This is a hands-on technical delivery role, so we need someone who has genuinely configured, deployed, migrated and troubleshot Prisma Access in live enterprise environments - not someone who has only worked at architecture or presales level.

- Working with BGP, OSPF, static routing, NAT and DNS.
- Supporting identity integrations including Microsoft Entra ID, SAML and SCIM.
- Configuring and troubleshooting TLS/SSL decryption.
- Producing technical documentation including HLDs, LLDs, runbooks and as-built documentation.
- Managing cutovers, troubleshooting live environments and supporting projects through hypercare and handover.
What we're looking for
You will need deep, hands-on Prisma Access experience and should be comfortable getting into the platform and carrying out the configuration yourself.
Strong experience across:
- Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access
- GlobalProtect
- Service Connections & Remote Networks
- Mobile User onboarding
- App-ID & User-ID
- Panorama / Strata Cloud Manager
- IPsec VPN
- BGP / OSPF / enterprise routing
- Firewall and network security migrations
- TLS / SSL Decryption
- SASE / SSE / Zero Trust
- HLD & LLD documentation
- Enterprise troubleshooting and incident resolution
Previous experience delivering Prisma Access within large enterprise or Professional Services environments would be highly desirable.
This is a great opportunity for a genuine Prisma Access specialist who enjoys being hands-on and wants to work on a long-term enterprise transformation programme.
