• Customer Collaboration and Support - maintain continuous communication with customers, keeping them informed of potential security issues and shifts in the threat landscape
• Partner Collaboration - work with technology and ecosystem partners on joint integrations and solutions that support customer environments
• Training and Enablement - deliver security training and enablement sessions to client teams, from technical staff to non-technical stakeholders
• Sales Support - support Sales on professional services scoping, proposals, and technical positioning
• Implementation and Configuration - configure and customize the Hypernative platform for each customer's environment, including custom rules, integrations, and Python scripting, and provide hands-on support to ensure security practices integrate cleanly with existing workflows

Requirements

• In-depth understanding of Web3 technologies, decentralized systems, and blockchain security concepts
• Advanced understanding of cybersecurity principles, best practices, and industry standards as they apply to digital assets and blockchain technologies
