Job Description:

Zscaler / Zero Trust Engineer (Operations-Focused) – Remote

We’re looking for a hands-on Zscaler Engineer to support and maintain a large-scale enterprise environment where Zscaler is deployed across the organization. This role is heavily focused on day-to-day operations, stability, and disciplined change management within a production environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own day-to-day operations of the Zscaler environment (ZIA, ZPA, app connectors, segmentation, policy management)
  • Act as the go-to resource for Zero Trust and Zscaler across the organization
  • Manage and implement changes in a structured, controlled way following proper change management processes
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues impacting user access, network flow, and application connectivity
  • Maintain and optimize Zero Trust policies as the environment continues to mature
  • Support hybrid environments, including newly acquired entities and areas with legacy constraints
  • Partner with architecture leadership for design updates, while primarily executing and maintaining solutions
  • Ensure proper documentation, ticketing, and traceability for all work performed

Environment

  • Enterprise-wide Zscaler deployment across most locations, with some hybrid/legacy gaps
  • Zero Trust initiative in early-to-mid maturity (in place but still evolving)
  • Integrated with Okta for SSO/IAM
  • Supporting technologies include Fortinet and Microsoft infrastructure stacks
  • High-impact environment (manufacturing business operations directly affected by outages)

What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)

  • Strong hands-on experience supporting Zscaler in production environments
    • ZIA, ZPA, policy management, segmentation, app connectors
  • Experience working in Zero Trust environments (even if still maturing)
  • Solid networking fundamentals:
    • TCP/IP, DNS, traffic flow, basic handshake protocols
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues in live, production environments
  • Experience operating within structured change management processes
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to document changes clearly

Nice to Have

  • Experience supporting hybrid environments (cloud legacy systems)
  • Exposure to identity platforms (Okta, Azure AD, etc.)
  • Background in network/security environments leveraging Fortinet or similar stacks
  • Experience supporting manufacturing or high-availability environments

How This Role Is Structured

  • ~90% operations / support, ~10% architecture collaboration
  • Works closely with senior architecture resources but does not lead design
  • Focused on ongoing maintenance, issue resolution, and controlled improvements
