## Job description

## Your Impact

Join a small team building the next generation of Cyber Security products from the ground up. Led by industry veterans with a proven track record of success, you will play a critical role in bridging engineering, product management, and field teams. As a Technical Marketing Engineer, you will architect hands-on lab environments, showcase product value through technical content, and serve as a deep technical liaison between Product Management and the market. You will have the opportunity to grow your career, technical domain expertise, and cross-functional impact from the very start.

## Role Overview

You will own the technical validation, field enablement, and hands-on technical narrative for our next-generation cybersecurity platform. In this role, you'll build production-grade lab and demo environments that translate complex platform capabilities into compelling proofs of value. You will sit at the intersection of product development and go-to-market execution—crafting deep technical content, training internal field teams, and working alongside Product Management to evaluate real-world use cases. The ideal candidate combines hands-on technical/lab-building expertise with strong communication skills and a passion for simplifying complex cybersecurity workflows.

## Key Responsibilities

- Lab & Demo Infrastructure: Architect, build, and maintain automated, production-grade lab and demo environments to showcase key platform features, user workflows, and enterprise integrations.
- Customer-Facing Content: Create high-impact technical collateral, including architecture blueprints, technical white papers, demo videos, solution briefs, competitive tear-downs, and integration guides.
- Internal Field Enablement: Develop and deliver technical training programs, lab exercises, and enablement sessions for Sales Engineers, Customer Success teams, and field partners.
- PM Technical Advisory: Partner closely with Product Managers to provide deep technical inputs, conduct hands-on testing of early-stage features, validate edge cases, and help inform the product roadmap.
- Technical Evangelism: Support technical buyer meetings, present architecture deep-dives, and showcase live product demos at industry events, webinars, and customer briefings.

Required Experience

- 5+ years of experience as a Technical Marketing Engineer (TME), Solutions Engineer, Systems Engineer, or Technical Sales Engineer within the cybersecurity domain.
- Proven experience building, configuring, and maintaining multi-vendor enterprise lab environments, POC frameworks, and cloud/network infrastructures (AWS, Azure, GCP, hybrid setups).
- Strong track record of authoring customer-facing technical documentation, whitepapers, video walkthroughs, and architecture guides.
- Hands-on technical background with enterprise IT tooling, REST APIs, scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash), security workflows, and integration patterns.
- Deep understanding of the competitive cybersecurity landscape, enterprise deployment topologies, and customer pain points.
- Experience collaborating directly with Product Management to test feature capabilities, validate technical requirements, and provide actionable feedback.

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success. The expected salary range for this position is $150,000 – $250,000 per year. Within this range, individual pay is determined based on job-related factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and internal equity. Most candidates can expect an offer within the range listed above. Your recruiter will provide additional details on compensation and benefits to qualified candidates during the hiring process.
