Job description

Are you a Palo Alto and Juniper expert ready to shape the future of technical operations at a high-growth fintech?

We are partnering with a global leader in payments technology to build a modern, secure, and scalable infrastructure from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to own architecture decisions, drive cloud migration, and lead network innovation across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem environments.

What We’re Looking For:

• Deep hands-on experience with Palo Alto NGFW & Panorama (TLS decryption, Prisma Access, GlobalProtect, etc.)


• Strong Juniper networking background (EVPN, VXLAN, VRFs, Junos OS)


• Proven success in hybrid cloud networking and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible)


• 10+ years in enterprise network/system design, 5+ years in technical leadership

Bonus: PCNSE, JNCIP, cloud certs, DR planning, and monitoring/forensics experience.

Why Join?

• High-impact role in a small, agile team


• Culture of experimentation and continuous learning


• Competitive comp, flexible working, and global reach

Important: Palo Alto and Juniper experience is essential. Cisco-only backgrounds typically aren’t the right fit.
