• Present our concepts in client meetings and demonstrate how we deliver real value with network observability, automation, and intelligent analysis.
• Integrate relevant data sources and protocols (e.g., Telemetry, SNMP, NetFlow, Syslog) and make performance, anomalies, and bottlenecks transparent.
• Incorporate OT/IoT Security as a second focus: Asset Visibility, Risk/Vulnerability Transparency, and – where appropriate – segmentation approaches in OT/IoT-related environments.
• Work hands-on with tools/platforms such as Kentik, NetBrain, and LogicMonitor, as well as in the OT/IoT context with Armis, Sematicon, and Akamai Guardicore, and integrate them seamlessly into client environments.
• Take on tasks in IT projects, coordinate technical steps, and ensure a structured implementation until go-live.
• Additionally, support clients with questions, conduct training sessions, and accompany the support around our solutions.

• Initial experience with monitoring/observability or automation platforms (e.g., Kentik, NetBrain, LogicMonitor, or similar) or willingness to learn.
• Ideally, you are familiar with OT/IoT Security topics (e.g., Asset Visibility, Risk/Vulnerability Transparency, Segmentation) – or eager to delve into these areas.
• Experience with Linux systems and/or scripting (e.g., Python, Bash/Shell) is a plus.
• Service-oriented demeanor, clear communication, and a willingness to work with clients on sustainable technical solutions.
• Analytical thinking, structured work approach, and hands-on mentality are your strengths.
• Very good German and English skills, as well as willingness to travel.
