* Maintain accurate documentation of configurations, workflows, and procedures
Required Skills & Experience
* 3+ years working with Palo Alto Networks solutions (XSOAR, XSIAM, Cortex XDR)
* Ideally experience implementing and managing XSIAM in real-world environments but will consider strong XSOAR Consultants who want to evolve into XSIAM.

* Proficient in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, PowerShell)
* Solid experience with log analysis, event correlation, and alert tuning

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on the biggest XSIAM project in the UK working with cutting edge technology. My client are happy to help train on certain parts of the XSIAM product suite if you have proven XSOAR / XDR background.
