What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

  • Deep technical expertise in Cloud Networking — you are the person others turn to when they need a concept explained clearly or a slide deck that actually lands

  • Proven ability to translate complex technical differentiators into compelling, simple narratives — whether in a blog, a pitch deck, or a keynote

  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills — you write with precision, speak with confidence, and design slides with intent

  • You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.

  • You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.

  • You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.

  • You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Experience developing product positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategies for AI-driven cloud networking security solutions or machine learning-powered cloud threat detection capabilities
