Summary and company overview
Network Security Engineer II
Direct Hire 1099 or W2 only.
The client is not offering subcontracting for this position.
This role is onsite in Irving, TX. Must be onsite 3-5 days per week.
[11510]
Job Summary:
You will not see any vendor names in the responsibilities listed below. We are more interested in aptitude and attitude than specific OS experience. Let us know your history, but of more interest is your grasp of technical concepts, not specific user interfaces. We want team members who will take ownership of issues and drive them to resolution, not simply perform tasks as assigned. You will work with subject matter experts (SME) on behalf of our customers (other business units within our client), to ensure their projects and deployments succeed with appropriate security posture, in a timely manner. You must have a passion for learning new technologies, not simply working with what you already know. You will be provided with the tools to produce your own career success, but should exercise initiative to seize them and create that success. You will be challenged in a fast-paced environment, but success in handling these challenges will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.
Candidates MUST have experience deploying and managing Palo Alto Firewalls in Cloud environments.

- Work on projects with senior engineers, in an effort to advance partnership opportunities between Network Security team and other business areas.
