Revolutionizing protection.

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.

Our Approach to Work

FLEXWORK is an employee-centric reimagining of how we work. We built FLEXWORK based on employee feedback – it is about flexibility, trust, and choice whenever possible. It’s been a journey of disruption that has yielded the best of our values. We offer as much flexibility as possible and choices that enable you to be most productive, including benefits that meet your needs and learning opportunities that you feel passionate about.

Your Career

The Global Customer Operation Team is responsible for building products that protect data, workloads, and infrastructure for some of the largest enterprise customers in the world. We help our customers in their journey to the public cloud by ensuring they have the best-in-class protection. The public cloud market has been growing at a very rapid rate for the last few years. As more and more enterprises leverage the public cloud, there is an insatiable demand for securing workloads in the public cloud. With the recent acquisition of two leading companies in this space - RedLock and Evident.io, Palo Alto Networks is the market leader in this space.

We expect office-based employees to be in the office four days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details, and things could change …. but in general, if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.
