  • Evaluate emerging ZTNA and secure access technologies and provide data-driven recommendations

  • Lead pilots and phased deployments, including testing, validation, and performance benchmarking

  • Act as a Tier-3 escalation lead for complex remote access and connectivity issues

  • Ensure high availability and resilience of remote access infrastructure in a 24x7 global environment

  • Assess and mitigate risks related to latency, scale, and user experience during migrations

The Expertise and Skills You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field

  • Hands-on experience with Zscaler (ZPA/ZIA) or comparable Zero Trust platforms

  • Proven success migrating legacy VPNs to Zero Trust, cloud-delivered access solutions

  • Deep expertise in ZTNA design, implementation, and Zero Trust principles (least privilege, continuous verification, no implicit trust)

  • Experience designing application segmentation and identity-based access policies

  • Strong knowledge of traffic steering, split tunneling, and secure access routing (ZVPN architectures)

  • Experience with load balancing, gateways, and access control layers

  • Advanced troubleshooting across network layers (L3–L7)

  • Familiarity with hybrid environments (on-prem, cloud, SaaS)

  • Ability to optimize latency, performance, and user experience in ZTNA environments

  • Experience with high availability, disaster recovery, and failover strategies in global, always-on environments

  • Experience with network automation tools (Python, Ansible, APIs)

  • Familiarity with endpoint management and deployment tools (Intune, SCCM)

  • Strong understanding of identity providers (Azure AD / Entra ID), SSO, and conditional access

  • Knowledge of PKI, certificates, and modern authentication methods

  • Experience integrating with SIEM, EDR, and security monitoring platforms

  • Strong ownership mindset with a focus on execution and delivery

  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with competing priorities

  • Excellent communication skills across technical and business stakeholders

  • Proven ability to lead incident response and drive resolution under pressure

  • Preferred certifications: Zscaler (ZCCA / ZCCP / ZCSE), CCNP/CCIE (Security or Enterprise), CISSP (or equivalent), ITIL Foundation
