• Deliver high-impact demonstrations, workshops, and proof-of-concepts covering SD-WAN, ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) use cases relevant to government and education environments.
• Position integrated security and networking solutions that address challenges including multi-site connectivity (campuses, courthouses, branch offices), remote user access, and cloud application adoption.
• Support sales pursuits by responding to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires - including those structured around SLED procurement vehicles and compliance frameworks - with clear, technically accurate documentation and architecture diagrams.
• Collaborate with account managers, channel partners, state and local resellers, and professional services teams to drive successful deal outcomes.
• Present confidently to technical audiences and executive stakeholders including CIOs, CISOs, IT directors, and elected officials overseeing technology decisions.
• Provide field feedback to product and engineering teams based on customer requirements and pain points.
• Travel within the territory to support customer meetings, partner engagements, workshops, and public sector industry events such as NASCIO, GovTech, or regional education technology conferences.

• 5+ years of experience in technical presales, sales engineering, or solution architecture within networking, security, or cloud domains
• Hands-on experience with SASE, Zero Trust, SD-WAN, and cloud-delivered security architectures.
• Strong understanding of security technologies including firewalls, IPsec, SSL-VPN, IDS/IPS, and traffic inspection.
• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP/S, BGP, and OSPF.
• Familiarity with identity and access management concepts including SSO, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and role-based access control.
• Working knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud).
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear mission and business value for non-technical government and education stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications such as CISSP, Security+, and/or relevant cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Familiarity with Zero Trust maturity models and how they map to public sector security mandates (e.g., CISA Zero Trust Strategy, EO 14028).

What We Offer

• The opportunity to directly impact how government agencies and educational institutions protect their networks, students, and citizens.
• Work at the intersection of one of the fastest-growing areas in networking - SASE and Zero Trust - applied to a mission-driven customer segment.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and flexible work arrangements.
