Job description
The Ideal Candidate
- Bachelor’s degree in IT/Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- 3–5+ years of experience delivering and/or supporting security solutions, ideally in SOC/SecOps environments (SIEM/SOAR/EDR/XDR).
- Strong networking and security fundamentals: TCP/IP, routing/switching, firewalling, TLS, DNS, log management.
- Experience integrating security platforms via APIs and standard mechanisms (syslog, webhooks, SSO/SAML), and familiarity with SOC processes (triage, investigation, containment, remediation).
- Excellent communication, presentation, and documentation skills; customer/partner-oriented mindset.
- Palo Alto Networks certifications: PCNSA/PCNSE; Cortex-related credentials (XDR/XSOAR/XSIAM) are a strong plus.
- Automation/scripting skills (e.g., Python), regex, and familiarity with detection concepts and frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK) – advantage.
- Experience integrating with ITSM/ticketing systems and/or third-party SIEM ecosystems.
- Prior experience delivering instructor-led trainings and facilitating technical workshops.
Job Description
Responsibilities:
- Lead technical discovery and presales qualification with partners and/or end customers to map SecOps use cases (TDIR, SOC automation, incident response, threat hunting, exposure/attack surface management).
- Design and propose solution architectures (presales/project-level HLD/LLD) for Cortex XSIAM/XDR/XSOAR/Xpanse, including integration patterns and data onboarding.
- Produce technical sizing and Bills of Materials (BOMs); contribute to technical sections of proposals, RFI/RFP responses and Statements of Work.
- Plan and deliver technical presentations, workshops, and demonstrations; define POC/POV success criteria and document outcomes.
- Implement and integrate SecOps solutions in delivery projects: data source onboarding, third-party integrations, incident/case workflows, and automation/playbooks (XSOAR/XSIAM), according to agreed scope.
- Provide best-effort post-sales technical assistance and ensure structured handover to delivery/managed services teams (documentation, assumptions, risks, runbooks, next steps).
- Deliver Palo Alto Networks authorized trainings and/or tailored enablement sessions; contribute to training materials and lab/demo readiness.
- Maintain technical leadership through continuous learning, hands-on labs, certifications, and tracking Cortex roadmap updates; share best practices within the team.
- Typical Deliverables:
- Solution Architecture & Design documentation (HLD/LLD) for Cortex SecOps deployments.
- BOM + sizing + assumptions/constraints and presales effort estimates.
- POC/POV plan (scope, success criteria, test plan) and results report.
- Integration design (data sources, collectors/brokers, API connections, incident/case flows).
- Operational runbooks: onboarding, tuning, incident response workflows, escalation procedures.
- Training materials (agenda, labs/handouts) and knowledge transfer sessions.
