Snr. Technical Support Engineer, Prisma Cloud - Focused Services (Security Clearance Required)

Job Description

Your Career

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. You're a critical thinker in understanding the methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. You'll enjoy networking with key contacts outside your own area of expertise, with a strong capability of detailing difficult technical issues to both 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 provides the fast assistance they need to keep their environments secure - which means you'll need to move quickly, thoughtfully, and provide technical assistance as needed (often, in high pressure situations).

• Provide dedicated Technical Support for Prisma Cloud, ensuring service excellence in line with the statement of work and industry best practices.

• Respond to user-reported issues within defined SLAs, ensuring high customer satisfaction.

• Share insights from customer interactions to improve our product and support experience.

• Document troubleshooting steps and resolutions clearly for both internal and customer use.

• Lead root cause analysis and coordinate corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
