Job description

Enterprise Zscaler environments don't run themselves. They need someone who can design them, defend them, and keep them running when it matters most, and right now, our client needs that person.

We're working with a confidential enterprise client to find a Senior Zscaler Engineer who can take ownership of a complex, multi-platform security environment (ZIA, ZPA, Zscaler for Workloads, and ZDX) and operate with the independence and confidence of someone who's done this before, at scale.

If you know Zscaler inside out and want a role where your expertise is trusted from day one, this is worth a conversation.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN:

• End-to-end design, configuration, and administration of enterprise Zscaler environments across ZIA, ZPA, Workloads, and ZDX
• Security, access, and traffic policies, built, maintained, and continuously optimised
• Disaster recovery for ZIA and ZPA, including identifying failure points before they become problems
• A seat as the senior technical point of contact, translating complex issues into clear answers for technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
• Cross-functional collaboration with networking, cybersecurity, cloud, and infrastructure teams

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on Zscaler engineering experience, recent, active, and deep, not adjacent
• Strong, demonstrable work across ZIA, ZPA, Zscaler for Workloads, and ZDX
• Proven ZIA/ZPA disaster recovery experience and a current Zscaler certification
• Confidence troubleshooting complex enterprise networking and security issues independently
• The communication skills to be the calm, credible voice in the room, with clients, not just colleagues
• Flexibility to cover Eastern and Central US time zones

Nice to have: Zscaler Digital Transformation Engineer certification, experience with Zscaler Branch Connectors, and time spent inside large enterprise Zscaler deployments.

Benefits

WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US

• A role where your expertise is the whole point — not one skill among many on a generalist ticket.
• Direct, senior-level engagement with a client who needs (and values) real Zscaler depth.
• A contract built for flexibility, with the potential to extend.
• A delivery partner who treats you as a professional, not a placement — clear communication, honest updates, and genuine support throughout the engagement.

If this sounds like your next engagement, we'd like to hear from you.
