Job description
Frontier models can now execute multistage attacks end to end, collapsing the window defenders have between initial access and encryption and narrowing what âprotectedâ means to a short, defensible list: true immutability, a vault outside the production identity domain, genuine air-gap, and a tested recovery path. Thatâs an architecture problem, and itâs the one youâre hired to solve on these founding seats on a new Security specialist team. Paired one-to-one with a Sr. Security Sales Specialist, you own the technical win - architecture, demos, POCs, and the credibility to hold a technical room - while the Sales Specialist owns the commercial relationship and the number. You bring enough depth to design and defend a ransomware-recovery, immutability, or identity-resilience architecture under technical scrutiny, and enough range to translate it into a business case an executive buys. This is a pre-sales, solution-architecture, and consultative role, not a hands-on production-engineering seat. HOW YOUâLL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE:
- Own the technical win in every Security deal you support - discovery, solution design, demos, and proof of value - partnered with the Security Sales Specialist who owns the commercial close.
- Be the security architecture SME in the room on ransomware-recovery design, immutable/air-gapped vaulting, identity resilience, and DSPM - credible with a CISO, VP of Security, or their architects.
- Architect reference architectures and lead technical workshops, POCs, and pilots that validate ransomware-recovery and identity-resilience use cases across regulated industries.
- Build executive-quality technical narratives - solution briefs, architecture diagrams, and business cases specific to the account.
- Know your accountsâ technology footprint, and work the security partner ecosystem on joint solutions and technical co-sell.
- Feed the field back into the roadmap, and support disciplined deal hygiene - accurate technical qualification and honest POC exit criteria., * Technical win rate on the deals you support, and influenced revenue and pipeline progression across your territory.
- Quality and reuse of the assets you produce, and the services / multi-phase attach they help generate.
- Field collaboration with your paired Security Sales Specialist, and partner co-sell results.
- Technical qualification quality and POC / forecast reliability., Solution Architect The Opportunity: As an infrastructure solutions architect, you know how to create a on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-based technical architecture that meets cliâŚ
- 4 days ago
Requirements
- A minimum of 5 years of pre-sales engineering and architecture experience in security.
- Hands-on experience designing or deploying ransomware-recovery architectures, immutable/air-gapped backup solutions, or identity-resilience (AD/Entra ID recovery) systems, with a strong infrastructure background (backup/recovery, storage, hybrid-cloud).
- Working knowledge of Active Directory / Entra ID architecture and core security concepts - ransomware kill chains, immutability, air-gapping, zero trust - plus scripting/API proficiency (Python, PowerShell) for demos and POCs.
- Excellent communication skills - able to simplify complex concepts for technical and executive audiences - and comfort operating in a co-sell / specialist model.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.
- Professional English language proficiency for customer and internal communication.
- The ability to travel as required
WE ARE EXTRA EXCITED IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Prior specialist or overlay SE/SA experience at a data infrastructure, backup, or cybersecurity vendor, including validating ransomware-recovery or identity-resilience use cases in regulated industries.
