You as a Network Engineer will:

  • Configure and maintain Palo Alto NGFWs and manage branch and cloud firewall policy through Strata Cloud Manager (SCM), supporting segmentation, threat prevention, and secure traffic flow.

  • Administer secure access with Zscaler - primarily Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) - including App Connectors, application segments, and access policy, with supporting work in ZIA and ZDX.

  • Administer and optimize Cisco switching - including VLANs, trunking, QoS, and routing - across corporate offices, data centers, and job sites.

  • Support enterprise wireless (WLAN) infrastructure, including WLC administration, access point deployment, and site surveys/troubleshooting for coverage and performance.

  • Design, configure, and manage Azure cloud networking, including virtual networks (vNets), subnets, network security groups (NSGs), user-defined routes, private endpoints/DNS, VPN gateways, load balancers, Application Gateways and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs).

  • Implement and manage SSL/TLS decryption and inspection policies on Palo Alto NGFWs to enable deep visibility and threat prevention on encrypted traffic, while accounting for certificate management and decryption exclusions.

  • Manage network access control and device administration with Aruba ClearPass (NAC), including 802.1X, policy enforcement, and TACACS+ for device authentication and authorization.

  • Monitor network performance, availability, and health; investigate and resolve incidents within SLA targets and escalate complex issues as needed.

  • Support onboarding of new job sites and offices, including switch/firewall deployment, zero-touch provisioning, and standardized configuration templates.

  • Collaborate with the Systems, Cloud, Security, and Service Delivery teams to support on-premises and cloud initiatives, and contribute to network transformation and migration projects.

  • Partner with Security Operations (SecOps) on vulnerability remediation, leveraging Rapid7 InsightVM to identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities across network and firewall infrastructure and to track remediation progress.

  • Maintain accurate documentation of configurations, diagrams, runbooks, change records, and incident resolutions.

This is the right role for you if:

  • 3-5 years of hands-on experience in enterprise network administration or engineering.

  • Working knowledge of Palo Alto NGFWs and centralized management (Strata Cloud Manager / Panorama), including security policy, NAT, and segmentation concepts.

  • Solid Cisco switching experience - VLANs, trunking, spanning tree, QoS - and familiarity with routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), subnetting, DNS, and DHCP.

  • Experience supporting enterprise wireless (WLAN/WLC), including AP deployment and RF troubleshooting.

  • Working knowledge of Azure networking components: vNets, subnets, NSGs, UDRs, Azure DNS, Private Link/Private Endpoints, VPN Gateway, load balancers, Application Gateway, and Web Application Firewall (WAF).

  • Hands-on experience with Zscaler ZPA; exposure to ZIA and ZDX is an asset.

  • Experience with Network Access Control - Aruba ClearPass (or equivalent) - 802.1X, and TACACS+ for device administration.

  • Experience with network monitoring and troubleshooting tools (e.g., SolarWinds, Wireshark, Zabbix) to proactively track performance, availability, and health.

  • Familiarity with vulnerability management and remediation workflows, ideally using Rapid7 InsightVM, in partnership with Security Operations (SecOps).

  • Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and documentation skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks.

  • A collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced, enterprise-scale environment and is eager to keep learning.

  • Relevant certifications are an asset - e.g., CCNA/CCNP, Palo Alto PCNSA/PCNSE, Aruba ACCP, or Microsoft AZ-700.

  • Bachelor's degree or college diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

  • The salary range for this role is $115,000 - $125,000.
