Job Title
We are seeking an experienced Firewall / Palo Alto Security Engineer for a large-scale corporate divestiture programme. You will design, build, and configure perimeter security infrastructure and execute firewall policy separation across multiple sites. This role requires close collaboration with core routing, Zscaler security, and automation teams to deliver at pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Perimeter Build-Out: Design and deploy Palo Alto firewalls (including HA pairs) at new PoP locations, configuring zones, routing, NAT, and core threat prevention suites.
- Panorama Management: Configure device groups, template stacks, and enforce strict role-based access control (RBAC) for entity administrative separation.
- Policy Separation & Cleanup: Analyse legacy rulebases, migrate retained-entity policies, and cleanly remove residual cross-entity access from divested infrastructure.
- Collaboration & Automation: Partner with routing and Zscaler teams on traffic flows while utilizing Terraform, Ansible, and Git for firewall-as-code delivery.
