Solutions Architect

Role Responsibilities

• Own the Mesh technical narrative in the field. Translate IVIP positioning, FAIR/ALE risk quantification, and closed-loop remediation into compelling, customer-specific stories that move deals from discovery through close.
• Serve as a strategic technical advisor to prospects and customers — map identity exposure to business risk and prescribe Mesh as the path from “you are exposed” to “this is fixed.”
• Design and deliver proof-of-value engagements end-to-end: run live product demos, configure customer environments, and execute the technical heavy lifting that compresses time-to-value — measurable outcomes in days, not weeks.
• Serve as the primary technical resource on every qualified deal — own demos, technical discovery, objection handling, and solution design alongside the sales team. Shape deal strategy, identify expansion opportunities, and influence procurement through technical authority.
• Represent Axiad at industry events, conferences, webinars, and customer advisory sessions as a subject matter expert — credible in the weeds and commanding on stage.
• Act as the voice of the customer internally. Feed field intelligence directly back to product management and engineering to shape the roadmap.
• Develop sales enablement assets: competitive battlecards, reference architectures, demo environments, and technical differentiation narratives for live deal situations.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in solutions architecture, sales engineering, or technical pre-sales in B2B cybersecurity or identity security.
• Strong understanding of risk quantification frameworks (FAIR/ALE preferred) and the ability to translate technical exposure into business-risk language for executive audiences.
• Proven ability to lead complex proof-of-value and proof-of-concept engagements that directly influenced deal outcomes.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern identity infrastructure.
• Familiarity with security protocols, cryptographic principles, and networking fundamentals.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or related field. Relevant certifications (CISSP, CISM, CKA, AWS Solutions Architect) are a plus.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% for customer engagements, events, and field activity.
