## Description

Key Accountabilities

• Deploy and configure VMware Cloud Director (VCD) networking, including organisation VDC networks, edge gateways, routed and isolated networks, and integration with NSX-T backed provider gateways.

• Deploy and configure NSX Advanced Load Balancer (AVI Networks), including virtual services, pool configuration, health monitors, SSL termination, WAF policies, and integration with NSX-T and VCD environments.

• Implement Layer 2 extension across sites using NSX L2 Bridging, VMware HCX Layer 2 extension, or equivalent technologies to support workload mobility and phased migration strategies.

• Deploy and configure enterprise network security solutions, including next-generation firewalls (NGFW), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and advanced threat protection tools, from staging through to production.

• Deploy and configure VMware NSX-T environments, including overlay networking (Geneve), Tier-0/Tier-1 gateways, distributed routing, Distributed Firewall (DFW), Gateway Firewall, and micro-segmentation policies.

• Execute end-to-end migration projects, transitioning legacy network security infrastructure to modern platforms with minimal business disruption.

• Deploy and manage Palo Alto Networks (PAN-OS, Panorama) and Fortinet (FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer) NGFW platforms, including rule-base migration, URL filtering, application control, SSL inspection, VPN configuration, and threat prevention profile tuning.

• Configure OCI network security controls including Security Lists, Network Firewall, Fast Connect, and OCI IAM policies in support of hybrid and private cloud environments.

• Deploy and configure F5 BIG-IP (LTM, GTM, ASM/AWAF) solutions, including virtual server configuration, iRules, WAF policy deployment, SSL offloading, and health monitoring. Execute ADC migration and cutover activities.

• Configure and deploy secure web proxy and URL filtering solutions to enforce acceptable use and data loss prevention policies.

• Carry out security assessments of existing infrastructure to support migration planning and identify remediation requirements prior to cutover.

• Ensure all implemented solutions meet relevant security compliance standards and regulatory requirements.

• Contribute to High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) documentation in support of implementation activities; prior design experience across NSX, VCD, NGFW, or F5 environments is a valued advantage
