Act as a senior escalation point for network-related issues, performing advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis (RCA) to maintain availability and performance. Firewall & Network Security:
Manage and support Palo Alto Networks NGFWs and Panorama, implementing security policies, NAT rules, segmentation strategies, and threat prevention best practices. Documentation & Collaboration:
Maintain accurate network documentation and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver projects, implement changes, and resolve issues effectively.
Mandatory Qualifications (in order of importance) Cisco & Meraki Expertise Extensive hands-on experience with Cisco IOS switches and Meraki switches and access points. Deep experience designing, deploying, and operating Meraki MR wireless environments, including Dashboard administration, RF optimization, and 802.1X authentication. Strong mastery of enterprise networking fundamentals: VLANs, trunking, STP, inter-VLAN routing, LACP/EtherChannel, MC-LAGG/vPC, DHCP Snooping, and BPDU Guard. 710+ years of experience configuring and troubleshooting enterprise wired and wireless networks.
Advanced Troubleshooting Skills Proven ability to diagnose complex network issues using tools such as Wireshark/TCPDump, ping, and traceroute. Strong preference for candidates with CCNP- or CCIE-level troubleshooting expertise, particularly in wireless environments. Demonstrated experience troubleshooting NGFW policies and advanced security features, including URL Filtering, DNS Security, Threat Prevention, Data Filtering, App-ID, and User-ID.
Communication Skills Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to both technical stakeholders and non-technical audiences, including leadership.
Palo Alto Networks Expertise Proven hands-on experience configuring, managing, and troubleshooting Palo Alto Networks NGFWs and Panorama. Strong knowledge of high availability (HA), device groups, templates, and best-practice implementation of full NGFW feature sets. 35+ years
of experience operating Palo Alto Networks firewall environments.
Desired Qualifications Certifications: Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE)
Additional Technical Experience: Familiarity with SonicWall firewalls and/or Ruckus wireless systems. Strong understanding of BGP, route maps, and route redistribution.
