• Conduct hands‑on validation of features in lab and customer environments.
• Support Sales Engineering organization by validating field‑facing content: solution briefs, competitive positioning guides, demos, and technical enablement materials.
• Support pre‑sales engagements by articulating product value, performing deep technical walkthroughs, and addressing architectural and integration questions.
• Collaborate with product management to validate hypotheses, refine requirements, and ensure smooth handoffs from customer discovery to development.
• Act as a trusted advisor to key customers and channel partners on identity resilience and hybrid identity recovery best practices.

Required:

• 10+ years of experience in Sales Engineering, or Technical Marketing within a cybersecurity or enterprise software company.

• Proven ability to go hands‑on—perform demos, validate integrations, and troubleshoot POC environments.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills; able to translate technical concepts into business value for executive and technical audiences alike.
• Comfortable working cross‑functionally with engineering, product, and go‑to‑market teams in a fast‑paced environment.
