Remote Pro Ai places vetted Network Security Engineers who design and operate secure, segmented, high-availability enterprise networks. They engineer NGFW platforms, SD-WAN, SASE and ZTNA, implement micro-segmentation, NAC and DDoS protection, and automate configuration compliance with Python and Ansible.
Your Network Security Engineer builds NGFW, SD-WAN, SASE / ZTNA and micro-segmentation, and automates network security configuration and compliance checks. Typical stack: Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco, Zscaler and Cloudflare.
Data-centre builds, giga-project campuses and sovereign-cloud connectivity across the Gulf are driving large network programmes, while hybrid work keeps pushing organisations from VPNs to SASE and zero-trust access. Engineers who automate and segment, rather than configure firewalls by hand, are increasingly hard to hire.

We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms every level, so the band you buy is the scope you get.
Typical certifications held by our Network Security Engineer bench: PCNSE · NSE 7 · CCNP Security. We verify every certificate with the issuing body before a profile reaches you, and list verified credentials on each profile card.

MatchIQ™ is our vetting and matching engine: 3.4% of applicants pass 5 gates. The live assessment for this role tests the 5 capabilities above against a realistic task, not trivia.
Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 Network Security Engineer profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.
Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 5,120/month · Senior from USD 6,730/month · Lead from USD 8,740/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.
Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.
This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.
Palo Alto, Fortinet and Cisco for firewalls and segmentation, Zscaler and Cloudflare for SASE and ZTNA, F5 for application delivery and DDoS protection, and Python and Ansible for automation. Many engineers hold PCNSE, Fortinet NSE 7 or CCNP Security, verified before we share profiles.
Yes. Engineers assess applications and user groups, design ZTNA policies based on identity and device posture, pilot with low-risk groups and retire VPN access in stages. Users get faster, simpler access, and you remove broad network-level trust from the estate.
Engineers first map real traffic flows, then run segmentation policies in monitor mode before enforcing them. Applications are segmented in priority order with their owners involved, and rules are automated and version-controlled so policy stays accurate as the estate changes.
Yes. They design secure links between data centres, branches and sovereign or in-Kingdom cloud regions, covering encryption, routing, redundancy and monitoring. Designs are documented for operations and aligned with NCA and ISO 27001 network security controls. Failover is tested before go-live, not after the first outage.
