Job Description

Position Overview : The Cloud Network Security Engineer will be responsible for planning, deployment, and maintenance of network security equipment and solutions across on-premises, AWS, and Azure cloud infrastructures.

Work Schedule : This position is Monday-Friday. Team members are expected to be flexible with their schedule to support up to two after-hours planned maintenance windows per week.

Description : The Cloud Network Security Engineer will join a collaborative infrastructure team focused on securing and supporting our growing cloud presence across AWS and Azure. This role will serve as a key technical resource for cloud-based networking and firewall operations, with a strong emphasis on Palo Alto firewalls, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native networking. The ideal candidate will assist senior engineers in designing, troubleshooting, and optimizing cloud network security, particularly in environments where traffic flows between cloud VPCs / VNETs, on-prem data centers, and internet endpoints.

Responsibilities :

  • Design, implement, and support network security architectures in AWS and Azure environments, with a focus on scalable, resilient solutions.
  • Deploy and manage Palo Alto firewalls, including VM-Series for AWS / Azure, integrating them into complex cloud environments, and physical hardware for on-prem solutions.
  • Assist with troubleshooting cloud networking issues (e.g., route tables, network ACLs, NSGs, VPNs, VPC / VNET peering, Transit Gateway).
  • Collaborate with DevOps, Security, and Cloud Engineering teams to align firewall policies with application and infrastructure needs.
  • Use Terraform and Ansible to automate firewall provisioning, security rules, and cloud infrastructure configuration.
  • Participate in ongoing operations and incident response efforts for cloud network security incidents.
  • Develop and maintain documentation for cloud network security architectures and operational procedures.
  • Stay informed about evolving cloud networking technologies and provide guidance on best practices.

Required Skills and Qualifications :

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Strong organizational and task management abilities, especially in dynamic or high-priority situations.
  • Ability to prioritize and multitask across concurrent projects and support tickets.
  • Collaborative mindset with a proactive approach to troubleshooting and documentation.
  • Technical Knowledge and Experience :

  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including routing, switching, TCP / IP, DNS, NAT, and the OSI model.
  • Hands-on experience with Palo Alto Networks firewalls, including deployment, configuration, policy management, and troubleshooting in cloud environments (AWS and / or Azure).
  • Working knowledge of AWS networking (VPCs, Transit Gateway, Security Groups, NACLs, Route Tables, Direct Connect, VPN) and / or Azure networking (VNETs, NSGs, User Defined Routes, ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway).
  • Familiarity with cloud-native routing and peering patterns, including VPC / VNET peering, hybrid connectivity, and secure remote access.
  • Experience reading and writing infrastructure-as-code using Terraform HCL, and automating tasks via Ansible or equivalent tools.
  • Comfortable interpreting and modifying JSON / YAML configuration files and consuming RESTful APIs for automation and monitoring.
  • Exposure to CI / CD pipelines and cloud-based deployment models.
  • Comfortable working in command-line environments (Linux shell, Azure CLI, AWS CLI), with practical experience using tools like traceroute, tcpdump, Wireshark, or cloud-specific diagnostics.
  • Familiarity with IP address management (IPAM) platforms and best practices in cloud-based IP planning and subnetting.
  • Bonus : Experience with Palo Alto Panorama, Prisma Access, or integration with SIEM / log aggregation platforms is a plus.
