Network Security Engineer - L2

Manila, Philippines | Hybrid (2 to 3 days onsite per month) | Competitive base + benefits

Five days onsite wearing you down? Long commutes catching up with you?

If you are already operating at Level 2 in network security and want greater flexibility, structured progression, and deeper exposure to the platforms that protect enterprise networks, this role is built for engineers who want to grow fast without sacrificing life outside of work.

At Orro, we back ambition. As we expand our managed services in network security, you will join a brand-new Network Security team from the ground up, supporting some of Australia’s largest enterprise clients across firewalls, Secure Service Edge and infrastructure as code.

This isn’t just another support role. We are building a modern, automation-driven network security function that is secure, reliable, and built around great people. As a Network Security Engineer Level 2, you will be the go-to escalation point, owning complex issues, implementing changes and helping shape how the team operates from day one.

Part of a high-energy, high-trust team, you will thrive on curiosity, accountability, and continuous improvement. Each day brings new challenges, solving complex traffic and policy issues, collaborating across teams, and raising the standard of service Orro is known for.
