About The Role:
We are seeking a seasoned Principal Network & Cloud Networking Engineer with deep expertise in FortiGate firewalls, hybrid/multi-cloud connectivity, and secure cloud network architecture. In this strategic role, you will lead the design, implementation, and optimization of cloud and on-premises networking solutions, ensuring seamless and secure connectivity across regions, clouds, and environments.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement highly available, scalable, and secure hybrid and multi-cloud network architectures across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premises.
- Build and manage global SD-WAN, site-to-site VPNs, and interconnects (e.g., Direct Connect, Interconnect, ExpressRoute).
- Own Layer 3–7 network design, segmentation strategy, traffic flow optimization, and firewall policy enforcement.
- Ensure end-to-end network observability, latency analysis, and proactive incident management.
- Serve as the SME for FortiGate firewall deployments (physical and virtual) across data centers and cloud environments.
- Define and enforce security zones, NAT rules, SSL inspection, and IPS/IDS capabilities.
- Collaborate with the Cloud Security Architect on zero-trust, micro-segmentation, and edge protection designs.
- Maintain firewall rule hygiene, audit readiness, and compliance alignment (e.g., PDPL, GDPR, ISO 27001).
- Design and maintain secure, resilient cloud connectivity strategies including hub-and-spoke, transit gateway, and hybrid mesh topologies.
- Implement cloud-native networking services (e.g., VPC, VNet, Shared VPC, Cloud NAT, Private Link, etc.).
- Support cross-cloud service communications, domain resolution, and egress traffic control.
- Partner with the FinOps Architect to ensure efficient and cost-effective network design.
- Act as a technical leader across infrastructure, cloud, and security teams, providing expertise on networking.
- Mentor mid- and senior-level engineers and help shape internal network engineering standards.
- Participate in root cause analysis and postmortems for major network-impacting events.
Qualifications:
- 12+ years of experience in enterprise networking, with at least 5 years focused on cloud networking and firewall engineering.
- Deep expertise with FortiGate firewalls (configuration, policy management, HA, logging, IPS, SSL inspection).
- Strong experience with multi-cloud environments including AWS, GCP, Azure—especially around secure connectivity.
- Familiarity with Terraform, Infrastructure-as-Code, and automated network provisioning.
- Solid understanding of DNS, BGP, IPSec, NAT, VLANs, routing protocols, and SD-WAN.
- Knowledge of regulatory compliance and network security standards (PDPL, NIST, ISO, etc.).
- Excellent documentation, troubleshooting, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Industry certifications (e.g., NSE4+, CCNP, GCP/AWS Networking Specialty) are a strong plus.
