Cisco Careers

What You'll Do

Working in the APJC team of the Security Services Organization, the role of a Security Consulting Engineer(SCE) is to provide technical leadership to customers across the spectrum of information and cyber security with a very strong focus on Enterprise and Service Provider Security. The role requires a mix of pre-sales expertise, leadership of virtual teams for delivery of complex projects, and deep and wide technical expertise to support internal and external stakeholders.

Projects vary considerably encompassing technical services such as security architecture; advising customers on people, policy and procedure issues around their security deployment; helping scope and design complex multi-vendor security solutions for large scale service provider networks and supporting customers in their risk and threat mitigation solutions including incident response, containment, eradication and remediation. 

Who You'll Work With

In addition to being aligned with the customers’ strategy the SCE needs to be aligned closely with all Cisco Advanced Services teams engaged at the customer. This evolvement includes helping provide clear and concise customer requirements, ensuring the team is working towards the correct solution for the customer, the customer is understanding of the solution proposed by Cisco, and that any potential gap or issue is identified and brought to the attention of the correct Cisco team members and ultimately the customer. This involvement with internal Cisco teams will include providing key account updates to management while working across functional areas with both CoE Solution Architects and Network Consulting Engineers.
