## About the role

The Technical Services Center of Excellence (CoE) builds the platforms, tooling and AI capabilities our engineers use to deliver security outcomes for customers. As Global Solutions Architect for AI Network Security, you will own the automation strategy for network security delivery. That spans traditional automation (scripting, API integrations, configuration management and workflow orchestration) as well as AI, which now plays a central role in the work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8-12 years of professional software development experience. This includes at least one full-stack system you designed, shipped to production, and continued to own after launch
- Applied first-principles design: you can show a past architecture decision where you named the underlying constraint, chose what not to build, and justified the result
- Software design and testing discipline: clear interfaces, separation of concerns, dependency injection, and automated tests enforced in CI
- Network and security engineering: routing, segmentation, policy, VPN, SASE and threat prevention. You can deploy and test against a firewall, SASE or SD-WAN environment
- Production experience on a major cloud (Google Cloud preferred: GKE, Cloud SQL, IAM, Secret Manager or KMS) and infrastructure as code (Terraform or OpenTofu)
- Cross-functional influence: a track record of building relationships and driving outcomes across business units and teams you do not manage, including with field teams such as Customer Success and Professional Services
