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 help protect critical systems, applications, and data by monitoring network activity, identifying vulnerabilities, and responding to security incidents. This role will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, systems, and compliance teams to ensure that security controls are effective, appropriately documented, and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities include configuring and managing firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, secure gateways, VPNs, network access controls, and other security technologies. You will investigate alerts and suspected threats, support incident response activities, conduct vulnerability assessments, and contribute to remediation planning. The role will also involve reviewing network designs, implementing segmentation and secure connectivity, analysing logs and traffic patterns, and supporting security testing. You will maintain technical documentation, operating procedures, and audit evidence, while helping to develop monitoring, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Applicants should have proven experience in network security engineering, with strong knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, switching, segmentation, encryption, authentication, and common network attack techniques. Experience with firewall platforms, SIEM tools, vulnerability scanners, cloud networking, and security automation is highly desirable. Relevant professional certifications in networking or cybersecurity are advantageous. You should be analytical, methodical, and confident working during security incidents, with the ability to communicate technical risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A proactive approach, strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to maintaining current knowledge of emerging threats are essential.
