- Maintain hands-on proficiency with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and security analysis tools to lead by example in troubleshooting highly complex enterprise environments.
- Partner technically with CTO, Product, and R&D, translating complex customer issues and AI-derived technical trends into actionable architectural improvements, feature requests, and bug fixes.
- Act as a technical authority during high-severity security incidents and escalations, providing clear, deeply technical communication to C-level enterprise customers.
- Architect and directly prototype AI-driven support workflows, building out automated triage scripts, log analysis automations, and intelligent routing mechanisms.
- Get hands-on with advanced prompt engineering, LLM fine-tuning for support knowledge bases, and API integrations between AI tools and our core cybersecurity products.

- Train and mentor managers and ICs on advanced technical AI utilization, human-in-the-loop validation, and leveraging AI for rapid root-cause analysis.
