Cloud Network Engineer

Job Description :

NotionAce Consulting FZE is a Dubai-headquartered cloud and enterprise technology consulting firm and an Oracle Cloud partner, certified to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. We run managed services, ERP modernization, and security operations for enterprise clients across the UAE and wider Middle East.

We are hiring a Cloud Network Engineer to own the networking and firewall layer across our OCI managed services accounts. You will be the escalation point for connectivity, firewall, and network performance issues — the person the team comes to when a tunnel drops or traffic won't route.

What you'll do

• Configure and manage network security across OCI: VCNs, subnets, route tables, security lists, NSGs, service gateways, and load balancers
• Administer FortiGate firewalls and FortiManager — policy changes, NAT rules, IPSec site-to-site tunnels, SSL VPN
• Handle day-to-day access requests: port openings, IP and subnet whitelisting, RDP/SSH/ICMP access between on-prem and cloud segments, with proper change control
• Troubleshoot connectivity and performance issues across hybrid environments — packet loss, latency, DNS resolution failures, routing between on-prem DC and OCI, DR tunnel instability
• Support landing zone and VCN design for new client environments, including CIDR planning and hub-and-spoke topologies
• Work within an SLA-driven ticketing process (Jira Service Management), documenting resolutions and building runbooks so routine changes become repeatable
• Partner with OCI infrastructure, database, and SOC teams on migrations and new deployments

What we're looking for

• 4–6 years in cloud or network engineering, with at least 2 years hands-on with firewalls
• Strong practical knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, NAT, DNS, and VPN technologies — you can read a packet capture and reason about a path end to end
• Hands-on FortiGate experience; FortiManager exposure is a strong plus
• Working experience with a major cloud platform's networking stack. OCI is preferred; solid AWS VPC or Azure VNet experience is acceptable and we will support your OCI ramp-up and certification
• Experience in a managed services, MSP, or enterprise support environment with ticket-based delivery and SLAs
• Clear written English — you will be communicating directly with client IT teams

Good to have

• Fortinet NSE 4 / NSE 5 / NSE 7, CCNA or CCNP (Enterprise or Security)
• OCI Architect Associate or Professional certification
• Exposure to Zero Trust architectures, VAPT remediation, or SOC collaboration
