Initial Deployment

  • Execute onboarding and configuration in cloud and hybrid environments, including AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and on-prem setups.
  • Integrate platform with enterprise cryptographic stores, PKI, HSMs, and certificate management tools.

  • Deliver Level 2 technical troubleshooting : logs analysis, API call tracing, platform configuration review, and detailed root cause diagnosis.
  • Work with engineering and product teams to escalate and resolve deeper software bugs or feature gaps.
  • Document support cases, resolutions, and lessons learned in knowledge base articles or FAQs.
  • Assist in refining support workflows and SLAs for mission-critical federal environments.
  • Qualifications

    Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, cybersecurity, or related technical field.
  • 4+ years of experience in pre-sales, solution engineering, or technical consulting.
  • 2+ years of hands-on deployment or integration of SaaS / cloud-based security solutions (especially in government or regulated environments).
  • 2+ years of experience supporting enterprise software, including Tier 1 or Tier 2 technical support.
  • Deep familiarity with cryptographic technologies : TLS / SSL, PKI, HSM, digital certificates, keys, and standard encryption schemes.
  • Experience working with federal security compliance frameworks (e.g., FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, ICD-500 and relevant series).
  • Strong communication and presentation skills for both technical and executive audiences.
  • Preferred

  • Experience managing support queues and customer case triage processes using platforms like Zendesk, Jira, or ServiceNow.
