We’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design.

Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry.

Want to help us simplify the world of data management?

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.

  • We support a range of related third-party applications for data classification and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)
  • We have created a best-in-class Cyber Intrusion  response and recovery solution as well

This position needs to be an expert on all related Cohesity product capabilities. Expertise in data center design and practices -- as well as data protection, security distributed systems, and solutions at the web scale -- are essential.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE:

  • Present Cohesity technology (deep dive) to customer executives, technical leaders/experts and explain how it is applied in various use cases/scenarios
  • Conduct discovery workshops with the customer to identify business objectives, document use cases/requirements, and operational constraints

  • Provide technical information for RFPs/RFIs
  • Provide technical review for all account team proposals
