The CrowdStrike Firewall Engineer will take ownership of a full end-to-end deployment of CrowdStrike Firewall across Windows Servers and Windows 11 laptops and desktops. The main objective of the project is to improve network security while ensuring system stability and business continuity throughout the implementation process.
The successful candidate will be responsible for analysing inbound and outbound network traffic across the organisation’s server and desktop estate.

You will act as the technical lead, managing troubleshooting, risk mitigation and remediation to ensure the safe and effective rollout of CrowdStrike Firewall across the business.
You must have proven experience implementing CrowdStrike Firewall within live enterprise environments, including deep knowledge of Windows Server environments and Windows 11 desktop operating systems.
