• Configure, deploy, and manage Fortinet FortiGate (including FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer) and Palo Alto Networks firewalls (including Panorama, App-ID, User-ID, WildFire, and URL Filtering).
• Implement firewall policies, NAT rules, IPSec/SSL VPNs, and L2/L3 routing (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VXLAN) to enforce network segmentation.
• Perform migrations, upgrades, and advanced troubleshooting of network and security infrastructure.
• Collaborate with network architects and cross-functional product squads to integrate firewall controls into existing environments, including manufacturing sites.
• Stay current with emerging security threats and participate in a rotating on-call support schedule.

Who you are:
