## Description

The Senior Solution Architect is the critical link between Barracuda's cybersecurity technology and the customers and partners who depend on it. In this role, you will work directly with customers and partners to understand their security requirements, recommend the most appropriate solution, and support the technical sales motion through demonstrations, workshops, and proof-of-concept activities. While the primary focus is on network security and email security, you may also support other Barracuda security solutions including data protection, XDR and application security.

What you'll be working on

 * Translate requirements into architectures: Team with customers, partners and sales to understand security requirements and the current environment, design and recommend the Barracuda solution architecture.
 * Support the sales motion: Support opportunities through solution validation by delivering demos, leading workshops, and running proof-of-concept activities that map Barracuda capabilities to customer outcomes.
 * Be a trusted technical advisor: Work alongside Barracuda Sales and Channel partners to qualify opportunities, validate solution fit, and position Barracuda effectively-helping teams address technical objections and competitive questions.
 * Represent Barracuda and share field insights: Engage in customer and partner sessions, webinars, and forums, and bring back learnings on objections, deployment patterns, and competitive dynamics to improve messaging and enablement.
