Job Description

Duration: 6+ Months Contract
Key Responsibilities:
  • Translate high-level business strategic objectives and goals into Enterprise IT requirements and conceptual designs.
  • Develop and support comprehensive solutions that meet requirements and align with client’s global network security and microsegmentation strategy.
  • Develop and maintain a multi-year strategic network and security architecture roadmap, incorporating Zero Trust and segmentation-driven security models.
  • Lead end-to-end network and security architecture across global platforms ensuring secure, high-performing, fault-tolerant, and resilient environments.
Microsegmentation & Zero Trust Responsibilities:
  • Architect and implement microsegmentation strategies across data center, campus, and cloud environments to limit lateral movement and enforce least-privilege access.
  • Design and operationalize Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles, integrating identity, application, and network-based policy enforcement.
  • Collaborate with application owners to Client, validate, and map application dependencies to enable policy-driven segmentation.
  • Define and enforce granular security policies using label/tag-based segmentation approaches across hybrid environments.
  • Integrate microsegmentation with firewalls, SIEM, IAM, EDR/XDR, and cloud-native controls for unified policy enforcement.
  • Lead adoption of microsegmentation platforms (e.g , Guardicore/Akamai Segmentation).
  • Develop segmentation governance models, policy lifecycle management, and compliance alignment (CIS/NIST/Zero Trust frameworks).

Core Network Security Responsibilities:
  • Participate in network security design reviews and ensure all implementations meet enterprise security standards.
  • Analyze business requirements to design and implement security across data centers, campus networks, and hybrid environments.
  • Provide ongoing risk metrics, control effectiveness tracking, and security posture reporting.
  • Conduct and support internal and external security audits and compliance assessments.
  • Maintain awareness of emerging threats and update policies accordingly.
  • Develop and manage policies, processes, and procedures ensuring reliability, availability, and security of network systems.
  • Manage and optimize Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems.
  • Collaborate with Cyber Security, infrastructure, and application teams toward compliance and operational excellence.
Microsegmentation & Advanced Security:
  • Strong hands-on experience in designing and implementing microsegmentation solutions in complex enterprise environments.
  • Proven capability to build application-aware segmentation policies based on traffic flow analysis.
  • Experience with policy simulation, enforcement, monitoring, and optimization in segmentation platforms.
  • Understanding of east-west traffic inspection, workload protection, and software-defined segmentation.
  • Familiarity with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and identity-driven access models.

Network Security & Infrastructure:
  • Strong experience managing LAN/WAN security technologies, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM, VPN, and NAC.
  • Expertise in firewall architecture and design with hands-on experience in:
    • Fortinet (Fortigate), Palo Alto, Client
    • Policy design, NAT, routing, application control, and threat prevention profiles
  • Experience securing public and private cloud (AWS, Clienture, GCP) environments.
  • Design and implementation of Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solutions.
  • Strong experience in proxy (forward/reverse), load balancing, and application security integration.
  • Experience with SDN and SD-WAN architectures, including segmentation use cases.
Qualifications:
  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise network security architecture, engineering, and operations.
Networking & Protocol Expertise:
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • Routing protocols: BGP, OSPF, RIP, MPLS
    • Network services: DNS, DHCP, NTP
    • IPv4/IPv6 architecture and traffic management
  • Experience in QoS, NetFlow, ACLs, NAT, multicast, and wireless technologies (802.11 variants).
  • Experience with F5 GTM/LTM, VPN technologies, and Internet proxy solutions.

Data Center & Infrastructure:
  • Experience managing enterprise data center environments with technologies including:
    • Aruba, Arista, Client switching
    • Firewalls, WAN optimization, IDS/IPS, DLP
  • Strong understanding of structured cabling and network facilities.

Operations & Lifecycle Management:
  • Plan, implement, and document infrastructure changes, including upgrades and migrations.
  • Work within ITIL frameworks for incident, change, and problem management.

Education & Certifications:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Network Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of experience in global network security environments.
  • Preferred certifications:
    • CCNP / CCIE
    • JNCIE
    • Security certifications (CISSP, CISM, or equivalent) are a plus

Key Differentiators Added (for your context)
This version strengthens the JD by:
  • Embedding microsegmentation as a core capability (not just one bullet)
  • Aligning with Zero Trust and application dependency mapping (important for your programs)
  • Emphasizing cross-team collaboration with application owners (critical for rollout success)
  • Integrating segmentation with existing firewall + SIEM ecosystem (not replacing, but complementing)
