Network Security Engineer
We are seeking a skilled Network Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, infrastructure, and data across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will design, implement, monitor, and continuously improve network security controls that support secure and reliable business operations. You will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, systems, and application teams to identify risks, strengthen security architecture, and respond effectively to emerging threats.
Your responsibilities will include configuring and maintaining firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, secure web gateways, VPNs, network access controls, and other security technologies. You will investigate security alerts, analyse network traffic and logs, support incident response activities, and contribute to the containment and resolution of security events. You will also conduct vulnerability assessments, support penetration testing activities, maintain accurate technical documentation, and assist with the development of security standards, procedures, and network segmentation strategies. The role may include participation in an on-call or out-of-hours support rota.
Applicants should have proven experience in network security engineering, with a strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, switching, network protocols, and common attack techniques. Practical experience with firewall administration, IDS/IPS, SIEM platforms, cloud networking, identity and access controls, and security monitoring is highly desirable. Familiarity with security frameworks, risk management, vulnerability remediation, and infrastructure-as-code or automation tools would be an advantage. Relevant professional certifications are welcome, alongside strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills. You should be able to manage competing priorities, explain technical risks clearly to varied audiences, and work collaboratively while maintaining a proactive approach to security improvement.
