You will translate security and connectivity challenges—hybrid work, cloud adoption, Zero Trust—into vendor-backed designs and collaborate with partners. A hands-on, architecture-minded professional is needed.

Qualifications

• 4-7 years of experience in a pre-sales, solution architecture, or senior engineering role within cybersecurity or enterprise networking.
• Demonstrable hands-on experience with at least one major SASE/SSE platform in production or large-scale PoC settings.

• Present Nomios' SASE/SSE and IAM propositions to engineers and CISO-level audiences.
• Produce high-level and low-level designs for SASE/SSE rollouts including SWG, CASB, ZTNA, DLP, RBI, and FWaaS components.
• Design IAM integrations covering SSO, MFA, conditional access, and identity-driven policy in SASE platforms.
• Map designs to customer compliance drivers (NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA) without overstating coverage.
• Build and run PoCs on at least two SASE/SSE platforms; configure tenants, policies, connectors, and client agents.
• Define measurable PoC success criteria with the customer and document outcomes objectively.
• Maintain personal demo environments and stay current as vendor platforms evolve.
• Own the technical response to RFPs and tenders: architecture, BOM, assumptions, risks.
• Work with the bid team to ensure proposals are technically accurate, deliverable, and priced against a real design.
• Produce clear handover documentation for professional services and managed services teams at deal close.
• Feed field insights back to portfolio and vendor alliance teams; flag recurring gaps or new customer demands.
• Support account managers with account planning for named enterprise accounts.
