- Hands-on Validation: Conduct hands-on validation of new features in lab and customer environments to ensure they solve real-world challenges before full-scale rollout.
- Field Readiness: Support the Sales Engineering and Professional Services organizations by validating field-facing content, including solution briefs, demos, and technical enablement materials.
- Trusted Advisor: Act as a technical consultant to key customers and partners, helping them navigate cloud architecture and integration questions.
Qualifications
Required:
- Experience: 10+ years of experience in Cloud Architecture, Sales Engineering, or Technical Product roles within a cybersecurity or enterprise software company.
- Technical Depth: Strong expertise in major cloud service providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and a deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, APIs, and identity services.

- Communication: Excellent skills in translating technical nuances into business value for both executive stakeholders and technical practitioners.
- Collaboration: Comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams in a fast-paced environment
Preferred:
