Network Security Engineer
We are seeking a Network Security Engineer to design, implement, and maintain secure, resilient network infrastructure across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, systems, and application teams to protect business services, data, and users from evolving cyber threats. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to security architecture, operational improvements, and the continuous development of network defence capabilities.
Key responsibilities include configuring and managing firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, secure web gateways, VPNs, network access controls, and other security technologies. You will monitor network activity, investigate security alerts, analyse traffic and logs, and respond to incidents in line with established procedures. You will also conduct vulnerability assessments, support penetration testing activities, develop and maintain security policies and technical documentation, and help ensure network designs meet relevant security, regulatory, and operational requirements. Participation in security projects, infrastructure upgrades, audits, and disaster recovery exercises will also be expected.
Applicants should have proven experience in network security engineering, with strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing and switching, DNS, DHCP, network segmentation, encryption, authentication protocols, and secure remote access. Experience with firewalls and security platforms from major vendors, as well as cloud networking and security services, is highly desirable. Familiarity with SIEM solutions, vulnerability management tools, automation, and scripting languages such as Python will be advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical, and confident troubleshooting complex issues, with the ability to communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues. Relevant professional certifications in networking or cybersecurity are beneficial, alongside a commitment to continuous learning and secure-by-design practices.
