What You Do

• Design and maintain enterprise network security architectures: perimeter defense, network segmentation (micro segmentation, VLAN/VXLAN, DMZ design), secure remote access, and traffic inspection strategies aligned with Zero Trust principles.
• Provide architectural guidance on enterprise-grade firewall platforms (Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco, Juniper SRX), IDS/IPS, network-based DLP, and NDR solutions — including policy design, lifecycle management, and secure network design for multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
• Contribute to security governance processes: drafting and maintaining network security policies, standards, and technical baselines; supporting risk acceptance, exception management, and formal sign-off workflows.
• Define and track KPIs/KRIs for network security posture (firewall rule compliance, segmentation coverage, IDS/IPS detection rates) and present governance reporting to security committees and senior leadership.
• Act as network security advisor to IT, Architecture, Risk, and Business teams; participate in architecture review boards ensuring proposed network changes align with enterprise security standards before approval.

• Hands‑on experience with enterprise network security architectures: perimeter defence, microsegmentation, DMZ design, secure remote access, and traffic inspection.
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles: software‑defined perimeter, identity‑aware proxies, continuous network verification.
• Experience with enterprise‑grade firewalls and NGFW platforms (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco ASA/Firepower, Juniper SRX); IDS/IPS, network‑based DLP, and NDR solutions (Darktrace, ExtraHop, Cisco Stealthwatch, Vectra).
• Knowledge of secure network design for multi‑cloud/hybrid environments: cloud‑native security groups, VPC/VNET architectures, cloud‑based firewalling (AWS Network Firewall, Azure Firewall, GCP Cloud Armor).
• Familiarity with DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, PCI‑DSS, NIST CSF and experience with security architecture governance and architecture review boards.
• Excellent English skills (written and spoken).
• We highly welcome candidates with a genuine interest and affinity for Information Technology (IT) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), as these attributes are considered valuable assets to our team.

What We Offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in‑person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location)
