- Validate designs to de-risk adoption and accelerate time to value.
- Identify and articulate expansion opportunities; review consumption trends and schedule checkpoint reviews (with or without AE coordination).
- Engage CISO/CIO stakeholders for risk, status, and opportunity discussions; synthesize inputs from account health and CSE-led QBRs.
- Support AEs on security- and AI-driven expansion motions; influence roadmap priorities with CSE counterparts.
- Operate as a pooled resource covering Enterprise and Commercial-Named accounts (generally $100K+ ARR), typically at a 1 Domain Engineering Specialist to 6–8 CSE coverage ratio.
What You’ll Bring

- Expertise in data security and governance, including DSPM/DLP; familiarity with AI/ML architectures.
- Demonstrated ability to engage CISO/CIO stakeholders on risk, resilience, and modernization roadmaps.
- Deep expertise in cloud technologies (AWS preferred; Azure also highly relevant).

- Solid working knowledge of Veeam products.
- Strong communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
