Job Summary
The Technical Services Center of Excellence (CoE) builds the platforms, tooling and AI capabilities our engineers use to deliver security outcomes for customers. As Global Solutions Architect for AI Network Security, you will own the automation strategy for network security delivery. That spans traditional automation (scripting, API integrations, configuration management and workflow orchestration) as well as AI, which now plays a central role in the work. That includes assessing deployments, prescribing improvements, automating migrations, and providing conversational and agentic tools to consultants worldwide.
This is a full-stack role in the broadest sense. You are expected to be deeply fluent across the entire stack: frontend, backend, data, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, networking and cybersecurity. You also need to understand how modern AI systems work and how they fail. You design zero trust into everything you build, you understand the threat landscape for LLMs and autonomous agents, and you know the controls that address it. You reason from first principles, ship to production, and raise the engineering standard of the people around you.
The role sits where business leadership, thought leadership and technical depth meet. You turn leadership priorities into technical direction, shape how the organization thinks about AI and security, and deliver working capabilities to our field teams in Customer Success and Professional Services. You report regularly to senior leadership within Technical Services, and you build the relationships across business units that let Technical Services execute more efficiently.
Your Impact
Own the Technical Services automation portfolio end to end: scripts, API integrations against PAN-OS, Strata Cloud Manager and Prisma APIs, configuration migration and validation tooling, and workflow orchestration. Choose deterministic automation or AI based on what the problem needs.
Architect and own production platforms that run maturity and security assessments across NGFW, Strata Cloud Manager, Prisma Access, Cloud-Delivered Security Services and Prisma SD-WAN.
Design assessment catalogs, parsers and evaluators with measurable accuracy: parser coverage, license-entitlement gating, and readiness reported as measured rather than rounded up.
Design and operate multi-agent AI systems on frontier models (for example Gemini and Claude on Vertex AI), including tool design, agent loops, structured outputs, retrieval, refusal handling and output-quality evaluation.
Apply zero trust principles end to end: identity-based, per-request access for users, services and AI agents; least-privilege, short-lived credentials; segmented workloads; encryption in transit and at rest; continuous…
