Firewall Administrator

📍 Bhopal 🏷️ Networking & Telecom 💰 ₹75,000 / month

About the Role

Misrod in Bhopal has a Firewall Administrator opening, full time, on site, with a networking team managing perimeter security across the organization. Three years of experience is the expectation, and firewall work carries genuine consequences: an overly permissive rule creates real risk, while an overly restrictive one breaks legitimate business traffic.

A Day in This Job

The work covers configuring and maintaining network hardware, troubleshooting connectivity issues, monitoring network performance and security, and planning capacity for future growth. A firewall administrator here balances that security-versus-usability tension constantly, and learning where the line sits for a given business need takes real judgment.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Configure and maintain firewall rules
  • Manage VPN infrastructure
  • Monitor network security and flag anomalies
  • Troubleshoot connectivity issues traced to firewall rules

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in electronics, computer science, or a related field is expected, along with a solid understanding of networking protocols, routing, and infrastructure management.

Skills That Matter

  • Firewall configuration
  • Network security
  • VPN
  • Troubleshooting

Good to Have

Experience with a specific major firewall platform, familiarity with zero-trust network principles, and any background where a firewall rule change was made carefully enough to avoid breaking a legitimate business integration nobody had documented.

Why This Role

Misrod has grown steadily as part of Bhopal's broader IT services expansion, and this team's firewall infrastructure protects an environment where a rule change has real, immediate consequences either way it goes wrong. Naukri Mitra has listed a few networking roles from this employer, and administrators who've joined recently describe investigating the history behind an existing rule before removing it as a habit the team enforces strictly, after a past cleanup once broke a legitimate integration nobody remembered documenting.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on firewall and VPN fundamentals and a scenario discussion about a rule that seems overly permissive. Candidates who investigate before removing tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Bhopal

Location & Pay

This role is based at Misrod, Bhopal, pin code 461116, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹75,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
