About our client

International technology group with 30+ years in the market, 800+ professionals, and offices across Central and Eastern Europe. They deliver projects in IT infrastructure, data centres, cloud solutions, and cybersecurity.
The company is growing — new projects, new clients, expanding demand. The Network & Security division runs a team of 20 engineers across Cisco, Checkpoint, Palo Alto, and Fortinet. Fortinet projects are picking up and the team needs someone who can take that capability to the next level. This is a place where you build and implement, not just operate.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS NOW:
The company is growing and Fortinet projects are expanding. The team currently has two mid-level Fortinet engineers — they need an L3 who can own the capability, drive delivery, and set standards.
There's a clear gap: strong demand from clients, growing project pipeline, but no senior Fortinet specialist to lead it.

Job description

Role / Mission:
You're coming in as the strongest Fortinet person on the team. The team is a mix of juniors, mids, and seniors across platforms — right now there are two people working with Fortinet at a mid level. You're L3, the one who drives it forward.
You design solutions for clients, you're the technical authority in presentations and consultations, and you pull the heavier delivery.
After 12 months, this is what good looks like: a stabilised Fortinet practice in the team, completed projects, and clients who know you by name. For a top profile, there's a natural path toward technical leadership of the Fortinet part — but first and foremost, they need someone who's strong technically and can communicate.

Key Responsibilities:
— You design, implement, and service network security solutions — primarily Fortinet (FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer)
— You're the L3 escalation point for the team — you handle what others can't yet
— You communicate directly with clients — technical presentations, consultations, solution proposals
— You work with presales and sales — you help sell what you'll then build
— You contribute to cloud-based Fortinet deployments (AWS/Azure)
— You share know-how with the team — you set standards and help juniors and mids grow

What This Role Is NOT:
— Not pure operations — you won't spend your days on tickets and routine maintenance
— Not a management role — you don't formally manage people, but you lead them technically
— Not isolated work — without client and team communication, this doesn't work

Operating Model:
Prague-based, remote-friendly. More time in the office during onboarding. After that, remote is possible — but you're expected at the office or client sites as needed. Most of the business is in and around Prague, so a reasonable commute matters. Permanent contract preferred, freelance possible for the right profile. Standard L3 on-call rotation within the team. Czech or Slovak proficiency required. Direct report: Head of Network & Security division.

Requirements

What Matters Most:
— Fortinet hands-on — strong experience with FortiGate, NGFW, VPN, IPS. Fortinet is the primary vendor here, not one of many
— Minimum 5 years in network security — design, implementation, service. Not just monitoring
— Client-facing communication — you can present solutions, consult, and defend a proposal. This is non-negotiable
— Security concepts — NGFW, NAC, SASE, SD-WAN, WAF. You understand them, not just list them

Fluent Czech or Slovak required. English at a level where you can handle a normal working discussion.

Nice to Have:
— Experience with Cisco or Palo Alto (the team works with these vendors too)
— FCP, CCNP, or PCNSE certification
— Cloud deployments (AWS/Azure) and IaaC principles
— Python for automation
— University degree

These are nice to have — not hard filters.

Offer & Terms

Freelance possible
— Company car
— Company laptop + phone
— Multisport card · Employer pension contribution (DDS) · HW/SW purchase allowance · Language courses · Financial bonuses for life events (birth of a child, wedding) · Company events, team buildings, sports activities · Extra days off
— Certification support — Fortinet NSE track, vendor training budget

— In-person meeting before the final decision
— You'll know where you stand at every step

