Job Summary

Palo Alto Networks is at the forefront of cloud-native infrastructure, where reliability, scale, and intelligent automation define the future of operations. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will design and operate the platforms that power our applications across GCP, AWS, and global data centers — and you'll push the boundary of what's possible by leveraging AI and machine learning to transform how we approach SRE/DevOps.

This isn't just about keeping the lights on. You'll build intelligent systems that predict incidents before they happen, automate root cause analysis, and continuously optimize our infrastructure. You'll be a critical bridge between engineering and our Infrastructure Platform, combining deep SRE/DevOps expertise with AI-driven automation to deliver unprecedented levels of reliability and operational efficiency.

If you're excited about applying AI to real-world infrastructure challenges — and you thrive in an environment where automation isn't just a nice-to-have but a core philosophy — this is your next career.

Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure that enables reliable, rapid deployment of microservices with resilient operations and effective monitoring

Leverage AI/ML to automate incident detection, root cause analysis, and remediation — reducing toil and accelerating mean time to resolution

Build and integrate AI-powered tools (e.g., LLM-based agents, AIOps platforms) into SRE workflows for intelligent alerting, log analysis, and capacity planning

Write automation code for provisioning and operating infrastructure at massive scale

Develop self-healing systems that can automatically detect anomalies, diagnose issues, and take corrective action with minimal human intervention

Work with development teams to ensure applications are production-ready, scalable, and reliable from the ground up

Identify and drive opportunities to improve automation for code deployment, management, and observability of application services

Establish end-to-end monitoring and alerting on all critical components, incorporating AI-driven anomaly detection and predictive analytics

Participate in the on-call rotation supporting the platform and production applications

Lead root cause analysis of critical business and production issues, building runbooks and automation to prevent recurrence

Mentor other SRE/DevOps on best practices in infrastructure orchestration, production troubleshooting, and AI-augmented operations

Represent SRE/DevOps in design reviews and work cross-functionally with engineering teams on operational readiness

We're not your ordinary Infrastructure team. We're a diverse group of engineers who challenge the status quo to build platforms that protect Palo Alto Networks and our customers at global scale. Driving innovation on the SRE/DevOps team of the fastest-growing cybersecurity company is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You'll be joined by the brightest minds in technology, and you'll have the freedom to push the boundaries of what AI can do for reliability engineering.
