Infrastructure Engineer III

The Senior Network Engineer is a hybrid engineering and operations leader responsible for designing implementing securing and supporting enterprise network services across on-premises and cloud environments.

In addition to core networking expertise this role is expected to drive automation and leverage AI capabilities to improve operational efficiency standardization and scalabilityparticularly in areas such as Palo Alto firewall configuration management and deployment workflows.

Palo Alto Firewall Engineering (Primary Focus)

• Design deploy and manage Palo Alto NGFW infrastructure including policies NAT VPN and segmentation
• Manage centralized configuration via Panorama and ensure consistency across environments
• Lead firewall optimization rule lifecycle management and security posture improvements

AI & Automation for Palo Alto (Key Expectation)

• Develop and implement automated firewall rule deployment (push automation) using APIs scripting or orchestration tools
• Reduce manual changes by building standardized templates and policy models
• Explore and implement AI-assisted workflows to:
  • Identify redundant or unused rules
  • Recommend rule optimization or cleanup
  • Detect anomalies or misconfigurations in policy sets
• Integrate firewall automation into CI/CD-style pipelines where applicable
• Partner with security teams to align automation with governance and audit requirements

Cisco Meraki (Store / Branch / Edge)

• Deploy and support Meraki MX/MS/MR infrastructure across distributed environments
• Standardize configurations for rapid store/branch rollout
• Automate repetitive tasks (config templating provisioning monitoring Workflows)
• Develop AI monitoring capabilities with the goal of issue identification notification and remediation within Meraki

Cisco Routing & Switching

• Configure and support routing protocols (BGP OSPF EIGRP) and enterprise switching
• Troubleshoot complex network issues including packet-level analysis
• Contribute to resilient network design and failover strategies

Azure Networking & Hybrid Connectivity

• Design and manage Azure networking (VNets subnets routing NSGs connectivity)
• Implement hybrid connectivity (ExpressRoute / VPN) between on-prem and cloud
• Align network patterns with secure cloud architecture principles

Automation & AI Expectations 

This role is expected to lead the evolution from manual operations to automated and intelligent network management:

• Identify and eliminate repetitive operational tasks through automation
• Build reusable automation frameworks across:
  • Firewall changes (Palo Alto focus)
  • Network provisioning and configuration
  • Monitoring and alerting workflows
• Evaluate and introduce AI-assisted tooling to:
  • Improve troubleshooting accuracy
  • Enhance observability and predictive insights
  • Support decision-making in network and security operations
• Drive adoption of automation across the team (documentation standards mentoring)

Leadership Expectations

• Act as a technical lead and escalation point across networking and security domains
• Mentor engineers on both networking fundamentals and automation practices
• Lead cross-functional initiatives (network cloud security operations)
• Influence roadmap decisions with focus on scalability automation and efficiency
• Balance delivery of projects with ownership of operational health

Qualifications :

• 7 years in enterprise network engineering (LAN/WAN/security/cloud)
• Strong hands-on experience with:
  • Palo Alto firewalls (required)
  • Cisco routing (BGP OSPF EIGRP)
  • Cisco Meraki
  • Azure networking
• Proven ability to operate in a build run (50/50) environment
• Experience developing or using automation (scripting APIs infrastructure-as-code)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Palo Alto automation (Panorama APIs scripting orchestration)
• Knowledge of automation tools (e.g. Python Ansible Terraform)
• Familiarity with AI/ML-driven operational tools or observability platforms
• Relevant certifications (CCNP Palo Alto certifications Azure networking)
