  • Design and advise on application separation strategies between production and non-production environments using firewalls, route segmentation, and policy-based control.
  • Analyze and balance traffic performance, cost optimization, and high availability requirements for a multi-cloud environment with very high data throughput (40TB/sec).
  • Evaluate and present trade-offs between Aviatrix and Palo Alto Flex VM architectures, including technical, operational, and cost implications.
  • Assist internal teams with PoC deployments, performance testing, and integration strategies.
  • Document the recommended architecture, deployment plans, and operational guidance.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud network engineering or security architecture.
  • Proven track record deploying PAN VM-Series Firewalls managed by Panorama using Flex licensing models.
  • Experience designing and implementing Aviatrix Transit Network (including CoPilot, Spoke, and FireNet) in production environments.
  • Deep knowledge of multi-cloud networking concepts, including:
  • Inter-region and inter-cloud routing
  • AWS cloud WAN, Google Cloud Platform NCC, Azure virtual WAN design & cost modeling expertise
  • Encryption, segmentation, and policy enforcement
  • High availability and failover strategies
