Role Overview
The Enterprise Solutions Architect (ESA) – WEST is a senior individual contributor who owns the technical sales lifecycle for AppViewX's strategic enterprise accounts and prospects across the Western United States. This role is designed for a seasoned SE practitioner who brings deep Identity/PKI/CLM/PQC domain expertise, proven enterprise POC execution, and the ability to engage security leadership stakeholders with confidence.

Key Responsibilities
Enterprise Pre-Sales Ownership
- Own the full technical sales lifecycle for enterprise accounts: technical discovery, solution design, architecture workshops, POC/POV execution, competitive displacement, and technical closure.
- Lead West region enterprise opportunities independently - including multi-product deployments spanning CLM, PKI, Code Signing, Kubernetes TLS, AIS and QTH.
- Develop account-level technical strategy, identifying expansion, upsell, and cross-sell opportunities within the installed base.
- Partner with Enterprise AEs and Regional Sales leadership to shape deal strategy and competitive positioning.
Customer & Executive Engagement
- Engage VP Infrastructure, VP Security, and CISO-level stakeholders with architecture-level conversations on machine identity, Zero Trust, and cryptographic modernization.
- Lead technical discovery sessions, architecture workshops, and competitive bake-offs at enterprise accounts.
- Represent AppViewX at industry events, trade shows, and partner forums across the Western United States.
POC / POV Delivery
- Architect and personally execute high-impact enterprise POCs/POVs — including technical prerequisites, integration scoping, success criteria definition, and executive readout.
- Maintain hands-on proficiency across AVX CLM, PKI, SSH, Kubernetes, Code Signing, AIS and QTH product lines.
- Develop and contribute to reusable POC playbooks, integration reference architectures, and technical runbooks.
Customer and Partner Advisory
- Serve as a credible field advisor on post-quantum cryptographic readiness for enterprise accounts.
- Articulate the NIST PQC standardization outcomes and their enterprise implications:
- Educate prospects on the Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later (HNDL) threat and help shape customer PQC migration timelines and certificate inventory assessments.
- Serve as a credible field advisor on agentic identity governess for enterprise accounts.
Team Contribution & Enablement
- Contribute to the SE team's competitive battlecards, RFP libraries, and shared knowledge base.
- Support partner enablement sessions with GSIs, VARs, and technology alliance partners across the Western region.
- Provide structured field feedback to Product Management on feature gaps, competitive pressures, and PQC integration requirements.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in enterprise pre-sales, solutions architecture, or a senior technical customer-facing role within cybersecurity around identity (IAM) security.
- Solid hands-on expertise in two or more of the following:
- Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) — CA hierarchy design, ADCS, EJBCA, or commercial CA deployment
- Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) — enterprise automation platforms, integrations, and workflows
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) — Thales Luna, Utimaco, AWS CloudHSM, or Azure Dedicated HSM
- Identity & Access Management (IAM) — machine identity, workload identity, or service account governance
- Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) — ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), hybrid composite certificates
- Demonstrated experience engaging VP- and Director-level security or infrastructure stakeholders.
- Proven ability to lead and close enterprise POC/POV engagements in complex multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

- Strong understanding of Zero Trust and identity-centric security models
- Proven track record in 6–12-month enterprise sales cycles involving multi-stakeholder procurement.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present to both engineering teams and security leadership.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience.
- Based in Western United States with ability to travel 30–40% for customer, partner, and internal engagements.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience displacing Venafi TPP/TaaS, Keyfactor Command, DigiCert ONE, or Entrust in competitive enterprise accounts.
- Familiarity with EJBCA, HashiCorp Vault PKI, or open-source CA platforms.
- Knowledge of certificate automation protocols: ACME, SCEP, EST, CMP.
- Scripting or automation experience: Bash, PowerShell, Python, or Ansible for POC support and demo environment management.
- Experience integrating CLM platforms with ServiceNow, Splunk, CyberArk, or enterprise ITSM/SIEM platforms.
