Role summary

FireMon is seeking a Network Security Engineer to join their team. This role involves hands-on software development for network security policy control solutions. Responsibilities include collaborating on requirements, writing technical specifications, designing, coding, testing, and deploying new features. The engineer will work with various security devices and platforms, build test labs, and provide technical expertise and support for R&D and integration testing. The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, 3+ years of network design and support, expertise in major firewall vendors, and experience with packet analysis and network security tools.

FireMon delivers Network Security Policy Control for the Modern Enterprise.

Most enterprises run firewalls from multiple vendors alongside cloud security groups and microsegmentation platforms, and no single console can say whether it all works together. We believe policy is the control plane for network security: it defines what the environment should do, and the infrastructure carries it out. FireMon gives security teams one place to see, govern, and prove that their policy is doing what they intend, across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
