Support Enablement and Escalations Engineer

Our Mission

At Palo Alto Networks everything starts and ends with our mission:

Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.
Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we're looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

Who We Are

We take our mission of protecting the digital way of life seriously. We are relentless in protecting our customers and we believe that the unique ideas of every member of our team contributes to our collective success. Our values were crowdsourced by employees and are brought to life through each of us everyday - from disruptive innovation and collaboration, to execution. From showing up for each other with integrity to creating an environment where we all feel included.

As a member of our team, you will be shaping the future of cybersecurity. We work fast, value ongoing learning, and we respect each employee as a unique individual. Knowing we all have different needs, our development and personal wellbeing programs are designed to give you choice in how you are supported. This includes our FLEXBenefits wellbeing spending account with over 1,000 eligible items selected by employees, our mental and financial health resources, and our personalized learning opportunities - just to name a few

Your Career

The team is an exciting crossroads between Support/TAC (Technical Assistance Center) and Engineering. The team is empowered to drive decisions and to be the thought leaders within the Global Customer Services organization at Palo Alto Networks. On any given day members of the team may work with new products and software very early in the new product lifecycle, provide training, assist a support engineer with a customer issue, replicate a complex issue in our lab or help improve features for supportability and usability. We are a relatively small global team and will only consider the top people from a support or engineering background. You are a good candidate if you are excellent at working with many cross-functional teams such as developers, product management, sales and also customers. In particular, you will be engaging with the Prisma Access Browser product –the industry's only SASE-native secure browser.

Your Impact

• Learning the product by handling cases escalated from the support teams, before they reach Engineering. Creating and developing enablement materials for Support - troubleshooting docs and processes.
• Identifying widespread issues, sending guidelines and communicating updates
• Identify supportability and usability requirements for new releases during the design phase as well as post GA via enhancement requests
• Develop and deliver training materials for TAC. Training is a key component of the day-to-day success of support. An Enablement engineer is responsible for staying up to date with technical details on Palo Alto Networks new products and industry in general and sharing those details with TAC via white papers, BBLs, or TOIs
• Develop tools for TAC – For better visibility and troubleshooting
• Monitor and identify case trends. Sometimes there are opportunities to "catch" a problem before it escalates. Our team is positioned to identify or help in these unplanned projects that result in a better customer experience, cost reduction or better security

Your Experience

• Experience: 5 years in support roles, working directly with large global customers and partners in addition to internal teams (such as DevOps, Engineering, QA, Product managers..)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience troubleshooting complex Network issues
• Proficient in Web Protocols, HTTP, HTTPS, TLS
• Expertise in Windows troubleshooting
• Comfortable with usage of tools such as Wireshark or chrome developer tools and ability to isolate issues related to OS / Network security layer

Nice to have:

• Expertise in troubleshooting additional OSs (Linux, MacOS, iOS or Android)
• Multi-vendor Zero-Trust Network access vendor experience (PANW, Cisco, Checkpoint, IPS / IDS systems, IdPs)
• Experience as an Enablement Engineer or an Escalations Engineer is a plus
• Scripting skills (JS/Python/Powershell) are a plus.
• Experience training internal technical teams
• Familiarity with Browser Architecture

The Team

Our technical support team is critical to our success and mission. As part of this team, you enable customer success by providing support to clients after they have purchased our products. Our dedication to our customers doesn't stop once they sign – it just evolves. Our technical team provides behind-the-scenes support to meet our customer's needs. As threats and technology evolve, we stay in step to accomplish our mission. You'll be involved in implementing new products, transitioning from old products to new, and will fix integrations and critical issues as they are raised – in fact, you'll seek them out to ensure our clients are safely supported. We fix and identify technical problems, with a pointed focus of providing the best customer support in the industry.

We're a fast-growing, immensely successful organization because of our people and products (built and supported by our people). We work the frontlines against cyberthreats and attacks, protecting everyday transactions in the digital environment. It means we're good at scaling quickly to new threats, get fulfillment from resolving new problems, and think about things just plain differently.
