Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Cortex Platform Engineer with deep expertise in Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex ecosystem. Cortex XDR is the primary focus of this role — you will own its deployment, configuration, detection engineering, and day-to-day operations — but you will also bring working knowledge across Cortex XSOAR, XSIAM, Cortex Cloud, and Prisma Access to support a maturing, integrated security operations environment.


This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the intersection of endpoint security, SOC automation, cloud security posture, and secure network access. You will partner closely with SOC analysts, security architects, and cloud engineering teams to drive platform adoption, improve detection coverage, and accelerate response across the full Cortex stack.
