Cortex Systems Engineer Specialist

Description:

As a Systems Engineer Specialist for Cortex (a Next-Gen AI-powered security operations platform), you will be the expert for our Endpoint, XDR and Automation portfolio within the larger Palo Alto Networks offerings, with a focus on strategic accounts.

Your portfolio includes Cortex XDR (Extended Detection and Response platform across endpoints, network and cloud), Cortex XSOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, Response & Threat Intel Management), Cortex Xpanse (Attack Surface Management) and Unit 42 services.

You are the “go to” resource for customer interactions that exceed standard SE support requirements. Your role is one of technical mentorship – working with Account Managers to build integrated solutions for our client’s unique environments. With your colleagues, you will displace competing technologies, and build market share within your targeted list of major accounts, and most importantly, help your client sleep at night as our product integrates to build secure digital transactions. This position is not limited to a physical Palo Alto Networks office location, but instead covers a particular market for our sales prospects.
