Senior Network Engineer

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 scalability-particularly in areas such as Palo Alto firewall configuration management and deployment workflows .

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

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)

- 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

- 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)

- 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)
