- Maintain and optimise Palo Alto platforms including policy management, monitoring and troubleshooting
- Work closely with SOC, infrastructure and cloud teams to improve security coverage and response capability
- Document platform configurations, processes and improvements
- Experience working hands-on with SIEM platforms (Fortinet experience highly regarded)
- Strong endpoint security knowledge (SentinelOne experience ideal)
- Exposure to Palo Alto firewalls and security platforms
- Experience working with SOAR tools or security automation workflows
- Understanding of incident response processes and detection engineering concepts
- Ability to troubleshoot complex security tooling and platform issues
