What we're looking for

  • 5+ years' experience in gateway engineering, data centre networking or large-scale infrastructure environments.
  • Strong skills with F5 / Blue Coat load balancing, Layer 4–7 switching and proxy systems.
  • Hands-on experience with Cisco ACI, Nexus switches, routers, and routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP).
  • Proficiency with Palo Alto firewalls and IPS solutions.
  • Experience designing and implementing VPN, DNS (Infoblox) and email solutions.
  • Knowledge of hybrid/public cloud integration.
  • Familiarity with Australian Government security frameworks, including the ASD ISM and Essential Eight.

*Must be able to obtain NV1 Clearance*

Why apply?
