Job summary

Cisco Systems, Inc. is seeking a Solutions Engineer for SLED who will partner with an Account Executive to co-own a territory and translate technical complexity into business value for state, local government, and education customers in Colorado.

This remote-based role requires Denver-area residency with travel to customer sites; you will lead discovery sessions, deliver demos, and help modernize networks and security across public sector deployments.

Qualifications

5+ years of experience as a pre-sales Solutions Engineer or similar technical, customer-facing role.
CCNP Enterprise-level experience or equivalent, with the ability to achieve CCNP Enterprise certification within 12 months of joining Cisco.
Hands-on experience with Cisco technologies, including Networking, Security/Firewalls, Data Center Switching, Observability, and Collaboration.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field — or a minimum of 4 years of documented equivalent practical experience.
Excellent presentation skills and the ability to travel to customer locations for meetings and presentations.

Responsibilities

Territory Co-Ownership Partner closely with your Account Executive to jointly plan, strategize, and execute account growth across your assigned SLED territory.
Technical Leadership Across the Portfolio Serve as the go-to technical expert across Networking, Security (including Firewalls), Data Center Switching, Observability, and Collaboration — bringing depth where it matters and breadth where it counts.
Customer-Facing Execution Lead and deliver high-impact discovery sessions, technical presentations, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept engagements that move opportunities forward.
Efficiency Through Modern Tools Use AI-driven tools and workflows to work smarter — streamlining your own technical discovery and demo-building process while helping customers identify similar opportunities for efficiency in their own environments.
Executive & Stakeholder Engagement Build trust and credibility with stakeholders at every level — from front-line IT staff to superintendents, CIOs, and agency directors.
Community & Event Engagement Represent Cisco at Tech Days, Executive Briefings, and other regional events that connect us with the public sector community we serve.
Cross-Functional Collaboration Work hand-in-hand with regional teams, architecture specialists, and channel partners to deliver complete, well-rounded solutions.