    160.000 - 200.000 CZK

    An international technology group with more than 30 years in the market, 800+ professionals, and a presence across several countries in Central and Eastern Europe. It delivers projects in IT infrastructure, data centres, cloud, cybersecurity and IT outsourcing for customers ranging from banking and public administration to European enterprise organisations. Why This Role Exists Now: Regulatory pressure, NIS2 in particular, is pushing organisations toward segmented, auditable networks. Microsegmentation and identity-based access are becoming baseline requirements, and the volume of enterprise network engagements has grown accordingly. That architecture layer is currently covered on an ad hoc basis — by the presales team or by drawing on capacity from elsewhere in the group. The company is building a permanent capability instead.What Matters Most: - CCNP Enterprise Architecture or equivalent - certification at architectural, not implementation, level - Minimum 5 years in enterprise network design - demonstrable experience across switching, routing, microsegmentation and security - Software-defined networking and automation - conceptual command is required; hands-on implementation is not - Consultative capability - the ability to present and defend a design to a customer stakeholder is a condition of the role, not an advantage English at B2/C1 for the international team; Czech or Slovak for day-to-day work. Nice to Have: - CCNP Data Center or CCNP Security - Cloud or multi-cloud experience - TOGAF or ArchiMate - Practical involvement in lab work or proof-of-concept builds These describe the working context, not selection criteria.Role / Mission: You own the architecture of enterprise network and data centre solutions for large customers — from initial concept through customer-facing validation to oversight during implementation. You work alongside the internal presales team, and when a design change becomes necessary during implementation, you adapt the concept rather than handing it off. Within twelve months, the expectation is a set of delivered engagements, established relationships with the customers you have worked with, and a working model with presales that moves designs into delivery without unnecessary iteration. Key Responsibilities: - Design and optimise enterprise networks — LAN, WAN and SD-WAN — for large-scale customer environments - Present and defend technical solutions directly to customers in consultative settings - Work with presales and sales on accounts you subsequently deliver - Govern design changes during implementation, maintaining the integrity of the original concept - Coordinate with service providers on configuration standards; review Bill of Materials and assess solution sizing What This Role Is NOT: - Not an implementation role — configuration delivery sits with the engineering team - Not a hand-off model — architectural ownership continues into implementation, not concluding at design sign-off - Not a back-office technical function — customer-facing consultation is central to the role, not adjacent to it Operating Model: Prague-based, hybrid. On-site presence with customers at least twice a week; the majority of the customer base is in and around Prague. More time in the office during onboarding, with greater flexibility thereafter. English at B2/C1 for the international team; Czech or Slovak for day-to-day work. Direct report: Head of Network & Security division. Options: The engagement model is open to discussion: - Permanent employment - 160 000-180 000 CZK/month with a company car - Contract (self-employed) - day rate up to 11 000 CZK, agreed individually - Reduced capacity - four days per week is acceptable under either model for the right profileInterested?

We reply to everyone within two business days. | linkedin.com/in/jirisoljak You will speak directly with a senior IT recruiter with a hands-on technical background — a relevant conversation without the HR fluff. Process: - A short introductory call, 15 to 30 minutes - A maximum of two rounds — where there is a clear fit, a decision can follow the first - An in-person meeting precedes the final decision - You always know where you stand Open only to candidates eligible to work in the EU without visa sponsorship, residing in the Czech Republic long-term, with proficiency in Czech or Slovak.

    International technology group with 30+ years in the market, 800+ professionals, and offices across Central and Eastern Europe. They deliver projects in IT infrastructure, data centres, cloud solutions, and cybersecurity. The company is growing — clients are expanding their demand, new projects are coming in, and there's space for new competencies. The Cyber Security / IAM division currently works heavily with the IdStory platform, but the environment includes other IAM/IDM solutions too. They need someone who can handle the full cycle from analysis to implementation. Why This Role Exists Now: Client demand for identity security is growing. The IAM division is expanding its project portfolio and needs someone who can own the full delivery cycle — from analysis through architecture to go-live. There's space for new competencies and platforms beyond IdStory. The right person can shape what the IAM practice looks like going forward.What Matters Most: — IAM/IDM experience — minimum 3–5 years in IT security / IAM. Real implementation experience, not just operations — IAM platforms — IdStory, SailPoint, One Identity, Entra ID, Okta, or similar. Knowing one superficially isn't enough — Client-facing communication — analysis, consultations, presenting solutions. This is non-negotiable — Integration and APIs — REST, SOAP, GraphQL. You know how to connect systems Fluent Czech or Slovak required. English at a level where you can handle a normal working discussion. Nice to Have: — SQL and databases — you work with data, not just look at GUIs — Scripting (Groovy, PowerShell, Python) — Basic Linux knowledge — Identity governance concepts and identity lifecycle management — Experience with HR systems and their integration with IAM These are nice to have — not hard filters.Role / Mission: You own the full cycle — from the first client workshop through architecture to go-live. You walk into a client's environment, map what's actually there, ask the right questions, pull the data together into a document, and design a new architecture. Then you implement it. You're an analyst and implementer in one — not someone who waits for a spec. After 12 months, this is what good looks like: completed projects, clients who trust you, and working identity integrations in real environments. Key Responsibilities: — You analyse customer requirements and design IAM/IDM architecture — You implement and integrate identity solutions into client environments — You handle incidents and operational support within SLA — not as the core of your work, but as part of it — You create technical documentation — actually useful materials, not formal paperwork — You provide technical consultations to clients — You contribute to presales — solution proposals, presentations, technical input for bids — You work with sales, presales, support, and delivery teams What This Role Is NOT: — Not AD administration — you won't be resetting passwords and creating accounts — Not a pure operations role — SLA tickets are part of the job, but not the core — Not an isolated position — client and team communication is key Operating Model: Prague-based, remote-friendly. More time in the office during onboarding. After that, remote is possible — but you're expected at the office or client sites as needed. Most of the business is in and around Prague, so a reasonable commute matters. No 24/7 on-call. Permanent contract preferred, freelance possible. Czech or Slovak proficiency required.
