• Security posture assessment
• Policy validation
• Remediation recommendations
• Reporting and customer workflows
• Reproduce and troubleshoot customer-reported issues in lab or POC environments.
• Support Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Support, and Product teams with technical validation and troubleshooting.
• Design realistic test scenarios based on:
• NIST frameworks
• Common security and compliance requirements
• Validate the platform across different:
• Network sizes and scales
• Security configurations
• Hybrid and cloud environments
• Identify gaps between platform behavior and real-world customer requirements and provide clear, actionable feedback to Product and Engineering teams.

• Build and maintain demo/POC environments for technical validation.
• Document:
• Reference architectures
• Test results
• Known limitations
• Troubleshoot technical issues encountered during POCs and customer deployments.
• Stay updated on evolving network security architectures, customer environments, competitive security solutions, and industry practices.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of overall IT/networking experience.
• Strong hands-on expertise in Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking, including:
• VLANs
• Routing protocols
• ACLs
• NAT
• Firewalls
• Strong understanding of network security concepts, including:
• Security policy enforcement
• Common network misconfigurations
• Security posture management
• Experience working with multiple network vendors.
• Proven experience testing or validating solutions in customer-like environments, including:
• POCs
• Professional Services
• Solutions Engineering
• Sales Engineering
• Strong experience with scenario-based and end-to-end testing, with the ability to evaluate solutions from an actual customer's perspective.
• Ability to build, configure, and manage physical or virtual network lab environments representing real-world customer topologies.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with Sales, Customer Success, Support, Product, and Engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications such as:
