You will oversee the configuration, operation, and policy enforcement of Palo Alto firewalls across cloud and on-prem environments maintaining security zones, threat profiles, traffic inspection, and consistent network protection. You’ll also drive the design and optimization of core network architectures, including routing, hybrid connectivity, segmentation, and overall network performance.
In addition, you will support and maintain our AWS environments with an emphasis on code to infrastructure initiatives and secure integrations with on-premises systems.
