We are seeking an experienced Network Security Engineer to join a major organisation in Abu Dhabi, working on a large‑scale, cloud‑first security transformation. This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on SASE, Zscaler (ZIA/ZPA), FortiGate firewalls, and enterprise Wi‑Fi security.
You'll be responsible for designing, deploying, and operating secure network architectures across on‑prem, cloud, and remote environments - with full ownership rather than simply maintaining existing platforms. If you enjoy building, optimising, and securing modern network environments end‑to‑end, this role will suit you perfectly.
Key Responsibilities
Zscaler (ZIA & ZPA) / SASE
- Lead deployment and daily operations of Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA)
- Design traffic forwarding architectures (GRE, IPsec)
- Manage identity and authentication integrations
Configure and maintain Zscaler security controls:
- URL filtering
- Cloud firewall
- SSL inspection
- Threat prevention
- Access control
- Onboard new users and sites, supporting remote and branch connectivity
- Optimise local internet breakout and cloud‑first routing
Network Security / FortiGate
- Deploy and manage FortiGate firewalls
- Design and maintain policies, NAT, VPNs, and routing (BGP/static)
- Integrate FortiGate with Zscaler for secure egress and private access
Enterprise Wi‑Fi Security
- Support rollout and configuration of secure enterprise Wi‑Fi
- Design SSIDs, segmentation, and authentication (including 802.1X)
- Troubleshoot performance, coverage, and connectivity issues
Cross‑Domain Troubleshooting
- Diagnose complex issues across cloud, on‑prem, and remote environments
- Work across networking, security, and user connectivity
- Own deployments end‑to‑end
Ideal Candidate
- Strong hands‑on experience with Zscaler ZIA & ZPA
- Solid operational knowledge of FortiGate firewalls
- Experience with enterprise Wi‑Fi security
- Comfortable designing and deploying secure, cloud‑first architectures
- Strong troubleshooting skills across multi‑layered environments
- Able to take ownership of deployments, not just maintain existing systems
If interested, please apply and a consultant will be in touch ASAP!
