Senior Zscaler Engineer

Enterprise Zscaler environments don't run themselves. Our confidential enterprise client is seeking a Senior Zscaler Engineer to design, defend, and operate a complex, multi‑platform security environment (ZIA, ZPA, Zscaler for Workloads, and ZDX) at scale.

What you’ll own

• End‑to‑end design, configuration, and administration of enterprise Zscaler environments across ZIA, ZPA, Workloads, and ZDX
• Security, access, and traffic policies, built, maintained, and continuously optimised
• Disaster recovery for ZIA and ZPA, including identifying failure points before they become problems
• A seat as the senior technical point of contact, translating complex issues into clear answers for technical and non‑technical stakeholders alike
• Cross‑functional collaboration with networking, cybersecurity, cloud, and infrastructure teams

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands‑on Zscaler engineering experience, recent, active, and deep, not adjacent
• Strong, demonstrable work across ZIA, ZPA, Zscaler for Workloads, and ZDX
• Proven ZIA/ZPA disaster recovery experience and a current Zscaler certification
• Confidence troubleshooting complex enterprise networking and security issues independently
• The communication skills to be the calm, credible voice in the room, with clients, not just colleagues
• Flexibility to cover Eastern and Central US time zones

Nice to have

• Zscaler Digital Transformation Engineer certification
• Experience with Zscaler Branch Connectors
• Time spent inside large enterprise Zscaler deployments

Benefits

• A role where your expertise is the whole point — not one skill among many on a generalist ticket
• Direct, senior‑level engagement with a client who needs (and values) real Zscaler depth
• A contract built for flexibility, with the potential to extend
• A delivery partner who treats you as a professional, not a placement — clear communication, honest updates, and genuine support throughout the engagement
