The opportunity
In a rapidly changing technology, data, privacy, and cybersecurity landscape, clients across industries look to us for trusted guidance on designing secure, resilient, and well-governed zero trust environments. As a Manager within the Data Protection and Privacy team, you will serve as a Zscaler Architect and engagement leader with broad expertise across secure access service edge, zero trust network access, secure internet access, cloud and branch security, digital experience, and data protection. Zscaler experience is required, and the role is intended for an overall architect who can connect the Zscaler platform with identity, endpoint, network, cloud, security operations, data governance, and relevant third-party technologies.
The Manager is expected to own end-to-end solution architecture for defined engagements, establish cross-platform design direction, manage multidisciplinary delivery teams, oversee quality and financial performance, develop trusted client relationships, and contribute to business development. You will help clients translate business, security, privacy, legal, regulatory, and technology requirements into integrated zero trust strategies, target-state architectures, roadmaps, governance models, and implementation programs.
Your key responsibilities
As a Manager on the Data Protection and Privacy team, your key responsibilities would include:
- Lead Zscaler security and data protection engagements from discovery and solution shaping through architecture, implementation oversight, testing, deployment, operational transition, and benefits realization.
- Own end-to-end solution architecture across the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, including Zscaler Internet Access, Zscaler Private Access, Zscaler Digital Experience, Zscaler Client Connector, cloud security, branch security, workload security, and related data protection capabilities.
- Design secure internet and SaaS access architectures, including secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, cloud firewall, sandboxing, SSL inspection, browser isolation, advanced threat protection, and policy enforcement patterns.
- Design zero trust private application access architectures, including application segmentation, access policies, App Connector placement, private service edge considerations, third-party access, privileged remote access, and migration from legacy VPN approaches.
- Incorporate data protection capabilities into broader zero trust architectures, including data discovery, classification, cloud DLP, SaaS security, inline inspection, policy design, incident workflows, and control integration.
- Develop integrated zero trust, secure access, data protection, cloud, branch, workload, identity, endpoint, and digital experience strategies aligned with business objectives and regulatory obligations.
- Lead enterprise security assessments, architecture reviews, maturity assessments, control gap analyses, roadmaps, target operating models, governance frameworks, and transformation programs.
- Facilitate executive and working-level workshops across security, privacy, legal, compliance, network, infrastructure, cloud, identity, endpoint, application, data governance, security operations, audit, and business stakeholders.
- Translate requirements into target-state architectures, traffic-flow designs, policy models, integration requirements, migration waves, implementation plans, testing approaches, operational procedures, and measurable outcomes.
- Establish architecture principles, reference patterns, configuration standards, decision records, integration requirements, and quality criteria for Zscaler-based enterprise solutions.
- Design and oversee integrations with identity providers, endpoint and device management platforms, SIEM and SOAR technologies, IT service management tools, network infrastructure, cloud platforms, data security tools, and other third-party controls.
- Manage engagement scope, workplans, staffing, budgets, risks, dependencies, quality reviews, executive reporting, and coordination with client and firm leadership.
- Provide architecture direction and coaching to Senior and junior resources, review technical deliverables, resolve cross-platform design issues, and escalate material risks when appropriate.
- Build trusted client relationships, identify opportunities to extend value, support proposals and statements of work, contribute to solution pricing and estimation, and participate in account development.
- Develop reusable architecture methods, reference designs, accelerators, points of view, and thought leadership while maintaining awareness of Zscaler platform developments and emerging zero trust, cloud, data, and AI security risks.

- Ability to manage the creation, review, and delivery of high-quality strategies, roadmaps, architectures, operating models, reports, presentations, and implementation guidance.
- Strong project and program management discipline, including scope, staffing, financial management, quality, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations.
- Ability to lead culturally diverse, cross-functional, and geographically dispersed teams and mentor professionals at multiple levels.
- Commercial awareness and the ability to support opportunity qualification, solution shaping, estimation, proposal development, and client presentations.
- Commitment to service quality, professional integrity, collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

- Experience developing policy and architecture for secure web gateway, zero trust network access, cloud access security broker, cloud firewall, SSL inspection, threat protection, application segmentation, and data loss prevention use cases.
- Experience leading requirements, architecture, design, integration, configuration oversight, testing, migration, deployment, and operating model activities for enterprise Zscaler solutions.

- Experience with architecture methods and deliverables such as capability models, current- and target-state diagrams, traffic-flow diagrams, reference architectures, control mappings, design decision records, migration roadmaps, and transition architectures.
- Strong PowerPoint and architecture diagramming skills, including the ability to communicate complex cross-platform concepts to executive, business, and technical audiences.

Search Software Consultant Jobs in WashingtonSoftware Consultant Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for software consultants in Washington?
Microsoft, Amazon, and Accenture are among the most active sponsors for software consultant roles in Washington, with large consulting and technology operations concentrated in the Seattle metro. Firms like Infosys, Wipro, and Cognizant also file significant numbers of H-1B visa petitions for consulting positions in the state. Enterprise software companies and mid-size consulting practices in Bellevue and Redmond round out the market.
Which visa types are most common for software consultant roles in Washington?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for software consultants in Washington, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field. L-1B visas apply when a consultant transfers intracompany with specialized knowledge. Some candidates from Australia may pursue the E-3 visa, and Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under TN visa status with appropriate documentation.
Which cities in Washington have the most software consultant sponsorship jobs?
Seattle and Bellevue account for the largest share of software consultant sponsorship jobs in Washington, anchored by Amazon and Microsoft's headquarters and the broader ecosystem of consulting firms that serve them. Redmond is notable specifically for Microsoft-aligned roles. Kirkland and Olympia see smaller but consistent demand, particularly from state government IT contractors and mid-size technology firms with regional offices.
How to find software consultant visa sponsorship jobs in Washington?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international candidates searching for visa sponsorship jobs, including software consultant roles in Washington. You can filter by state and job category to surface employers with active sponsorship history. This is more targeted than general job searches because listings are curated for candidates who need sponsorship, saving significant time when the Seattle and Bellevue markets move quickly.
Are there state-specific considerations for software consultant sponsorship in Washington?
Washington has no state income tax, which affects prevailing wage comparisons when the Department of Labor evaluates H-1B Labor Condition Applications. The University of Washington and Washington State University produce a steady pipeline of international graduates who pursue software consulting roles locally, making the candidate pool competitive. Employers in Washington also frequently work with third-party staffing arrangements, which can affect how sponsorship is structured and who acts as the petitioning employer.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored software consultant jobs in Washington?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
