Senior Network Security Architect

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 :

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.
