Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card follow-through: 93%

Of 76 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 5 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 491 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

266 transfer filings in the last year, covering 1222 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Running a branch network day to day is still too manual.
  • Keeping devices patched and secure takes the same kind of effort.

Responsibilities

  • Talk to network admins, security teams, MSPs, and support engineers to learn how branch problems are found and fixed today, and where it goes wrong.
  • Write clear PRDs and user stories. Spell out what each agent does, what data it uses, when it acts on its own, and when it asks a person for approval.
  • Track whether it's working: accuracy, time to fix issues, tickets avoided, upgrade success, and adoption. Use the results to decide what to build next.
  • Make the product work for partners and MSPs, including multi-tenant management, delegated access, and a business model they can resell.
  • Build sales and partner enablement: demos, playbooks, competitive comparisons, and training.
  • Work closely with engineering, AI/ML, design, support, sales, marketing, and channel teams, and with other product teams across NGFW, SASE, and SD-WAN.
  • Palo Alto Networks is hiring a Product Manager to build AI agents that handle day-to-day branch operations: finding and fixing network problems, checking security posture, and recommending software upgrades.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of product management experience in networking, network security, or IT infrastructure.
  • You can work through a network problem from the physical layer up to the application.
  • You can explain technical ideas to engineers, executives, and sales teams.
  • You work well with others, take ownership, and are comfortable when the plan isn't fully defined yet.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • If you're ready to do the most meaningful work of your career alongside people who are just as passionate as you are, you're in the right place.
  • If you are passionate about solving real-world problems and ideating beside the best and the brightest, we invite you to join us!
  • What We're Looking For
  • A track record of shipping management, monitoring, or troubleshooting products. SaaS experience preferred.
  • Experience building products that use AI, machine learning, or large language models.
  • Experience with AI agents is a strong plus.
  • Strong networking basics: TCP/IP, routing, DNS, DHCP, VLANs. You can work through a network problem from the physical layer up to the application.
  • Good understanding of branch security: firewalls, SASE, SD-WAN, and identity-based access.
  • Experience building product strategy end to end: market sizing, positioning, pricing, and business cases.
  • Experience taking products to market through direct enterprise sales and through partners such as resellers, MSPs, and MSSPs.
  • You write your own specs and build your own prototypes.
  • Clear writing and speaking. You can explain technical ideas to engineers, executives, and sales teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience with wired switching (Spanning Tree, PoE, 802.1X, network segmentation) or enterprise Wi-Fi (RF design, roaming, client onboarding, RADIUS).
  • Experience with cloud-managed networking or AIOps products.
  • Familiarity with how AI agents are built: retrieval, tool calling, multi-agent setups, and evaluation.
  • Certifications such as CCNP, CCIE, CWNA, or PCNSE.
  • Master's degree or MBA.
  • Some travel for customer meetings and industry events.
  • Compensation Disclosure
  • $176,800.00 - $286,000.00/yr

Skills

  • When something breaks, IT teams jump between tools, read logs, and run commands one at a time to find the cause.

Compensation

  • The compensation offered for this position will depend on qualifications, experience, and work location.
  • For candidates who receive an offer at the posted level, the starting base salary (for non-sales roles) or base salary + commission target (for sales/com-missioned roles) is expected to be the annual range listed below.

  • $176,800.00 - $286,000.00/yr
