Z Scaler Consultant

About the role

Enterprise Zscaler environments don't run themselves. They need someone who can design them, defend them, and keep them running when it matters most — and right now, our client needs that person. We're working with a confidential enterprise client to find a Senior Zscaler Engineer who can take ownership of a complex, multi-platform security environment — ZIA, ZPA, Zscaler for Workloads, and ZDX — and operate with the independence and confidence of someone who's done this before, at scale. If you know Zscaler inside out and want a role where your expertise is trusted from day one, this is worth a conversation.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.

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.
