The Position

The Opportunity:

As a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer for Cloud & Edge Defense, you will be the primary architect and engineer responsible for the security of our global digital boundaries and multi-cloud ecosystems. Your mission is to secure our "front door" by designing and implementing high-performance traffic inspection solutions across AWS, GCP, and Azure using Palo Alto VM-Series as the central pillar. This is a technical "implementer" role where you will architect, design, build, and operate cloud network security infrastructure.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Design: Design and develop robust cloud network infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure, leveraging Palo Alto instances for deep traffic inspection.

• Advanced Palo Alto Engineering: Execute advanced configuration and management of Palo Alto solutions (VM-Series, Panorama), including complex upgrades and migrations in production.

• Cloud Programming & Automation: Leverage cloud vendor network infrastructures to configure and deploy security solutions via automated pipelines using Terraform and Python.

• Feature Enforcement: Implement and manage App-ID, User-ID, WildFire, Threat Prevention, SSL Decryption, and GlobalProtect to enforce a Zero Trust posture.

• Operational Excellence: Manage security policies as code and improve automation workflows and cross-platform orchestration to eliminate manual friction.

• Technical Subject Matter Expertise: Troubleshoot complex issues related to cloud-native routing, load balancing, and firewall inspection within multi-cloud environments.

Who you are:

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Security, or a related technical field.

• You have a proven track record of implementing network security controls in at least two major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• You possess 3+ years of experience configuring and maintaining Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), including TLS inspection, WildFire, and GlobalProtect.

• You have proven experience using Ansible, Terraform, or Python to manage network security infrastructure at scale.

• You have a deep understanding of core protocols (BGP, OSPF, DNS, TLS/SSL) and how they intersect with security enforcement.

Preferred:

• Palo Alto Networks PCNSE, AWS Certified Security, or Azure Security Engineer Associate certifications.

• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and GitHub to maintain version-controlled security configurations.

• Strong scripting skills in Python or Go to build custom API integrations between security platforms.

• Experience working in highly regulated environments such as Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, or Finance.

• A self-starter with the ability to manage technical workstreams from concept to production with minimal supervision.
