  • Support Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA 2.0) configurations and troubleshoot availability or performance issues.
  • Integrate Prisma Access with identity providers and logging systems.
  • Operational Support & Customer Interaction
  • Act as an escalation point for complex firewall and remote-access issues.
  • Monitor and tune customer environments to maintain strong security posture.
  • Provide documentation, change control input, and recommendations for improvements.
  • Support customer meetings, including service reviews and project updates.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • PCNSA certification (Required)
  • PCNSE certification (Highly desirable)
  • 3–5 years’ hands-on experience in network security engineering.
  • Strong understanding of firewalls, routing, switching, VPN technologies, and Zero Trust models.

  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Strong customer-facing skills and ability to simplify complex technical concepts.

Desirable (but Not Required) Additional Experience

  • Cisco ASA / Firepower
  • Fortinet FortiGate
  • Check Point
  • Juniper SRX
  • SD-WAN technologies (any vendor)
  • Basic familiarity with Prisma Cloud, though not required.
