Lead automation, observability, and incident response; travel internationally for site builds.

Responsibilities

  • Own and operate the Zscaler platform (ZIA, ZPA, ZDX, ZCC) end-to-end, including policy frameworks, app-segmentation models, PAC/traffic-forwarding standards, App Connector topology, and NSS/log-streaming design.

  • Support Aruba (Central) Wireless, Ekahau and Cisco Catalyst switches globally.
  • Design, install, and configure network devices and ISP circuits at new offices.
  • Build automation and observability: leverage log analytics to create dashboards, alerting, and proactive detection.
  • Troubleshoot secure Network constructs in AWS, Azure, and GCP (NVAs, NSG, VPC, UDR, DirectConnect, ExpressRoute).
  • Author technical runbooks, escalation procedures, and knowledge-base content.
  • Participate in on-call rotations for changes and lead responses to major network incidents.
  • Be able to travel internationally for short periods of time for site builds.

Qualifications

  • Strong TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, TLS/DTLS, BGP, and QoS troubleshooting skills.
  • Multi-cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) networking and site-to-cloud connectivity experience.
