Flexible Technical Content Creator Jobs in San Ramon, CA

We are seeking a Technical Content Creator to design and deliver compelling product experiences through a combination of high-quality technical content, and creating the lab components and realistic data simulations to support this content creation.

This is a unique hybrid role that blends:

• Cybersecurity and networking expertise
• Cloud-based lab and data environment creation
• Technical storytelling and content production

You will be responsible for creating end-to-end enablement assets — from generating realistic traffic and attack simulations, to building demo-ready environments, to producing polished video content and guided product walkthroughs.

This role is highly visible and requires someone who is comfortable operating independently, including comfort with being on camera while recording technical content for internal and external audiences.

• Create high-quality technical content, including:
  • Recorded product demos
  • Feature walkthrough videos
  • UI-guided tutorials and overlay walkthroughs
  • Demo narratives for new product releases
• Translate complex cybersecurity and networking concepts into clear, engaging content.
• Present confidently on camera for recorded and live enablement content.
• Collaborate with Product, Marketing, and Enablement teams to align messaging and technical accuracy.

• Design and build demo-ready lab environments to support product storytelling.
• Develop and maintain demo scenarios that highlight key product capabilities.
• Create lightweight, repeatable environments for internal and partner use.
• Configure SaaS environments and ensure demo stability and reliability.

• Generate realistic network traffic and SaaS application behavior (e.g., collaboration tools, web traffic).
• Simulate cybersecurity threats and attack scenarios aligned with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, including:
  • Lateral movement
  • Command-and-control traffic
  • Data exfiltration
  • Network degradation scenarios
• Simulate network conditions such as latency, jitter, and packet loss.
• Build modular, reusable data scenarios for demos and enablement use cases.

• Deploy and manage virtual environments in Azure (and/or AWS) to support demo and simulation needs.
• Configure:
  • Virtual machines
  • VPN clients
  • Networking components
• Ensure environments are properly connected to SaaS platforms and functioning as intended.

• Use scripting and automation to streamline:
  • Environment setup
  • Data generation
  • Scenario execution
• Work with APIs to configure SaaS environments and retrieve telemetry.
• Build repeatable workflows for demo and content creation environments.

• 6+ years of experience in networking, cybersecurity, or related technical roles.
• Strong background in networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, VPNs).
• Solid understanding of cybersecurity concepts (threat detection, intrusion techniques, zero trust).
• Experience working with cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS acceptable).
• Strong scripting and automation experience using:
  • Python
  • PowerShell
  • Linux command-line environments (bash)
• Experience interacting with REST APIs for automation and configuration.
• Proven ability to work independently across multiple domains (cloud, networking, SaaS, automation).

• Experience creating technical content such as:
  • Product demos
  • Training videos
  • Walkthroughs or tutorials
• Comfortable presenting technical material on camera.
• Ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to varied audiences.

• Experience in Sales Engineering, Technical Enablement, or Product Enablement roles.
• Experience supporting pre-sales or partner enablement programs.
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK or similar frameworks.
• Experience generating network traffic using tools such as Scapy, tcpreplay, iperf, etc.
• Experience simulating network conditions (tc, netem).
• Exposure to cybersecurity tools (Wireshark, Nmap, SIEM platforms, etc.).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CCNA, CCNP, Security+, CISSP) — nice to have but not required.

• High-quality, engaging video content that clearly demonstrates product capabilities.
• Realistic and reliable demo environments that replicate customer scenarios.
• Effective simulation of threats and network conditions to showcase product value.
• Strong adoption of enablement materials by Sales Engineers and partners.
• Seamless integration of technical accuracy with compelling storytelling.

• A technical storyteller who enjoys explaining complex systems simply and effectively.
• A hands-on builder who can create demo environments, simulate real-world scenarios, and troubleshoot independently.
• Comfortable switching between engineering work and content creation.
• Confident, clear communicator who is comfortable being the face of technical content.
• Experience in customer-facing roles (e.g., Sales Engineer, Enablement Engineer) is highly valued.

This is not a traditional engineering or content role — it sits at the intersection of both.

You will directly influence how customers, partners, and internal teams understand and experience our product, combining deep technical expertise with high-impact storytelling.

Cato provides a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits plan. Benefits for this role include health/vision/dental insurance, 401(k), stock options, Health Savings/Flexible Spending Accounts, flexible time-off, paid parental leave and disability benefits.
