Job Details

Senior Firewall Rules and Automation Engineer:
Design and deploy enterprise firewall rule sets across data centers, cloud platforms, and edge environments, including zone-based segmentation and micro segmentation policies to minimize attack surface.
Conduct rule reviews, cleanup initiatives, and policy rationalization efforts to eliminate redundancy and reduce complexity.
Develop and maintain workflows for rule provisioning, validation, and decommissioning using automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Python) and integrate them with ITSM systems (e.g., ServiceNow) and CI/CD pipelines.
Implement policy-as-code frameworks to standardize rule creation, change control, and compliance monitoring across on-prem and cloud environments.
Design and manage firewall policies for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, implement transit gateway/hub-and-spoke architectures, and align network security with cloud governance models.
Provide tactical response for critical global incidents, codify lessons learned into reusable playbooks, and translate outcomes into enduring standards.
Conduct network consulting engagements, produce reference architectures, define structured solutions (HLD, LLD, BoM, QA), emphasize Infrastructure-as-Code and observability, and map as-is to to-be states with prioritized remediation plans.
