Over 13,600 enterprise customers, including over 85 of the Fortune 100 and nearly 70% of the Global 500, rely on Cohesity to strengthen their resilience while providing Gen AI insights into their vast amounts of data. Formed from the combination of Cohesity with Veritas’ enterprise data protection business, the company’s solutions secure and protect data on-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge. Backed by NVIDIA, IBM, HPE, Cisco, AWS, Google Cloud, and others, Cohesity is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, with offices around the globe. \nWe’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design , and our culture. \nWant to join the leader in AI-powered data security?\nCohesity is a leader in AI-powered data security and cyber resilience, named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Backup and Data Protection Platforms for the seventh consecutive year, serving over 13,600 enterprise customers worldwide, backed by NVIDIA, IBM, HPE, Cisco, AWS, Google Cloud, and others.\nCohesity's Security portfolio turns the backup estate into an active line of cyber defense: FortKnox (immutable, air-gapped cyber vaulting), Threat Defense (AI-powered threat detection), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), powered by Cyera, Data Classification, and Identity Resilience, built with Semperis. This is a full portfolio, not a single product, and it's the reason the role exists.\nFrontier models can now execute multistage attacks end to end, collapsing the window defenders have between initial access and encryption and narrowing what “protected” means to a short, defensible list: true immutability, a vault outside the production identity domain, genuine air-gap, and a tested recovery path. That's an architecture problem, and it's the one you're hired to solve on these founding seats on a new Security specialist team.\nPaired one-to-one with a Specialist AE, you own the technical win - architecture, demos, POCs, and the credibility to hold a technical room - while the AE owns the commercial relationship and the number. You bring enough depth to design and defend a ransomware-recovery, immutability, or identity-resilience architecture under technical scrutiny, and enough range to translate it into a business case an executive buys. This is a pre-sales, solution-architecture, and consultative role, not a hands-on production-engineering seat.\nHOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE:\nOwn the technical win in every Security deal you support - discovery, solution design, demos, and proof of value - partnered with the Specialist AE who owns the commercial close.\nBe the security architecture SME in the room on ransomware-recovery design, immutable/air-gapped vaulting, identity resilience, and DSPM - credible with a CISO, VP of Security, or their architects.\nArchitect reference architectures and lead technical workshops, POCs, and pilots that validate ransomware-recovery and identity-resilience use cases across regulated industries.\nBuild executive-quality technical narratives - solution briefs, architecture diagrams, and business cases specific to the account.\nKnow your accounts' technology footprint, and work the security partner ecosystem on joint solutions and technical co-sell.\nFeed the field back into the roadmap, and support disciplined deal hygiene - accurate technical qualification and honest POC exit criteria.\nWE’D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING:\n7+ years in solutions architecture, sales/pre-sales engineering, or technical consulting, including time supporting enterprise sales in a specialist or overlay capacity.\nHands-on experience designing or deploying ransomware-recovery architectures, immutable/air-gapped backup solutions, or identity-resilience (AD/Entra ID recovery) systems, with a strong infrastructure background (backup/recovery, storage, hybrid-cloud).\nWorking knowledge of Active Directory / Entra ID architecture and core security concepts - ransomware kill chains, immutability, air-gapping, zero trust - plus scripting/API proficiency (Python, PowerShell) for demos and POCs.\nExcellent communication skills - able to simplify complex concepts for technical and executive audiences - and comfort operating in a co-sell / specialist model.\nBachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\nDemonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.\nProfessional English language proficiency for customer and internal communication.\nWE ARE EXTRA EXCITED IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:\nPrior specialist or overlay SE/SA experience at a data infrastructure, backup, or cybersecurity vendor, including validating ransomware-recovery or identity-resilience use cases in regulated industries.\nExisting technical relationships or direct competitive experience in the backup, cyber resilience, or data security markets - matched to your territory.\nLanguage capability matched to the assigned territory (e.g., French, German, Mandarin, or Bahasa); business-level English required for all positions.\nHOW YOU'LL BE MEASURED:\nTechnical win rate on the deals you support, and influenced revenue and pipeline progression across your territory.\nQuality and reuse of the assets you produce, and the services / multi-phase attach they help generate.\nField collaboration with your paired Specialist AE, and partner co-sell results.\nTechnical qualification quality and POC / forecast reliability.\nTRAVEL AND LOCATION:\nField-based within assigned territory; regular travel for customer meetings, workshops, and POCs, plus periodic travel to Santa Clara HQ and company events\nData Privacy Notice for Job Candidates:\nFor information on personal data processing, please see our Privacy Policy.\nEqual Employment Opportunity Employer (EEOE)\nCohesity is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
