The company’s Spain offices focus on enterprise and public sector sales, pre-sales systems engineering, and channel partnership management, often working with major telecom operators such as Vodafone and Orange.

Company History

Fortinet was founded in 2002 by brothers Ken Xie and Michael Xie, building on Ken's earlier success with NetScreen Technologies. The company pioneered the concept of the ASIC-based FortiASIC processor in its early security appliances, becoming one of the first to combine firewall, VPN, IDS, and antivirus in a single device. Over two decades, Fortinet evolved into a global cybersecurity power with a widely adopted Security Fabric platform, listing on NASDAQ and expanding its portfolio to SASE, SD-WAN, and cloud security.

For International Professionals

  • Fortinet operates a hybrid work model in Spain, with roles in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Málaga that typically require some days in the office and flexibility for remote work.
  • Spain roles are heavily sales-facing (Account Management, Business Development, Sales Engineering), so fluency in Spanish is usually a requirement; English is needed for internal communication.
  • Fortinet offers structured onboarding and continuous technical certifications, useful for those advancing careers focused on firewall, SD-WAN, and cloud security skills.
  • Given its strong partnership with OranGO, Orange and Vodafone, sales and ecosystem roles in Spain often involve working with large telecom carriers.
  • The company operates globally with a revenue, customer, and office spread across 100+ countries, making Spain office transfers relatively common for top performers.
