Senior Network & Security Consultant

Deep, hands-on, multi-vendor network and firewall experience - routing, switching, segmentation, and firewall policy you can design, deploy, troubleshoot, and demonstrate in a technical interview (Fortinet, Palo Alto, and/or Cisco). This is the core of the role and the bar candidates are measured against.

Demonstrated success working directly with clients - clear communication, professionalism, and stakeholder management, including explaining technical risk and decisions to non-technical leadership

Significant progressive experience blending network and cybersecurity responsibilities, ideally in a consulting, MSP, MSSP, or IR setting

Strong working knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs, DNS, DHCP, and segmentation

Solid understanding of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) fundamentals: identity-centric access, least privilege, micro-segmentation, device posture, and continuous verification

ZTNA delivery experience. Hands-on Cloudflare (Cloudflare One / Zero Trust, Access, Tunnel, Gateway, WARP) is strongly preferred. If your ZTNA experience is on another platform (Fortinet, Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto Prisma Access), a demonstrated ability to map it across and ramp quickly is welcome

Hands-on experience with wireless controllers and NAC solutions

Demonstrated ability to perform under pressure during incidents: calm, methodical, and effective during long, high-intensity engagements

Willingness and availability to work odd hours, weekends, and extended shifts when supporting active IR matters

Working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, and Microsoft 365 / Azure administration

Familiarity with Linux administration and scripting (PowerShell, Bash, or Python) for automation and rapid response

Experience with SIEM/EDR platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, CrowdStrike, Splunk), including rapid deployment in IR scenarios

Exposure to incident response frameworks such as NIST SP 800-61 and SANS PICERL is a strong asset

Solid grasp of cybersecurity fundamentals: identity, encryption, logging, hardening, and zero-trust principles

Comfort working across multiple client environments, tooling stacks, and change-management processes simultaneously

Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Network+, CCNA, CCNP Security, NSE, PCNSA, MS-102, AZ-104, or equivalent strongly preferred; CISSP Associate, SSCP, GCIH, or GCFA an asset

Eligibility for Government of Canada security clearance (Secret or higher); existing clearance highly valued

Bilingualism (English/French) considered a strong asset

Work shoulder-to-shoulder with marquee clients on programs and incidents with genuine national and allied security impact

Join a rapidly scaling firm with a flat, high-trust culture and direct access to senior IR and technical leaders

Exposure to a wide variety of advanced security tooling, sectors, and cleared environments

Competitive compensation, on-call and IR premiums, performance incentives, and comprehensive benefits

Continuous learning budget, certification sponsorship, and clear paths into senior engineering, IR, architecture, or security specializations
