Role:
As a Firewall Engineer, you hold the reins between network, servers, and cloud. Firewalls based on FortiGate are part of your domain, as are Microsoft 365 (M365) and a virtualised server environment. Your ambition goes beyond mere operation. You harden systems, segment networks cleanly, and actively drive topics such as Network Access Control (NAC) and network automation forward.
Responsibilities:
You ensure the stable operation of the network environment consisting of firewalls, switches, and WLAN components and develop it further with targeted security hardening.
For a clear separation of network areas, you design VLAN structures and micro-segmentation and implement zero-trust architectures.
You administer and expand Active Directory, M365, and the server landscape on Hyper-V.
Furthermore, you keep an eye on the security situation and continuously refine firewall rule sets, VPN connections, policies, and IDS/IPS.
Complex cases from infrastructure and security land with you in 3rd-level support.
In addition, you actively shape future topics such as NAC, SD-WAN, and automated network processes.
Qualifications:
You have completed training in computer science or have acquired the necessary knowledge through several years of practical experience.
Networks and security are your strengths. You implement VLANs, routing, and switching across manufacturers, for example with Cisco.
You feel at home in firewall management with Fortinet. An NSE certification is a plus.
In addition, you have solid experience with Active Directory, DNS/DHCP, the Microsoft cloud, and Hyper-V.
You consistently think about security according to principles such as Zero Trust, Least Privilege, and Defence in Depth.
You also tackle problems in a structured way, find pragmatic solutions, and enjoy trying out new technologies.
Benefits:
- Home office
- Attractive pension and insurance benefits
- Flat hierarchies
- Coaching and mentoring
- Flexible working hours
- Open corporate culture
- Comfortable office with modern infrastructure
- Experienced and dynamic team
- Attractive benefits in case of illness or accident
