At Julius Baer, we celebrate and value the individual qualities you bring, enabling you to be impactful, to be entrepreneurial, to be empowered, and to create value beyond wealth. Let’s shape the future of wealth management together.

We are seeking an experienced Remote Access Engineer (Citrix NetScaler & Zscaler
Private Access) to join our global security engineering team. As the ideal candidate, you
possess deep expertise in secure remote access technologies, strong authentication
and identity integration skills, and hands-on experience operating enterprise-grade
remote connectivity platforms within a regulated financial services environment. You
are comfortable working across infrastructure, security, endpoint, and identity
domains, ensuring that employees, contractors, and approved third parties can
securely access corporate resources.
Your primary responsibilities will involve architecting, operating, and continuously
improving the Bank’s Citrix NetScaler Gateway infrastructure, integrating and
maintaining multi-factor authentication solutions, enforcing secure access and
conditional access policies, and ensuring the resilience, security, and compliance of the
Bank’s remote access services.
In addition, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and operationalisation of
the Bank’s future Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) platform and support the evolution of the
remote access landscape towards a modern Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
architecture. Working closely with IAM, Endpoint Management, Security Operations,
and Global IT teams, you will help deliver secure, reliable, and scalable remote
connectivity aligned with regulatory requirements and the Bank’s strategic security
roadmap.
Beyond the remote access domain, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to
and gain hands-on experience with other security services managed by the team,
including Internet Proxy, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Privileged Access
Management (PAM), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Secure Mail Gateway solutions.
This provides an excellent opportunity for candidates looking to broaden their
expertise across multiple security domains and further develop their security
engineering career within a collaborative and highly skilled team.
