A Security Senior Staff Technical Solution Engineer is an architect-level role focused on the creation, proof of concept, trials, sales, and deployment of solutions based on Cohesity’s backup and security solutions.  This is a demanding role as it requires knowledge of both backup/recovery solutions and security solutions that leverage these backup/recovery solutions.
