## Description

We are looking for a Senior Network Security Engineer with a strong specialization in Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and proxy technologies, particularly Blue Coat ProxySG (now part of Broadcom/Symantec). This role sits within our broader network security function and is responsible for administering, securing, and optimizing web/internet access infrastructure across the organization.

Candidates should bring at least 2–3 years of hands-on Blue Coat ProxySG / SGOS administration experience as part of a broader network security career (typically 5+ years overall). Experience in banking and financial services is a strong plus, but not mandatory.  
  
**Key Responsibilities**

Proxy & Secure Web Gateway Administration

-   Administer, configure, and support Blue Coat ProxySG (SGOS) and related secure web gateway/web security solutions.
-   Design, implement, and maintain web filtering categories, acceptable use policies, and secure internet access controls.
-   Configure and manage SSL/TLS interception (SSL Visibility), authentication integration (AD/LDAP, Kerberos, SAML), and ICAP integration with DLP, antivirus, and sandboxing solutions.
-   Monitor proxy performance, availability, and capacity; conduct tuning and optimization to ensure minimal latency and maximum uptime.  
    

Troubleshooting & Incident Response

-   Troubleshoot proxy-related incidents, connectivity issues, and policy conflicts, working across network layers (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, routing).
-   Participate in security incident response related to web-based threats, malicious traffic, and policy violations.
-   Collaborate with SOC, network, and broader cybersecurity teams to correlate proxy logs with SIEM and threat intelligence platforms.  
    

Project, Migration & Lifecycle Support

-   Support upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management of Blue Coat ProxySG appliances and related SWG components.
-   Assist with migration or integration projects between on-premise proxy solutions and cloud-delivered SWG/SASE platforms.
-   Contribute to automation and scripting initiatives to streamline policy deployment, reporting, and routine administration tasks.  
    

Governance, Documentation & Compliance

-   Prepare and maintain technical documentation, configuration standards, and operational runbooks.
-   Support internal and external audits by providing evidence of secure configuration, change control, and policy enforcement.
-   Ensure alignment with information security policies and relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., SAMA, NCA ECC, ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS) where applicable.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Network Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
-   5+ years of overall network/cybersecurity engineering experience, including a minimum of 2–3 years of hands-on Blue Coat ProxySG / SGOS administration.
-   Alternatively, 5+ years of overall network/cybersecurity experience with strong hands-on exposure to other leading secure web gateway or proxy platforms (e.g., Symantec Web Security Service, Forcepoint, McAfee/Skyhigh Web Gateway, Cisco WSA/Umbrella, Zscaler, Fortinet FortiProxy), with demonstrated ability and willingness to specialize in Blue Coat ProxySG.
-   Strong understanding of core networking concepts: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, routing, and network segmentation.
-   Hands-on experience with web filtering, URL categorization, SSL/TLS interception, and content inspection policies.
-   Experience integrating proxy/SWG platforms with DLP, sandboxing, threat intelligence, or SIEM solutions is highly valued.
-   Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with network, security, and infrastructure teams.
-   Experience in banking, financial services, or other regulated sectors is preferred but not required.
