• Five or more years designing, deploying, and managing ZPA, including application segment configuration, access policies, connectors, and zero trust architectures replacing legacy VPNs.
• One or more years of experience with Zscaler Branch Connector, including BGP or static routing, network segmentation, and replacing traditional SD-WAN platforms.
• One or more years designing, deploying, and managing Zscaler Cloud Connector in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP) with workload to internet and workload to workload traffic inspection, integrated with cloud networking constructs.
• Three or more years configuring and tuning advanced Zscaler security features such as Cloud Sandboxing, ATP, IPS, CBI, and DLP policies.
• Three or more years implementing and troubleshooting SSL/TLS inspection within ZIA, including certificate management, decryption policy design, bypass rules, and handling certificate pinned applications.
• One or more years of experience leveraging Zscaler AI powered capabilities, including AI driven policy recommendations, Digital Experience Monitoring (ZDX), and AI/ML based threat intelligence for automated responses.
• Three or more years defining, managing, and reviewing Zscaler security policies, including rule base optimization, policy lifecycle, access reviews, and RBAC within the Admin Portal.
• Experience implementing ZIdentity for centralized identity management.
• Three or more years with one or more major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) to deploy ZPA App Connectors in cloud native architectures.
• Three or more years deploying Zscaler Cloud Connector.
• Experience integrating Zscaler with SIEM or SOAR platforms (e.g., Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Palo Alto XSOAR) via log streaming, API connectors, or syslog for threat detection and incident response.
• Experience with Zscaler APIs and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Python) for provisioning, policy management, and infrastructure as code workflows.
• Experience designing and presenting Zscaler solution architectures tailored to client requirements for executive and non-technical stakeholders.
• Familiarity with identity provider integrations (Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity) for SAML/SCIM based authentication in ZIA and ZPA deployments.
• Ability to travel up to 50 percent on average based on client engagements.
