Role Overview

As a Customer Success Engineer with a strong background in network security, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring our customers are successful in deploying, integrating, and maximizing the value of our security platform.

  • Customer Advocacy: Build strong relationships and understand customer goals, proactively identifying opportunities to improve their experience and adoption.

  • Training & Enablement: Deliver product training sessions and create technical resources (e.g., guides, runbooks, videos) to empower customer teams.

  • Feedback Loop: Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to relay customer feedback, feature requests, and bug reports.

  • Security Expertise: Act as a subject matter expert in networking and AI security concepts—firewalls, proxies, jailbreaks, unethical usage and data leakage.

  • Strong understanding of common enterprise technologies and architectures

  • Hands-on experience with firewalls and/or proxies (e.g., Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Zscaler, Netskope, Fortinet).

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Experience working in fast-paced SaaS or cybersecurity environments.

  • Familiarity with SSO, authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth), and cloud security practices is a plus.
