AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation.
 
At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard. We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD. 
 
We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived. 
 
We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD. 

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.
