About the Roles
We're hiring two

Key Responsibilities (Both Roles):
- Design, configure, and maintain secure network environments across firewalls, routing, switching, and VPNs
- Conduct security assessments, patching, and performance tuning
- Implement vendor-specific best practices (Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto, WatchGuard, etc.)
- Assist with incident response and root cause analysis
- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to deliver technical outcomes
- Maintain documentation and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
Ideal Skills & Experience:
- Strong foundation in network security fundamentals and secure design principles
- Hands-on experience with multiple vendors (e.g. Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Aruba, WatchGuard)
- Experience working in either internal IT or MSP/consulting environments
- Relevant certifications highly regarded (CCNA Security, Fortinet NSE, Palo Alto PCNSA/PCNSE, etc.)
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Ability to work both independently and within high-performance teams
