We’re working with a well-established, publicly listed specialist in network security, focused on stopping DDoS attacks automatically and in real time. Their platform brings detection, mitigation and analytics together. It’s trusted by internet service providers, hosting companies and large enterprises to keep their services online whatever is thrown at them, in some of the most demanding network environments around.

Salary up to £70,000

Private medical insurance
Enhanced parental leave
Generous holiday, plus your birthday off
The role
This is a dedicated, seconded position. You’ll be the company’s eyes and ears inside one of its most important customers. Once the platform is live, you’re the customer’s first point of contact for escalations and their first source of product knowledge.
You’ll sit within the Professional Services team, which takes over every account after deployment. Your job is to give the customer a truly white-glove experience. That means owning every issue that comes up, making sure it reaches the right people (SOC, Development or Professional Services) and seeing it through to a resolution the customer is happy with.
This is not a development role. You won’t be writing code or building things. Your focus will be entirely on the customer: understanding how they use the platform, where it’s working well and where it isn’t, and making sure their experience keeps improving.
What you’ll be doing
Being the trusted, day-to-day technical contact for a major customer, working remotely with regular on-site visits
Owning issues from start to finish, even when other teams carry out the fix, so the customer always knows someone is accountable
Bringing in the right internal teams, keeping everyone updated and making sure nothing gets lost
Picking up early signs of frustration or pain points and dealing with them before they put the relationship at risk
Feeding customer insight back into the business as part of a culture of continuous feedback and continuous improvement
Spotting where extra products or services could solve a customer problem, and passing those opportunities to the account team
Taking part in health checks, service reviews and strategic conversations with the customer
Helping customer teams build their confidence and knowledge of the platform
What we’re looking for
A career that has been entirely customer-facing, ideally as a Technical Account Manager, Customer Success Engineer, Resident Engineer, Solutions Engineer or something similar
Experience supporting a complex, technical product that is live in production for demanding customers
A background in network security, telemetry, data analytics or a related field
Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to handle difficult conversations and senior stakeholders
A solid understanding of networking and infrastructure
Willingness to travel to customer sites when needed
Exposure to DDoS mitigation or similar security platforms is a nice-to-have
Please apply with your most up-to-date CV for consideration.
