Security Architect - Cloud & Enterprise Security - Edison NJ
DSN, Edison, New Jersey, us, 08818
Senior Network Security Architect
Overview: We are seeking a
Senior Network Security Architect
with deep expertise in
Palo
Alto firewalls and GlobalProtect VPN
to lead the design, architecture, and implementation of our enterprise network security strategy. This role goes beyond operations - it requires strategic oversight, hands-on architecture, and leadership in building secure, scalable, and resilient environments.
Responsibilities: Design and architect enterprise network security solutions, with a primary focus on
Palo Alto firewalls
and
GlobalProtect VPN . Define security standards, frameworks, and roadmaps to ensure scalability, compliance, and resilience. Lead the evaluation, design, and deployment of next-generation firewall architectures, segmentation strategies, and remote access solutions. Collaborate with IT, security, and business stakeholders to align network security with organizational goals. Provide expert-level troubleshooting and guidance for complex firewall and VPN issues. Mentor and provide technical direction to engineering staff and cross-functional teams. Evaluate new technologies, tools, and methods to continuously improve the security posture. Ensure solutions align with compliance standards (NIST, ISO, CIS, etc.). Qualifications:
10+ years of experience in
network security architecture
and design. Hands-on expertise with Palo Alto Networks firewalls and GlobalProtect
(must-have). Proven ability to design and implement secure network architectures in enterprise environments. Strong understanding of VPNs, secure remote access, and advanced firewall policies. Familiarity with cloud integrations (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and hybrid security models preferred. Excellent communication skills - ability to explain complex architectures to both executives and technical teams. Relevant certifications such as
Palo Alto PCNSE, CISSP, or CCNP Security
strongly preferred.
Why This Role Matters: This is not a maintenance role - it's an opportunity to
own the strategy and design of enterprise-wide security architecture
while still applying deep technical expertise in
Palo Alto and GlobalProtect.
You'll directly shape how our organization protects its data, people, and infrastructure.
