across PaloAlto, F5, and Cloudflare, including security rules, address/service objects, NAT, VIP/pool configuration, WAF policy, and certificate binding, following designs defined by the Network Architect

  • Support VMware NSX-T segment and distributed firewall (DFW) rule implementation in coordination with the VMware team
  • Execute commit/lock handling procedures for concurrent firewall pipeline changes, including PaloAlto/Panorama candidate-config workflows
  • Troubleshoot and remediate production network/firewall issues during Implementation and Adoption phases
  • Operate within change-control processes given the high blast-radius of network changes

Requirements

  • Experience implementing Azure networking constructs, including VNets, Application Gateway, WAF, Azure Firewall, and NSGs via Terraform/OpenTofu

  • Familiarity with VMware NSX-T network segmentation and distributed firewall concepts
  • Ability to operate within change-control processes for high-blast-radius network/security modifications
  • Working experience with Ansible for network/firewall configuration tasks, complementing Terraform/OpenTofu-based provisioning, with combined Terraform/Ansible proficiency expected
  • Flexibility to use AI-assisted tools such as GitHub Copilot in a project-wide capacity
  • Proficiency in English at a B2+ level

Nice to Have

  • Experience with certificate distribution (Venafi) tied to network/load-balancer endpoints
  • Exposure to global traffic management/multi-region failover patterns
