Our Mission

Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Job Description

Your Career

We are looking for a highly motivated and customer-focused professional. As part of the global Cortex XSIAM/XDR support team, you will serve our customer base by providing technical support, answering incoming support inquiries, and managing escalations, phone calls, and emails effectively, efficiently, and friendly within defined service level agreements.

You will work firsthand with our valued customers to address their complex post-sales concerns where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of many factors. Youre a critical thinker in understanding the methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Youll enjoy networking with key contacts outside your area of expertise, with a strong capability of detailing complex technical issues to non-technical and technical professionals.

You will regularly participate in technical discussions with multi-functional teams, creating an environment of transparency that ultimately leads to better products, better working environments, and better cybersecurity. Your quick thinking and support to our clients provide the fast assistance they need to keep their environments secure - which means youll need to move quickly and thoughtfully and provide technical assistance as needed (often in high-pressure situations).

We expect office-based employees to be in the office four days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.
