Profile match
Fortinet is an American cybersecurity company founded in 2000 by two brothers who had previously built the intrusion prevention firm NetScreen. It is best known for FortiGate, a firewall built around custom silicon that gives it a price and throughput advantage over software-only competitors, and it has extended that installed base into a wide security platform covering secure access service edge, endpoint protection, security operations and switching and wireless. Headquartered in Sunnyvale and listed on Nasdaq, it sells almost entirely through channel partners and is unusually strong with mid-sized enterprises and service providers.

Internal Consulting Systems Engineer

Overview

We are seeking an Internal Consulting Systems Engineer to support, evolve, and automate solutions and tools that optimize pre-sales department workflows. This role blends cybersecurity expertise, systems engineering, and software development, with a strong focus on automation, reliability, and secure-by-design solutions.

You will work closely with pre-sales stakeholders and internal systems engineers to design, build, and operate scalable platforms that improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and enable secure technical operations across the organization.

Responsibilities

Solution & Platform Engineering

  • Support, maintain, and continuously improve internal solutions and tools used across sales and pre-sales organizations.
  • Design and implement automation-first solutions to streamline workflows, reduce operational friction, and improve consistency.
  • Own solutions across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC): requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

Security & Systems Operations

  • Troubleshoot complex security, network, and system issues in primarily Linux-based environments.
  • Contribute to secure system architectures involving virtualization, containers, and networked services.
  • Lead firewall management, including policy design, rule optimization, auditing, and advanced troubleshooting.

Software Development & Automation

  • Develop and enhance internal platforms, APIs, and automation using Python (Django) and Ruby on Rails.
  • Apply secure coding practices, code reviews, and automated testing to ensure reliability and maintainability.
  • Integrate solutions with existing infrastructure, tools, and services across Linux, Windows, and macOS environments.

Enablement & Collaboration

  • Participate in solution validation, internal demonstrations, and technical enablement activities.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to translate operational and security needs into scalable technical solutions.
  • Produce clear documentation and operational runbooks to support adoption and long-term maintainability.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Senior-level experience in cybersecurity, with strong expertise in firewalls, network security, and incident troubleshooting.
  • Strong background in automation and software engineering, including proficiency in Python (Django) and Ruby on Rails.
  • Solid understanding of SDLC best practices, including version control (git and mecurial), testing, and deployment strategies.
  • Advanced Linux system administration skills; ability to integrate with Windows and macOS environments when required.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, network, and application layers.
  • Hands-on experience with virtualization and container technologies.

Soft Skills

  • Strong problem-solver with a hands-on, analytical mindset.
  • Motivated and curious, with a continuous learning attitude and interest in new technologies.
  • Open-minded and adaptable when working with evolving requirements and diverse stakeholders.
  • Patient and methodical, especially when troubleshooting complex systems and security issues.
  • Autonomous, able to take ownership of tasks and drive solutions end-to-end.
  • Fluent in English, with the ability to communicate clearly in both written and verbal contexts.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Exposure to data science or AI applied to security analytics or workflow optimization.
