HireSetu's note
Tickets come first
Strip away the corporate framing and this is an incident queue job. A client's firewall, IPS, IDS or proxy misbehaves, it arrives as a ticket, and your day is logging it with enough detail, diagnosing it, escalating what you can't clear and chasing it until it closes. Service levels are the measuring stick here: the posting repeats that no SLA should be missed, and the configuration database and knowledge articles have to stay accurate as you go.
The academic bar is a degree in IT, computing or similar, plus an associate-level certification in a security technology. CCNA, JNCIA, PCNSA and CCSA are the ones named.
A year or two in
Remote support on security devices is a standard first rung in this field. People who start here spend a year or two learning vendor consoles and the escalation path, then move to L2 work clearing the tickets L1 can't, or sideways into a SOC analyst seat watching alerts. That shape of career is general to security operations, not a promise in this posting, and it runs on adding certifications as you go.
The location and shift question
The title says remote field service and every duty is remote diagnosis, while the workplace type field says on-site working in Mumbai. Settle which one applies to your week, and whether the region work means occasional travel to client sites. Ask about the roster as well. Security support for clients in other time zones runs around the clock, and the posting mentions longer hours when necessary. Nights and weekends are part of the rotation in most teams like this.
The background that fits
Someone with CCNA-level networking and no security job yet. Entry-level experience across firewall, IPS, IDS and proxy is what's asked, so a home lab or a college project where you configured a firewall and read its logs is worth talking about. Helpdesk and network support people moving toward security devices are the other natural fit. It's client-facing, so the listening and pressure-handling points in the posting carry as much weight as console work.
