Job summary

ACEN is seeking a Network Security Consultant to lead design, configuration and delivery of sophisticated multi-vendor network and security solutions. You will act as technical lead on projects, mentor team members and drive end-to-end delivery across diverse customer engagements.

The role requires strong fundamentals in routing, firewalling, VPN/IPsec and SD-WAN, plus expertise in SASE/SSE, Zero Trust or NGFW. A proactive communicator with automation skills will thrive in our hybrid environment.

Qualifications

• Experience in network and security consulting or engineering, with a track record of leading delivery on complex customer projects.
• Expert-level skills in at least two core domains: SASE/SSE (Cato Networks), Zero Trust Segmentation (Illumio), or Next-Generation Firewalling (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point).
• Solid fundamentals in routing, firewalling, VPN/IPsec, SD-WAN, BGP, and identity-based access concepts (ZTNA, SSO).
• Comfortable with scripting and automation (Python, Terraform) and able to build reusable libraries.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, configuration and implementation of complex network and security solutions.
• Act as technical lead on projects: own the end-to-end delivery.
• Optimize the security posture of our customers: review and tighten policies, segmentation models, reference architectures and operational practices.
• Perform expert-level troubleshooting across network and security layers (routing, firewalling, VPN/IPsec, SD-WAN, identity, application traffic).
• Translate business requirements into reference architectures: propose options with clear pros and cons, then guide the customer team through implementation.
• Contribute to pre-sales: shape technical proposals, build and run demos, and represent us in scoping conversations with prospects.
• Automate where it pays off: write scripts and reusable libraries for deployments, configuration management and validation.
• Build reusable assets (documentation, scripts, templates, runbooks) and share best practices to lift the whole team.
• Coach junior colleagues and support their path to excellence.
