Azure + Sophos Firewall Specialist Required

Azure + Sophos Firewall Expert Needed (HA Active-Active Setup - POC Phase)

We are currently working on a Proof of Concept (POC) for implementing a High Availability (HA) setup using Sophos Firewall in Microsoft Azure (East US). The goal is to first validate everything in the POC environment and once successful, replicate the same setup in production.

Important Note:
- At this stage, NO changes are required on the production firewall
- Work will be strictly limited to the POC environment
- Once POC is successful, we will proceed with production implementation separately

POC Objective:
We want to implement and validate:
- HA (Active-Active) setup between two Sophos Firewalls
- VPN configurations
- Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN
- WAF setup and rules
- All backend services and routing

Current Status:
POC infrastructure is already deployed, including:
- 2 Sophos Firewalls
- External Load Balancer
- Internal Load Balancer
- VNet setup
However, we are currently facing issues specifically with HA configuration (Active-Active setup is not getting established properly)

Scope of Work:
- Review the existing POC setup in Azure
- Troubleshoot and fix HA (Active-Active) configuration
- Ensure proper synchronization and failover behavior
- Validate that VPN, S2S, WAF and routing work correctly with HA
- Assist in testing and stabilizing the setup

Required Skills:
- Strong hands-on experience with Sophos Firewall (XG/XGS)
- Deep knowledge of Azure networking (VNet, Load Balancer, Routing)
- Experience with HA (Active-Active) in cloud environments
- VPN, S2S VPN, NAT and WAF expertise

Timeline: Immediate / ASAP
