We're unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value - a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We're always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust.

  • Hand-on experience with Firewall management platforms Forti Manager, Forti Analyzer, Checkpoint Smart-1
  • Familiarity with security policy management tools like Algosec Security Management System
  • Familiarity with SD-WAN, Zero Trust architecture and next-generation firewall (NGFW) features
  • Familiarity with concepts like Zero Touch/Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
  • Experience with automation/scripting (Python, Ansible, Bash) and APIs for firewall management
  • Experience supporting Linux platforms.
  • Autonomous, driven, with strong ability to quickly adapt and respond to change
  • Customer oriented and quality mindset - we continually strive to deliver true customer value.
  • Design and Architecture: Lead the automation design, configuration, and deployment of enterprise-grade high-available firewall solutions to protect network boundaries.
  • Policy Management: Develop, Implement, and maintain firewall policies, security profiles, NAT rules, and application controls aligned with Swift security standards and compliance requirements.
  • Team Leadership: Mentor and guide a team of network security engineers, providing technical direction and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Incident Response: Oversee troubleshooting and resolution of complex firewall-related incidents, including performance bottlenecks, security breaches, and misconfigurations.
  • Monitoring and Optimization: Utilize tools (e.g., SevOne, WireShark, SMARTS, Splunk) to monitor firewall performance, analyze traffic patterns, and optimize configurations for efficiency and security.
  • Collaboration: Partner with Enterprise network, Data Center network, Architecture, SOC, Security and Operational teams to integrate firewalls systems with broader network infrastructure and applications.
  • Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of firewall configurations, processes, and procedures for audit and operational purposes.
  • Compliance: Ensure firewall deployments meet industry standards and regulations (e.g., PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISAE, DORA).
  • Research and Innovation: Stay ahead of emerging threats and technologies, recommending upgrades or new tools to enhance network security.
  • Communication: Strong verbal and written skills in English to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
