Senior Cloud Native Security Architect

Our Mission

At Palo Alto Networks®, we’re united by a shared mission to protect our digital way of life. We thrive at the intersection of innovation and impact, solving real-world problems with cutting-edge technology and bold thinking. Here, everyone has a voice, and every idea counts. If you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career alongside people who are just as passionate as you are, you’re in the right place.

In order to be the cybersecurity partner of choice, we must trailblaze the path and shape the future of our industry. This is something our employees work at each day and is defined by our values:
Disruption, Collaboration, Execution, Integrity, and Inclusion. We weave AI into the fabric of everything we do and use it to augment the impact every individual can have. If you are passionate about solving real-world problems and ideating beside the best and the brightest, we invite you to join us!

This role is remote, but distance is no barrier to impact. Our hybrid teams collaborate across geographies to solve big problems, stay close to our customers, and grow together. You will be part of a culture that values trust, accountability, and shared success where your work truly matters.

As a member of the Cloud Native Security Services team you’ll work directly with Idira (formerly Cyber Ark) customers to understand, plan, and implement complex product use cases across business critical environments.

Our team has a long history as Cloud and Kubernetes consultants, with our customers’ needs central to our success. Today we continue that work within Idira, bringing our industry expertise to help customers realise the value they need from our products, whilst informing future releases with direct insights from the field.

We are a remote first team with no current expectation to travel on a regular basis. We like to meet in-person as often as we can, with opportunities to come to the London office roughly once a month, and bigger team meet-ups planned a few times a year.

Currently we’re working with Idira Secrets Management, Workload Identity, and Agentic Security product teams; developing custom integrations and navigating complex deployment environments, whilst acting as the customers embedded product and domain subject matter experts.

Where others specialise in fast and efficient product enablement, we target the most complex customer environments and use cases, requiring both broad and deep industry and domain experience. We prefer to work directly with customer teams, collaborating with stakeholders across operations, security and engineering teams.

As a Senior Cloud Native Security Architect you will repeatedly face new and difficult challenges. Your ability to remain composed and collaborative, whilst you work with your team to find solutions will be the biggest determining factor in your success in the role. Perfect execution is never our target; instead we aim to leave the customer closer to their goals and further from ambiguity, all whilst providing an exceptional customer experience.
