  • Partner with account managers to qualify opportunities and align technical capabilities with customer business outcomes.
  • Lead discovery sessions and workshops to identify operational and architectural requirements in complex environments.
  • Design and present secure architectures incorporating networking, cloud, and SecOps components.
  • Deliver technical demonstrations and presentations to executive decision-makers like CISOs and CIOs.

What we're looking for

  • 5–8 years of experience in pre-sales or systems engineering within enterprise-scale cybersecurity, networking, or cloud environments.
  • Strong understanding of networking (LAN/WAN, routing, switching, VPNs, TCP/IP) and core security protocols (IPSec, TLS/SSL, PKI, SAML, OAuth, RADIUS).
  • Ability to design solutions for SecOps modernization, Zero Trust, SASE, cloud/hybrid security, and identity and access management.
  • Excellent presentation, communication, and storytelling skills to engage both technical audiences and executive decision-makers.
  • Proven track record of leading architectural discussions and aligning technical solutions with business priorities at the enterprise level.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
  • Industry certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or vendor-specific credentials like NSE, CCNP Security, or AWS Security Specialty are preferred.
