At Check Point, what you do matters. Every day, we protect over 100,000 organizations worldwide from increasingly sophisticated cyber and AI‑driven threats, securing their AI transformation.

Our prevention‑first approach safeguards hybrid networks, cloud environments, digital work spaces, and AI systems, stopping attacks before they happen.

This is where innovation meets real‑world impact. You’ll help customers across industries operate with confidence in a rapidly changing digital world, working alongside smart, curious people who take ownership, challenge assumptions, and solve complex problems.

We’re proud to be recognized by TIME, Newsweek, and Forbes for excellence and workplace culture.

What really sets Check Point apart is the opportunity to grow, contribute, and help companies navigate their AI transformation securely.

If you’re excited to work at the forefront of AI‑driven security on a global scale, this is the place to do it.

We are seeking a hands‑on Senior Pre‑Sales Solutions Architect to join our Americas Solution Architecture team, with a primary focus on leading proofs of value (POVs) and proofs of concept (POCs) for next‑generation firewall (NGFW), hyperscale security, and AI security solutions. Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro and supporting customers across the Americas, this role pairs deep technical expertise with strong customer‑facing skills to drive high‑impact pre‑sales engagements that convert to design wins and revenue.

The ideal candidate brings deep operational expertise with Check Point Maestro hyperscale orchestration, multi‑vendor NGFW exposure, modern data center fabric design, SASE/SD‑WAN edge architectures, and advanced threat prevention. They should also be conversant in DPU‑accelerated security on Nvidia Blue Field at 100/400 GbE line rates, and bring working knowledge of AI‑SPM, LLM/GenAI security, RAG pipeline protection, MCP‑based agentic workflows, and AI data center and Industry 4.0 / smart factory reference architectures.

• Own the end‑to‑end POV / POC lifecycle across the Americas — qualification, scoping, success criteria definition, lab and on‑site build, test plan execution, results analysis, executive readouts, and handoff to post‑sales.
• Partner with account teams (Account Executives, SEs, Channel Managers) as the lead technical authority on NGFW, Maestro, and AI security opportunities; translate customer business requirements into winning technical solutions.
• Architect, demonstrate, and validate NGFW platforms across on‑prem, colo, hybrid cloud, and AI factory environments, with a focus on high availability, elastic scale, low‑latency throughput, and Zero Trust segmentation.
• Design and demonstrate Check Point Maestro hyperscale deployments, including multi‑stack scaling, multi‑MHO orchestration, security group design, and seamless inter‑site / inter‑DC interconnect.
• Engineer reference designs and POC topologies for the underlying data center fabric required to support Maestro orchestration, micro‑segmentation, and east/west inspection at scale across leaf/spine and EVPN‑VXLAN topologies.
• Demonstrate and validate Nvidia Blue Field DPU integrations at 100 GbE (and emerging 400 GbE) for accelerated security services, including DOCA familiarity, host onboarding, and performance benchmarking.
• Architect and showcase security for AI factories and AI‑ready data centers, including GPU cluster east/west protection, secure multi‑tenant model training and inference fabrics, and high‑throughput inspection points across RoCEv2 / Infini Band‑adjacent networks.
• Lead AI security POVs across the GenAI stack — securing RAG pipelines (vector DB access, embedding integrity, data poisoning, prompt‑injection defense), MCP servers and agentic tool‑use workflows, model and inference endpoints, and shadow‑AI discovery — aligned to OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST AI RMF.
• Position and demonstrate AI‑SPM (AI Security Posture Management), DLP, and CASB‑style controls to govern enterprise GenAI usage…
