Network and Security Expert at the Information Systems Department

The Information Systems Department (ISD) wishes to strengthen its infrastructure team and is looking for a network and security expert.

Context

The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of the 5 Swiss university hospitals. Thanks to its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and EPFL, it plays a leading role in medical care, medical research, and education.

The Information Systems Department (ISD) is organized according to standard information technology processes. It includes the following groups: Projects, Applications, Infrastructure, and Services. This position is attached to the "Network, Telecom and Datacenter" team of the Infrastructure group.

CHUV has a large, highly redundant computer network to provide a highly available foundation for the information system necessary for the hospital's many professions.

To ensure machine isolation and offer a high level of security, the network has a NAC solution and is segmented into several zones by firewalls. Applications are exposed through a WAF, and CHUV employees benefit from VPN access to connect to the institution during travel or teleworking.

Mission

• You join a multidisciplinary infrastructure team to manage the various daily operations on Fortinet, Palo Alto firewalls, and UBIKA WAF (adding/removing rules/services, managing security events, statistics, monitoring, troubleshooting, etc.)
• You are also responsible for maintaining, operating, and evolving the VPN environment based on Ivanti and Palo Alto platforms, as well as the NAC environment based on Cisco
• You undertake strategy and evolution activities for security equipment in collaboration with operational security
• You are the recognized interface for external experts and provide advice, assistance, information, training, and alerts.

Profile

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree in computer science or telecommunications, or an equivalent qualification
• You demonstrate solid expertise in managing firewalls (WAF, NGFW) and/or VPN solutions, with at least 6 years of experience as a network and security specialist in a medium or large environment
• You have experience with NAC solutions and are motivated to develop your expertise across all topics
• You are comfortable expressing yourself orally and in writing in French and have good knowledge of technical English (spoken and written)
• You show great open-mindedness to adapt to the various constraints of a university hospital such as CHUV
• Fortinet FCP, Palo Alto NSP, or Cisco CCNP Security certifications are desired.

The salary class will be between levels 11 and 12 depending on the candidate’s profile.
