Cloud Network Engineer

Job Description :

Notion Ace 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 Forti Gate firewalls and Forti Manager — 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 Forti Gate experience;
Forti Manager 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
