We are seeking an experienced Remote Access Engineer (Citrix NetScaler & Zscaler Private Access) to join our global security engineering team in Zurich. As the ideal candidate, you possess deep expertise in secure remote access technologies, strong authentication and identity integration skills, and hands-on experience operating enterprise-grade remote connectivity platforms within a regulated financial services environment. You are comfortable working across infrastructure, security, endpoint, and identity domains, ensuring that employees, contractors, and approved third parties can securely access corporate resources.
Your primary responsibilities will involve architecting, operating, and continuously improving the Bank’s Citrix NetScaler Gateway infrastructure, integrating and maintaining multi-factor authentication solutions, enforcing secure access and conditional access policies, and ensuring the resilience, security, and compliance of the Bank’s remote access services.
In addition, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and operationalisation of the Bank’s future Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) platform and support the evolution of the remote access landscape towards a modern Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architecture. Working closely with IAM, Endpoint Management, Security Operations, and Global IT teams, you will help deliver secure, reliable, and scalable remote connectivity aligned with regulatory requirements and the Bank’s strategic security roadmap.
Beyond the remote access domain, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to and gain hands-on experience with other security services managed by the team, including Internet Proxy, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Secure Mail Gateway solutions. This provides an excellent opportunity for candidates looking to broaden their expertise across multiple security domains and further develop their security engineering career within a collaborative and highly skilled team.
