You will also identify trends in TAC that may benefit enhanced training.

Your Impact:

  • Serve as the primary technical contact for escalated issues related to Palo Alto’s SASE offerings.

  • Lead troubleshooting efforts for intricate technical problems, providing fault isolation and root cause analysis.

  • Act as a subject matter expert in areas including Routing & Switching (OSPF, BGP, VLAN, STP) and Security (IPSEC, SSL-VPN, NAT, GRE).

  • Provide technical leadership and consultation on complex system solutions, leveraging your expertise in next-generation firewalls and product architectures.

  • Review and publish technical documentation in our Knowledge Base, and mentor colleagues in generating technical knowledge articles.

  • Work with cross-functional teams, including Development, Sales, QA, and Marketing, to enhance product quality and internal processes.

  • Identify trends in technical support and advocate for enhanced training initiatives to improve team proficiency.

  • Champion a culture of innovation and continuous learning, mentoring team members to increase engineering skills and efficiency.

 


Qualifications

Your experience:

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

  • 5+ years of experience in a technical support role, with expertise in Routing & Switching and Security technologies.

  • Strong understanding of cloud deployments, particularly in AWS and GCP.

  • Experience with next-generation firewalls and deep knowledge of product-level architecture and packet flows.

  • Familiarity with authentication protocols such as Radius and TACACS.

  • Proficiency in using traffic generator tools, scripting, and automation mechanisms to replicate complex customer scenarios.

  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CCNP, CCIE, CISSP) are highly desirable.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
