Security Engineer | Palo Alto Prisma, Strata Cloud Manager, Zscaler Migration Contract: 6 months Rate: £750 per day IR35: Inside IR35 Location: Remote-led / flexible The Opportunity A leading organisation is looking for a practical, hands-on migration Security Engineer to support a major network modernisation programme, with a specific focus on the secure access workstream. The role is centred around Palo Alto Prisma / Strata Cloud Manager, where security policies are managed, and will involve supporting a large-scale brownfield migration from Zscaler. This is a complex enterprise environment covering circa 30,000 users and hundreds of sites, with policies applied across multiple business areas. This is not a pure delivery or ticket-based role. The successful candidate will be expected to help shape design decisions, build and adapt security policies, challenge where needed, and clearly translate technical detail for non-technical stakeholders. Key Responsibilities • Design, build and adapt security policies within Palo Alto Prisma / Strata Cloud Manager, • Support a brownfield migration from Zscaler into the Palo Alto environment, • Work across policy areas including DLP, file control, URL filtering and proxy policies, • Review and adapt existing Zscaler configurations where appropriate, • Help make practical design decisions during the migration, • Translate technical security detail for non-technical stakeholders, • Escalate risks, blockers and technical issues clearly to senior stakeholders, • Prioritise workload effectively and push back when required, • Support a product-style delivery model, working through sprints and defined programme milestones, • Contribute to post-migration BAU, optimisation and continuous improvement Key Requirements • Strong hands-on experience with Palo Alto Prisma / Strata Cloud Manager, • Direct experience with Palo Alto / Strata migration activity, • Practical knowledge of security policy design and implementation, • Experience supporting migrations from Zscaler would be highly beneficial, • Strong understanding of secure access, SASE-style environments and policy-based controls, • Experience working in large-scale enterprise environments, • Ability to communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, including Director / C-level audiences, • Comfortable working to fixed deadlines in a commercially pressured programme, • Terraform / Infrastructure as Code experience would be useful, but is not essential, • Firewall and VPN experience is beneficial, but not essential Ideal Profile This role is best suited to a hybrid network/security engineer or architect who has delivered hands-on policy work across Palo Alto Prisma / Strata Cloud Manager, ideally as part of a migration from Zscaler. The client is not looking for a generic network engineer or someone with light training exposure. They need someone who can design, build, adapt and explain security policies in a complex brownfield environment, while helping the team meet a hard programme deadline
