What will you be doing?This role is a Technical Solutions Architect I in the Lab Services Security team within the Advanced Technology Center (ATC). This position is hands-on and focused on building, deploying, and maintaining security-focused lab environments used for customer Proof of Concepts (PoCs), training, and long-term lab services.
This is not a purely design or pre-sales role - this is a lab-based architect role responsible for executing, validating, and maintaining security solutions in a multi-vendor environment.
The ideal candidate will have foundational knowledge across multiple areas of cybersecurity and a strong interest in continuously learning and expanding their technical depth across security domains including endpoint, network, and cloud security.
Responsibilities:- Build and manage relationships with customers and partners, both internally and externally
- Design, build, deploy, and maintain security lab environments for customer engagements including sandbox environments, Proof of Concepts, and Lab-as-a-Service offerings
- Execute hands-on configuration, integration, and validation of security technologies across multiple domains
- Develop and execute test plans and use cases aligned to real-world customer scenarios
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to security integrations, configurations, and lab performance
- Create architectural diagrams, access guides, test documentation, and knowledge articles for internal and external use
- Collaborate with customers, sales teams, engineers, and architects to design and deliver effective security solutions
- Support the full lifecycle of lab engagements including scoping, build, execution, testing, teardown, and optimization
- Support business development and marketing initiatives as needed
- Achieve industry certifications to support partner requirements
