- Design tailored solutions — Architect customized approaches that directly address each customer's unique security and compliance challenges.
- Collaborate cross-functionally — Partner closely with Product, Business Development, and Customer Success teams to ensure seamless solution delivery and an outstanding customer experience.
- Stay ahead of the industry — Continuously monitor market trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies to keep Thales’s solutions positioned at the cutting edge.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience with WAF, Bot Management, or DDoS solutions.
- Strong communication and presentation skills in both English (B2+) and Spanish.
- Practical experience with cloud and containerization platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and Docker.
