Security Architect (Presales) - Northeast region (Remote)
About the role
Role Overview
GuidePoint Security is seeking a Pre-Sales Security Architect to join our Security Operations practice and serve as a trusted technical advisor to prospects and customers throughout the sales cycle.
What You'll Do
- Lead technical discovery calls and translate customer requirements into high-level solution designs
- Speak credibly about product capabilities, integrations, and architectural trade-offs (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel, CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, Tines, Torque, Snowflake)
- Draw integration diagrams, validate technical feasibility, and position GuidePoint's differentiated capabilities
- Support account executives in pre-sales engagements, ensuring technical alignment before formal scoping
- Stay current on security operations trends, emerging platforms, and competitive positioning
- Collaborate with delivery architects to ensure smooth transitions from sales to implementation
What We're Looking For
- Technically credible — you understand how SIEM/SOAR/detection-as-code ecosystems work at a fundamental level
- Approachable and articulate — you can explain complex topics in accessible terms without being condescending or overconfident
- Customer-focused — you listen well, ask the right questions, and build trust quickly
- Curious and adaptable — you're comfortable learning new platforms (e.g., Snowflake) as customer demand evolves
- Experience in security operations, consulting, or pre-sales engineering preferred
- No deep implementation expertise required — we value breadth, communication, and judgment over hands-on keyboard skills
