About Presales, Prisma Cloud Solutions Architect - Strategics

  Our Mission

  At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:

  Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

  Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

  Our Approach to Work

  We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond!

  Your Career

  As a Palo Alto Networks Solutions Architect (SA), you will aim to build influential relationships with key technical decision makers at customers. With those trusted relationships, you are better positioned to uncover new opportunities that help solve customer problems and fuel their business drivers.

  We aim to make the role of the SA the highlight of your technical sales career. You will be surrounded by the preeminent cybersecurity experts in the industry who will support your success personally, professionally, and with your customer engagements. Rallying all the Palo Alto Networks resources for the benefit of customer success, you will become the influential cloud native security thought leader.

  All this happens by having a culture of psychological safety where we give and accept feedback freely for the goal of continually growing and improving, so we show up as the best versions of ourselves every day.

  Your Impact

  Establish yourself as a trusted advisor to prospects and customers working with your Account Manager and the local partners within your territory

  Educate customers about industry trends and emerging changes to the security landscape that every customer needs to be aware of

  Showcase security best practices and desired outcomes by building technical proof of concepts, and educating customers on the value proposition of Prisma Cloud

  Be the technical voice of Sales for all things related to security and compliance in Public Cloud (Alicloud, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform)

  Develop relationships with technical teams in channel partners who will be integral in providing successful deployments and cloud security

  Act as a conduit for customer feedback to Product Management, Technical Marketing, competitor intelligence, and R&D to create requirements and deliver product features for our customers

  Frequency of travel is about twice a month, on average - This includes occasional travel for internal events (sales kickoff, technical summit), as well as for cloud security and DevSecOps industry conferences

  Your Experience

  Degree in CS or equivalent experience or equivalent military experience required

  3+ years technical sales or equivalent experience highly preferred

  Hands-on experience using IaC software tools (CloudFormation, Terraform, Azure Resource Manager, GCP Cloud Deployment Manager etc) and CI/CD tools (IDEs, GitLab, GitHuB, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.)

  Experience with AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform configuration and administration of security features and services (including identity and access management, networking, firewalls, encryption)

  Background in security domain, cloud security highly preferred

  Understanding of container and container orchestration technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift

  The Team

  The SA is mapped to one or more Sales Specialists. As a Prisma Cloud specialist team, we are part of the Core Palo Alto Networks account team that owns the end-to-end relationship with our customers.

  The Prisma Cloud specialist team will plan, collaborate, and coordinate with the Core team for customer engagements and opportunity ownership. For all Prisma Cloud opportunities, the specialist team owns the opportunity end-to-end, while keeping the Core team in the loop throughout.

  Our Commitment

  We’re trailblazers that dream big, take risks, and challenge cybersecurity’s status quo. It’s simple: we can’t accomplish our mission without diverse teams innovating, together.
