- Guide customers on Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles and implementation using Aviatrix security capabilities.
- Drive adoption of Aviatrix ThreatIQ, network threat detection, and security analytics within customer environments.
- Support security compliance initiatives (SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) through proper network security policy design.
- Collaborate with customer security operations teams to align Aviatrix DCF policies with organizational security standards and compliance requirements.
Operations & Incident Management
- Act as the technical escalation point for critical incidents within the customer's Aviatrix environment.
- Drive rapid resolution of network and security incidents, coordinating with Aviatrix TAC and Engineering as needed.
- Monitor platform health, perform proactive issue identification, and implement preventative measures.
- Develop and execute change management plans for major upgrades, migrations, and new feature deployments.
Collaboration & Thought Leadership
- Serve as the voice of the customer internally — relay feedback, feature requests, and product gaps to Product and Engineering teams.
- Contribute to internal knowledge base, runbooks, and best-practice documentation for the Embedded Engineering team.
- Mentor junior team members and share expertise on cloud networking and security architecture.
- Engage with Aviatrix field and product teams to stay current on roadmap, and proactively position new capabilities to customers.

- Experience with network security technologies: NGFWs, IDS/IPS, microsegmentation, Zero Trust, and cloud-native security controls.
- Hands-on experience with Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) — smart groups, security domains, stateful inspection, and policy enforcement — strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with cloud security compliance frameworks: SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF.
