- Monitor and mitigate the network and security incidents across global events on prem, hybrid and private networks
- Ensure Audit and regulatory compliance requirements are implemented across network segmentations, firewalls, VPN’s and at perimeter security devices
- Check Point Firewalls (policy design, NAT, VPN, threat prevention, logging/telemetry, upgrades and migrations)
- F5 Load Balancers (LTM/ASM/APM as applicable; iRules; TLS profiles; health monitoring; high availability)
- Network routing and switching (BGP/OSPF, VLANs, VRFs, QoS, high-availability designs)
- Wireless networking (enterprise Wi‑Fi architectures, security controls, segmentation, troubleshooting)
- Secure web proxy platforms (forward proxy, TLS inspection, policy enforcement,



troubleshooting)
- Enterprise network security initiatives (segmentation, zero trust patterns, control hardening, resiliency improvements)

Key Responsibilities :

- Architect, implement, and operate Check Point firewall solutions including policy lifecycle management, NAT strategy, VPN solutions, and threat prevention capabilities.
- Develop and maintain automation for network security operations (e.g., configuration management, policy deployment, compliance validation, telemetry and reporting).
- Act as the senior escalation point for critical incidents—debug, mitigate, and resolve high-severity outages and security events across network/security domains.
- Establish engineering standards and reference architectures for firewalling, load balancing, routing/switching, wireless, and proxy capabilities.
- Drive continuous improvement: reduce toil, improve MTTR, implement reliability patterns, and proactively address technical debt.
- Conduct deep root-cause analysis (RCA) and produce actionable post-incident improvements, runbooks, and automation enhancements.
- Mentor senior engineers and provide technical leadership through design reviews, architecture boards, and operational readiness assessments.
- Monitor and manage information system security incidents, troubleshoot, investigate and implement countermeasures and mitigate the risk.
- Plan the Network recovery / DR / resilience from malware / attacks,



unauthorized access, and policy breaches;
- Engage, interact and coordinate with third-party Network / Telecom/ service providers during security incidents.
- Analyze Network security trends and changes in threat and compliance workplace and develop and executes plans for compliance and mitigation of risk

Required Qualifications :

- Extensive, hands-on engineering experience with enterprise network security, including deep expertise in Check Point firewalls and F5 load balancers.
- Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional technical initiatives from design through implementation and operational handoff.
- Advanced knowledge of routing and switching, including dynamic routing (BGP/OSPF), redundancy, and troubleshooting at scale.
- Strong understanding of wireless networking and secure web proxy concepts, including policy enforcement and traffic inspection.
- Proven automation skills (required): scripting and/or infrastructure-as-code to integrate with CI/CD pipelines and ITSM workflows.
- Significant experience troubleshooting and resolving critical incidents, including packet-level analysis and performance triage.
- Ability to produce clear technical documentation: design artifacts, standards, runbooks, and post-incident reports.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence architecture decisions and drive alignment.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Relevant industry certifications with major network/security vendors (e.g., Check Point CCSA/CCSE/CCSM, F5-CA/F5-CSE, Cisco CCNP, Palo Alto PCNSE, Fortinet NSE, etc.).
- Advanced certifications such as CCIE Security, CCDE, CISSP, or equivalent is highly desired.
- Experience with modern security patte
