Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Specialist Sales Engineer to join our team. This is a hybrid role based in Singapore, reporting to the Specialist Solution Director in the Zero Trust Cloud team department. The Senior Specialist Sales Engineer serves as the primary technical lead and strategic advisor, guiding customers across ASEAN to secure workloads and traffic across diverse hybrid and multi-cloud environments by leveraging Zscaler’s Zero Trust Architecture to achieve key business outcomes. The role will also collaborate with field teams at the highest levels, driving internal and customer-facing enablement for Zero Trust Cloud use cases to accelerate Zscaler’s regional GTM strategy while acting as a critical link between the field and Product Management to influence the Product Roadmap.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

  • Serve as the technical expert for Zero Trust Architecture in Cloud environments, focusing on AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Collaborate with sales and engineering teams to provide technical insights that influence the Product roadmap
  • Lead conversations about Zero Trust Security trends, strategies, and deployment with customers at all organizational levels
  • Run customer Proof-of-Value engagements in collaboration with Sales Engineers, demonstrating Zscaler’s unique value proposition
  • Provide competitive insights and position Zscaler solutions as the best alternative

Who You Are (Success Profile)

  • You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
  • You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
  • You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
  • You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent certifications/experience
  • 5+ years of experience in technical sales, systems engineering, or enterprise security architecture
  • Hands-on expertise in security, networking, and applications, with practical experience on at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Strong presentation and communication skills to engage with diverse audiences, from practitioners to executives

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Experience architecting security frameworks or defining access controls for AI/ML workloads and LLM data pipelines within public cloud environments
  • Familiarity with Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Private Access (ZPA) or similar enterprise-grade SSE/SASE/Cloud Security solutions
  • Experience delivering cloud-based solutions within Zero Trust frameworks
