Firewall Policy & Boundary Protection Engineer (Mons)

WLG; Henegouwen; Sur place; EUR 52 000 - 76 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

WLG in Mons, Belgium, invites a dedicated third-line firewall engineer to own the boundary protection layer across the mission estate, focusing on next-generation firewalls, rule sets, and audits. You will build, configure and maintain NGFWs, design and review security policies, and implement secure inter-site VPNs.

The role requires hands-on scripting, English fluency, and a pragmatic approach to root-cause analysis, with occasional travel to other European locations.

Qualifications

• At least three years in firewall administration and network security.
• Palo Alto certification (PCNSE or equivalent) is required.
• Security+ or an equivalent security qualification.
• Sound networking fundamentals — protocols, routing, architecture — and VPN technologies.
• Scripting and automation, and the habit of using them.
• Professional English, spoken and written, to a standard that carries a technical briefing.

Responsabilités

• Build, configure and maintain next-generation firewalls across the mission estate, including high-availability pairs and central management.
• Design, implement and review security policies and rulesets, and adapt them as the operational picture changes.
• Configure and troubleshoot VPN and secure interconnection between sites.
• Take third-line incidents through to root cause, working with the network and platform teams rather than throwing tickets over a wall.
• Automate the repetitive parts — signature updates, configuration backups, health checks.
• Keep procedures and security documentation current, and report monthly on service performance.
