Remote Network Operations Manager Jobs in Indiana

Senior Fortinet Network & Security Engineer

(Fortinet SME / Architecture Focus)

Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Fortinet Network & Security Engineer to join our IT team in an all-Fortinet environment. This role is critical to the design, implementation, and optimization of our enterprise network and security infrastructure.

This is not a generalist infrastructure role — we are specifically looking for a deep subject matter expert in Fortinet technologies, including firewalls, SD-WAN, and the broader Fortinet security ecosystem.

  • FortiManager / FortiAnalyzer
• Experience working in an “all-Fortinet” or heavily Fortinet-based environment
• Strong understanding of network security architecture and best practices

• Prior leadership or mentoring experience (not required)

---

Certifications (Strongly Preferred)

• Fortinet NSE certifications (NSE 4, 5, 7, or 8)
• Other networking/security certifications are a plus but secondary

Who Will Thrive in This Role
