Senior Security Solutions Architect

We are seeking a customer-facing Senior Security Solutions Architect to serve as a technical leader across our security practice. The role is heavily focused on pre-sales architecture and customer engagement, partnering with account teams from discovery through solution design, presentations, demonstrations, proof-of-concepts, proposals, and statements of work.
