Job Description

Your Career

Prisma Access™ (formally GlobalProtect Cloud Service) provides protection straight from the cloud to make access to the cloud secure. It combines the connectivity and security you need - and delivers it everywhere you need it. Using cutting-edge public and private cloud technologies extending the next-generation security protection to all cloud services, customers on-premise remote networks and mobile users.

We are seeking an experienced Data Software Engineer to design, develop and deliver next-generation technologies within our Prisma Access team. We want passionate engineers who love to code and build great products. Engineers who bring new ideas in all facets of software development. Collaboration and teamwork are at the foundation of our culture and we need engineers who can communicate and work well with others towards achieving a common goal.

At Palo Alto Networks, leaders of engineering are -

• Technical experts and thought leaders that help accelerate the adoption of the very best engineering practices, while maintaining knowledge on industry innovations, trends, and practices
• Visionaries who help deliver on critical business needs and are recognized across the company as go-to engineering resources on given domains
• Role models and mentors who exemplify the best of Palo alto Networks culture - They do the right thing even when it’s hard, treat challenges as a chance to learn, and provide honest opinions so the team can improve
• Leaders who can communicate cogently with hands-on engineers as well as executives

We expect office-based employees to be in the office four days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.
