Supports pre-sale and post-sale customer engagements by analyzing business needs, designing and implementing enterprise software solutions, gathering requirements, documenting architectures, and guiding testing and change control. Advises customers on API integrations, automation, workflow, cloud deployments, and ServiceNow-related solutions. Partners with technical and business stakeholders, develops implementation best practices, estimates project effort, and helps customers achieve value with FireMon products.
FireMon delivers Network Security Policy Control for the Modern Enterprise.
Most enterprises run firewalls from multiple vendors alongside cloud security groups and microsegmentation platforms, and no single console can say whether it all works together. We believe policy is the control plane for network security: it defines what the environment should do, and the infrastructure carries it out. FireMon gives security teams one place to see, govern, and prove that their policy is doing what they intend, across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
As a Solutions Architect, you'll play a valuable role within the FireMon Customer Experience team, helping to assess business opportunities and support the development of strategies to address technical challenges. In this role, you'll work closely with security architects, infrastructure specialists, and engineering teams within customer organizations, gaining hands-on experience designing effective, results-driven solutions. You will support both Pre-Sale (Buyer's Journey) and Post-Sale (Customer Journey) phases, building your technical expertise and product knowledge along the way. With guidance from senior team members, you'll help empower customers to make informed decisions and achieve success in their projects.
