Zero Trust Security Engineer - Zscaler (ID: 3803)
Summary
Security engineer who designs and evolves Zero Trust architecture using Zscaler ZIA, ZPA and Zscaler Identity — migrating enterprises off VPN/proxy to identity-centric access, running POCs, automating policies, and integrating IdPs like Azure AD and Okta. Requires 6–8 years in network/zero-trust security.
- Lead the design, implementation, and continuous evolution of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) solutions across enterprise environments.
- Engineer and optimize secure access solutions using Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), and Zscaler Identity.
- Drive Proof of Concept (POC) initiatives for new Zero Trust capabilities, validating performance, scalability, and security requirements.
- Design and execute migration strategies from traditional VPN and proxy-based architectures to identity-centric access models.
- Enhance security platforms through advanced policy automation, SSL inspection optimization, PAC file management, and operational improvements.
- Act as the technical bridge between engineering and operations teams by delivering validated configurations, implementation standards, and troubleshooting procedures.
- Collaborate with Identity, Network, Cloud, and Security teams to ensure seamless integration of Zero Trust policies and authentication services.
- Support the organization's cybersecurity transformation by eliminating implicit trust and strengthening access governance.
- 6–8 years of experience in Network Security, Cyber Security, Zero Trust Architecture, or Secure Access Engineering.
- Expert-level experience implementing and administering Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA).
- Strong knowledge of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles, least-privilege access models, application segmentation, and lateral movement prevention.
- Hands-on experience integrating identity providers such as Azure AD and Okta using SAML, SCIM, and OIDC protocols.
- Strong understanding of traditional proxy and VPN technologies, including IPSec and SSL VPN solutions.
