• Help build and refine sales collateral, demo environments and PoV frameworks
• Stay up to date on industry trends, competitive solutions and emerging threats

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer or related customer-facing technical role in cybersecurity or SaaS
• Solid understanding of common technologies and practices (e.g., endpoint security, cloud security, networking, SaaS solutions)
• Knowledge of data security, legacy DLP solutions and the DLP market
• Ability to write and modify basic scripts. Preferred languages are PowerShell, Python and Bash
• Experience with virtualization/VDI technologies
