THE CHALLENGE

Join a highly skilled, collaborative, and forward-thinking Global Network Engineering team dedicated to maintaining a robust, resilient, and cutting-edge network infrastructure. We pride ourselves on a culture of shared knowledge, continuous improvement, and mutual support, always ready to innovate and tackle complex challenges together as we transition toward identity-centric, automated network architectures.

We are looking for a Lead Network Engineer to help shift our global network away from a traditional perimeter model toward a modern Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and Infrastructure as Code approach. The core of this role is deep, hands-on expertise with Palo Alto Networks security and identity-driven access, paired with the ability to act as technical lead for the engineers around you.

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE ON

 Zero Trust Architecture & Network Security:

• Architect, deploy, and scale global Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions that provide secure, granular access in place of traditional perimeter VPN entry points.
• Lead the design and enforcement of identity-based microsegmentation policies across data centers and corporate offices to restrict lateral movement and enforce least privilege.
• Own the evolution of our SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) roadmap, delivering policy-driven security for a distributed workforce and cloud workloads.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Panorama, using advanced capabilities such as App-ID, User-ID, and WildFire to maintain a strong security posture.

Network Automation & Source of Truth:

• Maintain and grow our centralized Network Source of Truth (NetBox or Nautobot) as the data foundation for automated network and security configuration.
• Use Python, Ansible, and Terraform to automate deployments, standardize configuration, and eliminate manual drift.
• Build automated workflows and CI/CD pipelines, and champion network programmability across the team.

Cloud & Infrastructure Operations:

• Design secure network topologies in AWS and GCP, aligning cloud-native constructs such as VPCs and Transit Gateways with our Zero Trust requirements.
• Manage our physical and virtual infrastructure — Arista switching, Meraki wireless and MX, F5 BIG-IP load balancing, and existing SD-WAN — as the transport layer beneath the security architecture.
• Use Checkmk and cloud-native visibility tools to proactively identify and resolve performance and security incidents, with telemetry from the physical port to the cloud WAN.
• Partner with ISPs and technology vendors to keep our global footprint resilient and performant.

Technical Leadership & Collaboration:

• Act as technical lead for engineers on the team, setting direction on design decisions, reviewing work, and sharing knowledge across the group.
• Set the bar for design, configuration, and documentation quality through peer review and cross-functional collaboration.

On-Call Support:

• Participate in a rotating on-call schedule (1 week primary, 1 week backup) supporting critical network infrastructure.
