Join us to make your mark on the planning and product roadmap at the forefront of the world’s cloud security leader.

We are looking for a Principal Product Specialist to join our team and have an impact on sales for our Browser Isolation product.

  • Provide design consultation and best practice guidance for rollout, implementation, and policy conversion during the 'pre-sales' process for strategic opportunities. Take ownership of advanced 'proof of concept' testing in strategic accounts either at the customer site or Zscaler lab facilities
  • Present to customers as SME at all levels in the customer hierarchy, from technician to CIO. Lead customer demonstrations (with our SE's) that showcase our unique value. Discuss, with credibility, offers in the marketplace and position ours as the best alternative.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications) 

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or other technical fields
  • 8 years of experience as Sales Engineer, Consulting Engineer, SE specialists or Solution Architect
  • Experience delivering products as cloud-based services
  • Must have a working knowledge and hands-on experience in Tier-1 SaaS applications, licensing and entitlement, and analytics products
