Senior Firewall Administrator

📍 Vijayawada 🏷️ Networking & Telecom 💰 ₹119,500 / month

About the Role

Gandhi Nagar in Vijayawada has a Senior Firewall Administrator opening, full time, on site, with a networking team managing perimeter security at real scale. Six years of experience is the expectation, and a senior administrator here reviews rule changes from other administrators before they're applied.

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 senior firewall administrator's judgment about balancing security against operational usability gets exercised regularly, since neither extreme actually serves the business well.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own firewall architecture and rule design
  • Review rule changes from other administrators
  • Manage VPN infrastructure at scale
  • Lead security incident response related to network perimeter issues

Qualifications

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

Skills That Matter

  • Firewall configuration at an architectural level
  • Network security
  • VPN
  • Troubleshooting

Good to Have

Experience with a specific next-generation firewall platform, familiarity with zero-trust architecture principles, and any background where a genuine security incident traced back to the network perimeter required real, fast investigation.

Why This Role

Gandhi Nagar sits within Vijayawada's growing industrial and IT services corridor, and this network's perimeter protects an environment large enough that rule changes need real review before deployment. Naukri Mitra has listed a few networking roles from this employer, and senior administrators who've joined recently describe the review discipline here as genuinely rigorous, a deliberate response to past incidents where an unreviewed rule change caused real problems.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on firewall architecture and a scenario discussion about a security incident traced to the network perimeter. Candidates who describe a methodical investigation process tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Vijayawada

Location & Pay

This role is based at Gandhi Nagar, Vijayawada, pin code 520003, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,19,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
