Summary

Experienced Palo Alto firewall engineer needed for a six-month contract within a major corporate security programme. You will design and build perimeter security infrastructure and separate firewall policy estates between entities, working remotely with Westbridge engagement.

Full Job Description

A major corporate programme is looking for a hands-on firewall engineer to take ownership of perimeter security delivery. This six-month engagement, operating inside IR35, centres on standing up new security infrastructure and separating firewall policy estates between business entities as part of a wider separation initiative. Your remit covers the full lifecycle of the work: you will plan the security architecture for new points of presence, deploy Palo Alto firewalls at those sites, and migrate existing policies so that each entity operates on its own clearly defined policy set. You will need to move at pace, working across multiple sites and prioritising delivery without compromising the security posture. Collaboration is central to the role. You will sit alongside the core routing team handling internet edge and PoP builds, the engineer running Zscaler security, plus the team that owns automation and tooling, so you should be comfortable coordinating technical work across disciplines and sharing ownership of outcomes. To succeed, you will need deep, current, practical expertise with Palo Alto firewall platforms and Panorama management, backed by well-developed security policy design skills and a track record of delivering infrastructure change in complex environments. If that sounds like you and you are available for an immediate start, we would like to hear from you. Requirements: - Extensive experience configuring Palo Alto firewalls and managing Panorama - Well-developed security policy design skills, including separation of policies between entities - Proven background delivering perimeter security infrastructure within large-scale programmes - Experience standing up and configuring firewall estates at new PoP sites - Comfortable working at speed across several sites - Experience migrating security policies between business entities - Strong collaboration skills across routing, security and automation teams
