Summary: Seeking a Network Engineer specializing in Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) to support the deployment and operationalization of ZPA as part of a Zero Trust Network Access strategy. The role involves designing, implementing, and maintaining secure network connectivity for private applications, while transitioning from legacy VPN models to scalable access patterns. The position requires close collaboration with enterprise network and security teams to ensure operational sustainability and compliance. This is a hands-on role focused on enabling secure application access across the Commonwealth.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with Enterprise ZTNA network and security teams to design and support ZPA-based access to internal applications.
- Design, implement, and maintain Zscaler Private Access connectivity, including App Connectors, Server Groups, Application Segments, and access policy configurations.
- Analyze and assess legacy network and VPN-based access requirements and translate them into ZPA application-level access models.
- Support the onboarding of applications to ZPA by validating network paths, ports, protocols, and dependency requirements.
- Configure and support ZPA access policies that enforce least-privileged access.
- Troubleshoot ZPA-related access and connectivity issues.
- Participate in migration activities to transition users and applications from legacy access models to ZPA.
- Ensure ZPA configurations and access models are documented and aligned with security requirements.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, including configuration standards and operational runbooks.
- Engage with vendors and Zscaler support to resolve complex issues.
Key Skills:
- Strong background in enterprise networking, including routing, firewalling, DNS, and traffic flow analysis.
- Experience implementing and supporting secure application access technologies such as Zscaler Private Access.
- In-depth understanding of Zero Trust Network Access concepts.
- Ability to analyze complex, legacy network environments and translate them into scalable access models.
