-
Build and maintain high-fidelity lab sandbox topologies to replicate complex customer deployments and edge-case issues, troubleshooting hands-on with SMEs to validate root causes and workarounds
-
Create and maintain canonical enablement assets, including self-paced student guides, topology diagrams, verification rubrics, scenario drills, and troubleshooting runbooks, to increase field autonomy at scale
-
Produce authoritative, structured technical source collateral for AI-assisted content generation and perform strict quality assurance to ensure technical accuracy and prevent content drift
-
Deliver targeted, high-impact enablement interventions such as topic bootcamps, weekly office hours, and ad-hoc architecture whiteboard deep dives focused on complex topics and new releases
Who You Are (Success Profile)
-
You thrive in ambiguity and are comfortable building the path as you walk it, viewing a dynamic environment as the raw material to build something meaningful.
-
You are a dedicated problem-solver who seeks out challenges and is energized by finding solutions, knowing that solving the hardest problems delivers the biggest impact.
-
You are a continuous learner with a true growth mindset who actively seeks feedback to develop yourself into a better partner and a stronger teammate.
-
You are a pragmatic builder obsessed with creating, iterating, and shipping, willing to roll up your sleeves to balance technical excellence with rapid value delivery.
-
You champion simplicity and are highly skilled at distilling complex problems, user needs, and technical concepts into clear, actionable plans and precise communication.
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
-
Demonstrated curiosity and active exploration of AI tools, with a proven history of integrating new technologies to enhance daily workflows and augment problem-solving
-
5+ years of experience in system/network engineering, cloud architecture, or technical operations with hands-on experience replicating complex topologies in virtual sandbox/lab environments
-
Experience designing and authoring technical enablement assets (labs, student guides, verification rubrics, troubleshooting runbooks/decision trees) that are clear, testable, and scalable
-
Strong foundation in enterprise networking/security concepts and the ability to whiteboard and explain end-to-end flows (e.g., packet flow, policy processing order, hybrid connectivity, IdP/SCIM concepts)
-
Demonstrated cross-functional partnering skills (PS, TSMs, Support, Enablement/LXD, Lab Infra/DevOps) and ability to intake/prioritize requests based on impact and urgency
-
Strong communication and facilitation skills across modalities (written self-paced content + live clinics/office hours), with a bias toward improving field autonomy
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
-
Experience building/operating lab infrastructure and automation (e.g., environment provisioning, tenant resets, repeatable lab reliability) in partnership with Lab Infra/DevOps
-
Experience with AI-assisted curriculum workflows (creating “AI-ready” canonical source content, validating AI-generated learning modules, governance to prevent drift/hallucinations)
-
Track record of keeping enablement content current in fast-release SaaS environments (e.g., bi-weekly/monthly releases), and/or relevant industry certifications/upskilling momentum
