Expert-level proficiency with Palo Alto firewalls (including Panorama) and Juniper switching/routing (including VXLAN/EVPN)
Demonstrated experience in disaster recovery planning, security assessments, and compliance alignment (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOC, ISO)

Desired Skills & Experience

Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code using Ansible and Terraform
Familiarity with cloud governance and risk controls across AWS, Azure, and GCP
Strong scripting experience (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to support automation, logging, and audit readiness

Daily Responsibilities
