Associate Security Engineer, Presales & Deployment  

• Pre-sales support: assist senior engineers in scoping conversations, technical demos, and proof-of-concept exercises with prospective customers
• Solution design assistance: help draft architecture diagrams, configuration designs, and statements of work under senior architect guidance
• Deployments: lead and co-lead tenant build-outs, integrations, and migrations across our partner stack (EDR, SASE, IAM, WAF, SIEM, ITDR, NDR, EASM)
• Configuration and hardening: apply our standard baselines, customize for customer requirements, document the result
• Customer enablement: run training and knowledge-transfer sessions for customer admins post-deployment
• Runbook authorship: every deployment improves the next one — you'll write and update reference configurations, runbooks, and change logs
• Escalation coordination: work with vendor SE/TAM teams when issues need OEM-level support

• 1–3 years of hands-on work in a security tools role — could be a customer admin, a partner/SI engineer, or another vendor's deployment team
• Hands-on exposure to at least one of these domains (one is enough — we'll build out the rest):
  • Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR / XDR)
  • SASE / SWG / Secure Web Gateway / CASB
  • Identity & Access Management / SSO / MFA
  • Web Application Firewall, CDN, DDoS protection
  • SIEM, log management, detection engineering
  • Vulnerability management / EASM
  • Active Directory security / ITDR
  • Network Detection & Response
• Solid networking and OS fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, Windows/Linux/macOS basics
• Customer-facing comfort: you can stand in front of a client room and explain what you're doing without panicking
• Documentation discipline: you write down what you did and why, because the next engineer is going to inherit it

Nice to have (not required)

• Any vendor certification at associate/professional level: CrowdStrike CCFA, Netskope NCSP, Okta Professional, Akamai WSA, Google SecOps Practitioner, Microsoft SC-200, Fortinet NSE 4, Splunk Power User, etc.

• Cloud platform familiarity — GCP, AWS, or Azure

• Scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash

• API and IaC exposure (Postman, Terraform, Ansible)

• Experience presenting to non-technical stakeholders
