Technical Account Manager
WFA Digital Insight
Witness AI’s Technical Account Manager sits at the intersection of security engineering and customer success, a blend that few SaaS firms expose to remote talent. The position goes beyond typical support; it demands hands‑on deployment of an intent‑based AI security platform and the ability to translate complex network concepts—firewalls, proxies, zero‑trust—to varied audiences. Candidates will act as both advisor and problem‑solver, shaping how enterprises monitor AI‑driven risk in real time. The company’s focus on AI jailbreak prevention adds a layer of novelty, making the day‑to‑day work uniquely technical while still anchored in relationship building. Prospects should be comfortable navigating rapid SaaS cycles and eager to feed frontline insights back to product teams.
Job Description
Title: Technical Account Manager
Location: Atlanta, GA - Hybrid - 2 days/week
About Us
Witness AI invented intent-based AI security. While legacy tools monitor what users say to AI, we understand what they're trying to accomplish - stopping jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and shadow AI before damage occurs. We provide visibility into how employees and systems use AI - capturing prompts, responses, and agent activity - so security teams can monitor risk, investigate incidents, and enforce guardrails in real time.
Role Overview
As a Technical Account Manager with a strong background in network security, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring our customers are successful in deploying, integrating, and maximizing the value of our security platform. You’ll act as a trusted advisor, technical resource, and problem solver throughout the customer lifecycle—from onboarding to expansion.
Key Responsibilities
Customer Onboarding & Integration: Guide new customers through deployment, configuration, and best practices tailored to their network security environments.
Technical Support & Troubleshooting: Serve as a technical point of contact for advanced support issues, helping customers resolve complex network or security-related challenges.
Customer Advocacy: Build strong relationships and understand customer goals, proactively identifying opportunities to improve their experience and adoption.
Training & Enablement: Deliver product training sessions and create technical resources (e.g., guides, runbooks, videos) to empower customer teams.
Feedback Loop: Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to relay customer feedback, feature requests, and bug reports.
Security Expertise: Act as a subject matter expert in networking and AI security concepts—firewalls, proxies, jailbreaks, unethical usage and data leakage.
Account Health Monitoring: Track usage metrics and signals to identify risks and opportunities across your customer portfolio.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
3+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Customer Success, Support, Pre-Sales, or Solutions Engineering).
Strong understanding of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, firewalls, IDS/IPS, Zero Trust, etc.
Strong understanding of common enterprise technologies and architectures
Hands-on experience with firewalls and/or proxies (e.g., Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Zscaler, Netskope, Fortinet).
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience working in fast-paced SaaS or cybersecurity environments.
Familiarity with SSO, authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth), and cloud security practices is a plus.
Preferred Qualifications
Relevant security certifications
Experience with supporting or working with cybersecurity teams.
Prior experience supporting enterprise or global customers.
Prior startup experience
Benefits:
Hybrid work environment
Competitive salary.
Health, dental, and vision insurance.
401(k) plan.
Opportunities for professional development and growth.
Generous vacation policy.
Salary Range:
$124,000 - $161,000 (The exact salary will be determined based on the selected candidate’s location, qualifications, experience, and relevant skills.)
How to Stand Out
- Highlight any hands‑on projects where you integrated security tools like firewalls or proxies, and reference the specific products used.
- Prepare clear, concise explanations of networking concepts; interviewers often ask you to teach a non‑technical stakeholder.
- Bring metrics from past roles that show how you improved platform adoption or reduced issue resolution time.
- Include a brief case study in your resume that demonstrates troubleshooting a complex AI‑related security incident.
- Research Witness AI’s core technology and be ready to discuss how intent‑based AI security differs from traditional monitoring.
- When negotiating, emphasize remote‑work flexibility and ask about professional development support for certifications.
- Watch for vague descriptions of on‑call duties; clarify expected hours and escalation processes early in the interview.
