• Lead customer onboarding into Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN environments, managing integration and migration from start to finish.
• Support and troubleshoot multi-vendor environments across WAN, LAN, firewalls, VPNs, LTE circuits, VoIP, and Metaswitch UCaaS/voice services.
• Design and refine LTE failover strategies, redundancy configurations, and hybrid WAN setups.
• Serve as a direct point of escalation with Palo Alto Networks and other vendors on complex technical issues.
• Proactively monitor customer environments, review logs, and identify and address threats or performance degradation before they become incidents.
• Share expertise with peers on Palo Alto best practices, including SD-WAN policy design and security posture alignment.
• Maintain thorough documentation of network architectures, security policies, and operational playbooks.
• Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.

What you'll need for success:

• High School Diploma or GED (Bachelor's degree in IT, Networking, or a related field preferred).
• 7 to 10 years of hands-on experience in networking and security, with preference for candidates coming from an MSP or ISP background.
• Deep practical experience with Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN and Next-Generation Firewall platforms.
• Strong command of routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, VRRP), NAT, and VPN technologies.
• Demonstrated ability to configure Palo Alto security capabilities including App-ID, User-ID, SSL decryption, IPS/IDS, and GlobalProtect.
• Proficiency working across multi-vendor CLI environments spanning Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, Versa, and Meraki.
• Working knowledge of VoIP, SIP trunking, LTE failover, and Metaswitch UCaaS platforms.
• Familiarity with SOC 2 compliance requirements, ITSM workflows, and change management processes.
• PCNSE (Palo Alto Certified Network Security Engineer) or CCNP Security certification strongly preferred.
