Our Mission

At Palo Alto Networks, our mission is at the core of everything we do:

To be the trusted cybersecurity partner, safeguarding our digital existence.

We envision a future where each day is more secure than the last.

We are an organization founded on the principles of challenging norms and innovating processes, seeking forward-thinkers who are dedicated to shaping the future of cybersecurity.

Our Work Philosophy

We prioritize flexibility and choice in all our employee programs. We have redefined the conventional notion that all employees share identical needs and desires. We provide personalized options, allowing our team members to select what suits them best, from wellness support to professional growth and beyond.

At Palo Alto Networks, we value collaboration and the importance of face-to-face interactions.

This is why our employees typically work from the office three days a week, reserving two days for personal choice and flexibility to work in their most productive environments.

This arrangement encourages informal discussions, effective problem-solving, and the building of trusted relationships. While specifics may evolve, our aim is to cultivate an environment where innovation flourishes, with office-based teams collaborating three days a week to achieve success together.

Your Role


In this position, you will engage directly with our esteemed customers to resolve their intricate post-sales challenges, where the analysis of situations or data necessitates a thorough evaluation of various factors.

You will demonstrate critical thinking skills in understanding the methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria necessary for achieving results.

Networking with key contacts outside your immediate area of expertise will be a regular part of your role, as you adeptly communicate complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


Regular participation in technical discussions with cross-functional teams will be expected, fostering an atmosphere of transparency that ultimately leads to enhanced products, improved work environments, and superior cybersecurity.

Your quick decision-making and support for our clients will provide the rapid assistance they require to maintain secure environments – necessitating swift, thoughtful action and technical support as needed, often in high-pressure scenarios.

- Review technical documentation for training materials, marketing collateral, manuals, troubleshooting guides, etc.

- Travel to customer locations during critical situations to expedite resolutions as necessary

- Provide on-call support 24/7 as required

Your Qualifications

- Willingness to work flexible and varying shifts, including weekends and evenings

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills

- Proficiency with Remote Access VPN solutions, IPSEC, PKI & SSL, TCP/IP, Authentication Protocols (LDAP, RADIUS, etc.)

- Experience with Firewall Central Management Systems

- Strong capability to independently troubleshoot complex and unique networks with diverse media and protocols

- Experience with virtualization technologies (AWS, Azure, VMWare, OpenStack)

- Familiarity with Windows and MAC OS is advantageous (Debugging, Editing Registries, Plist, etc.)

- Experience with Cisco, Checkpoint, Juniper (Netscreen), and Fortinet products is a plus

The Team

Our technical support team plays a vital role in our success and mission.

As a member of this team, you will enable customer success by providing ongoing support to clients after they have acquired our products.

Our commitment to our customers extends beyond the sale – it evolves as threats and technology advance, ensuring we remain aligned with our mission.


You'll be involved in implementing new products, transitioning from legacy systems to new solutions, and addressing integrations and critical issues as they arise – proactively seeking out challenges to ensure our clients receive the highest level of support.

We identify and resolve technical problems, with a focused aim of delivering the best customer support in the industry.

Our Commitment

We are innovators who dream big, take calculated risks, and challenge the status quo in cybersecurity.
