Profile match
Fortinet is an American cybersecurity company founded in 2000 by two brothers who had previously built the intrusion prevention firm NetScreen. It is best known for FortiGate, a firewall built around custom silicon that gives it a price and throughput advantage over software-only competitors, and it has extended that installed base into a wide security platform covering secure access service edge, endpoint protection, security operations and switching and wireless. Headquartered in Sunnyvale and listed on Nasdaq, it sells almost entirely through channel partners and is unusually strong with mid-sized enterprises and service providers.

We are seeking a Sales Engineer to partner with a Named Account Manager in a defined territory. This role is designed for a technically strong but strategically minded individual who thrives in customer-facing engagements. The Systems Engineer will act as a trusted advisor, guiding large enterprise organizations through cybersecurity transformation initiatives that span SecOps, Zero Trust, cloud, and network security.

  • Lead discovery sessions, workshops, and security assessments that uncover operational and architectural requirements in complex enterprise environments.
  • Design and present secure architectures that incorporate networking, cloud, and SecOps components.
  • Deliver impactful presentations and demos to both technical stakeholders and executive decision-makers (CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, and business leaders).

Customer Engagement & Strategy

  • Serve as the primary technical expert in sales cycles, guiding enterprise accounts through evaluation and decision processes.
  • Advise on cybersecurity strategies such as Zero Trust, SASE, cloud security, and SecOps modernization.
  • Build and maintain long-term trusted relationships with C-level executives and senior leadership, positioning yourself as a strategic advisor.
  • Translate technical concepts into business value discussions tailored for executive-level conversations.

Post-Sales Partnership

  • Support smooth deployment transitions by working closely with professional services, support, and customer success teams.
  • Provide roadmap guidance, operational reviews, and strategic check-ins to reinforce customer value realization.
  • Continue as a trusted advisor to enterprise leadership, ensuring ongoing alignment of their evolving needs with solution capabilities.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 5-8 years experience in pre-sales or systems engineering roles in enterprise-scale cybersecurity, networking, or cloud environments.
  • Strong understanding of networking (LAN/WAN, routing, switching, VPNs, TCP/IP) and core security protocols (IPSec, TLS/SSL, PKI, SAML, OAuth, RADIUS, etc.).
  • Ability to articulate and design solutions across:
    • SecOps modernization (SIEM, SOAR, XDR)
    • Zero Trust and SASE architectures
    • Cloud and hybrid security (IaaS, SaaS, containerized workloads)
    • Identity and access management (MFA, SSO, PAM)
  • Excellent presentation, communication, and storytelling skills -capable of engaging both deeply technical audiences and executive decision-makers.
  • Proven track record of leading architectural discussions and aligning technical solutions with business priorities at the enterprise level.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Industry certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or vendor-specific credentials (e.g., NSE, CCNP Security, AWS Security Specialty).
  • Experience in consulting or advisory roles for large enterprise customers, especially in CISO/CIO-level conversations.
  • Familiarity with compliance and security frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2).
