## About the role

Witness AI invented intent-based AI security. While legacy tools monitor what users say to AI, we understand what they're trying to accomplish - stopping jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and shadow AI before damage occurs. We provide visibility into how employees and systems use AI - capturing prompts, responses, and agent activity - so security teams can monitor risk, investigate incidents, and enforce guardrails in real time.

- Minimum of 5-7 years of experience in a technical pre-sales, solutions architect, or sales engineering role, ideally within enterprise software, cybersecurity, or AI governance spaces
- Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) (e.g., Zscaler, Netskope, Cato Networks, etc.)
- Firewall technologies (e.g., Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Cisco, Check Point)
- Windows and Mac operating systems environments
- API integration and management
