Network Security Engineer

Help build complex enterprise network and security environments

As a Network Security Engineer at Axians, you step into a world where technology never stands still. Our customers, from hospitals to government institutions and large enterprises, rely on complex, modern, and mission-critical networks.

As an engineer, you work at the heart of these infrastructures. You are involved in analyzing, optimizing, and further developing network and security environments where availability, performance, and security are crucial.

This is a role in which you dive deep into technology: from complex troubleshooting to structural improvements and automation of network and security processes. You have a direct influence on the quality, stability, and future-proofing of our services.

In this position, you work daily on complex enterprise networking and security environments. You are involved in both incident analysis as well as structural improvements and engineering challenges within existing and new infrastructures.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

• In-depth troubleshooting of network and security incidents;
• Engineering and optimization of network and security environments;
• Firewalling and network security within enterprise environments;
• Routing and switching challenges (including BGP and OSPF);
• SD-WAN environments and network segmentation;
• Security hardening and performance optimizations;
• Automation of network and security processes with tools such as Ansible, Python, and Git;
• Contributing to standardization and Infrastructure as Code;
• Executing changes and preparing implementations;
• Root cause analyses and structural improvements;
• Collaborating with consultants, architects, and other engineers.

You do not only work reactively, but precisely also proactively on improvements and innovation of the environments for which you are responsible.

Within this role, you work with, among others:

• Fortinet (FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer)
• Check Point
• Cisco Security
• F5
• Routing & Switching
• BGP
• OSPF
• IPSec VPN
• SSL VPN
• SD-WAN
• VLANs and network segmentation
• TCP/IP
• Enterprise networking & security architectures
• Automation tooling such as Ansible, Python, and Git

Are you currently working mainly with one of these platforms? Then we would also love to meet you. We believe that a strong foundation in networking and security is more important than experience with all technologies at once.

You are an engineer who loves to dive deep into technology and gets energy from complex infrastructures. You have a strong foundation in networking and security and enjoy not only solving problems but also improving them structurally.

For example, you have experience as a:

• Network Security Engineer;
• Network Engineer;
• Security Engineer;
• Infrastructure Engineer;
• Firewall Engineer;
• Network Specialist;
• Infrastructure Specialist;
• Senior NOC Engineer.

In addition, you have experience with:

• Enterprise networking and security;
• Firewall management within complex environments;
• Routing & switching;
• Troubleshooting at a senior level;
• Working in high-availability environments;
• Automation or scripting (Ansible, Python, Git, or similar).

Certifications such as NSE, CCNP, CCIE, Check Point CCSA/CCSE, or F5 certifications are a plus.

Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly innovative and threats are evolving. A strong security architecture has become a true 'need to have' for organizations. At Axians, we therefore do everything in our power to provide our customers with a secure IT infrastructure. Through intensive and trusted partnerships, focused on our customers' business, we advise and implement relevant, integrated, and 'best-in-class' cybersecurity solutions.
