Job Summary
Your Career
With Prisma AIRS, Palo Alto Networks is building the world's most comprehensive AI security platform. Organizations are increasingly building complex ecosystems of AI models, applications, and agents, creating dynamic new attack surfaces with risks that traditional security approaches cannot address. In response, Prisma AIRS delivers model security, posture management, AI red teaming, and runtime protection. Our customers can confidently deploy AI-driven innovation while ensuring a formidable security posture from development through runtime.
The Platform Infrastructure team is the engine behind this mission. We provide the foundational cloud infrastructure and a smooth interface that abstracts away the complexities of global networking and infosec for our product teams. We are seeking a Principal Infrastructure / Security Engineer to own the intersection of platform infrastructure and product security.
In this hybrid role, you will lead the "shift-left" security strategy, building internal platform tools that allow our engineers to ship secure-by-default software. You will be the primary technical interface between the AIRS organization and central infosec.
This role is in office 3 days a week. Specify your preference of our downtown Seattle Washington office or our Santa Clara, California HQ campus.
Our Stack
Our platform is built on a modern, cloud-native foundation centered around Kubernetes. We value deep expertise in a few core areas and a strong desire to master the technologies that drive our platform forward.
Cloud & Orchestration
- GCP (primary), Kubernetes, AWS, Containerization tools
CI/CD & GitOps
- GitLab CI, Argo CD, Argo Rollouts, Github actions
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- Kubernetes Config Connector (KCC), Helm, Terraform
Languages & Core Tooling
- Python (modern, typed), Go (highly desired), BASH, rego
- We actively leverage AI Coding Assistants like Claude to boost our productivity.
Your Impact
As a Principal Engineer, you will be a technical leader whose influence defines how we secure and ship software at scale.
- Build the "Security Paved Road": Act as a force multiplier by integrating security tooling directly into our internal developer platform and CI/CD pipelines.
- Abstract Infosec Complexity: Serve as the strategic point of contact for central Infosec, translating their requirements into automated infrastructure patterns so product teams don't have to.
- Govern Release Integrity: Define and enforce security standards for Prisma AIRS, ensuring every new feature meets launch requirements and compliance standards before reaching customers.
- Scale Foundational Infra: Work with the infrastructure team to embed security and permissions management into our core GCP and Kubernetes foundations.
Qualifications
What you bring to the team
We are looking for a seasoned engineer who thrives on solving complex problems from first principles and has a passion for building systems that empower others.
Required qualifications
- Engineering Fundamentals: A deep command of cloud infrastructure, networking, and application performance.
- Security Expertise: Extensive experience in vulnerability management, identity management (IAM), and integrating security tools into modern engineering workflows.
- Cloud & Orchestration: Proficient with GCP and Kubernetes. While you don't need to be a K8s internals expert, you must be comfortable deploying and securing workloads in containerized environments.
- Infrastructure as Code: Hands-on experience with Terraform, Helm, or Kubernetes Config Connector (KCC).
- Coding Proficiency: Fluent in building automation and platform tooling using modern, typed Python. Experience with Go is a significant plus.
- Leadership & Collaboration: Capable of working with multiple stakeholders, navigating large organizations, and acting as a central point of collaboration and execution.
- An Innate Sense of Ownership and a Collaborative Spirit: You are a highly technical, self-motivated contributor who sees projects through from idea to production.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Staff Devops Engineer
Verify your degree maps to DevOps
A computer science or software engineering degree supports E-3 specialty occupation status cleanly. If your degree is in a different field, document how your coursework and certifications like AWS or Kubernetes directly underpin the staff-level DevOps role you're applying for.
Target employers with active LCA filings
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway for recent Labor Condition Application filings under SOC code 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) or 15-1299 to identify companies already experienced with the E-3 process and willing to sponsor Australian engineers.
Position staff-level scope in your resume
Staff DevOps roles require demonstrated ownership of infrastructure at scale, not just execution. Frame your resume around platform decisions, cross-team technical leadership, and systems you designed, since consular officers assess whether the role genuinely requires a degree-level specialist.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This matters most when your employer's HR team lacks E-3 experience, since errors on the LCA can delay your consulate appointment by weeks.
Prepare for specialty occupation questions at interview
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth consular officers occasionally probe whether a staff DevOps role genuinely requires a degree. Bring your offer letter, job description, and any evidence of degree-level responsibilities like architecture diagrams or technical specifications you've authored.

Find Staff Devops Engineer JobsStaff Devops Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Staff DevOps Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals seeking U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. It surfaces Staff DevOps Engineer positions at employers already familiar with the E-3 process, saving you the time of filtering out companies that only know the H-1B lottery pathway. Search by role, location, and sponsorship status directly on the platform.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Staff DevOps Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a closely related field. Staff-level DevOps roles typically meet this threshold because they demand architectural judgment and system design expertise that goes beyond what non-degree practitioners can demonstrate. If the job description lists a degree as preferred rather than required, that distinction can create problems at the consulate, so push the employer to use mandatory language.
How does the E-3 visa compare to H-1B for Staff DevOps Engineer roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply any time of year and start work as soon as your visa is issued. H-1B registration closes in March with results in April, meaning you could wait over a year before starting. For staff-level DevOps roles, which often require an immediate start or a short transition window, the E-3's on-demand availability is a practical advantage that H-1B simply can't match.
Can I change DevOps employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you need a new LCA filed by the new employer and a new E-3 visa stamp before you can start working there, unless you're changing status inside the U.S. through USCIS. The LCA process typically takes seven business days with the DOL. Plan for a gap between roles if your current visa is tied to your existing employer, since E-3 status is employer-specific and doesn't transfer automatically.
