As a Systems Engineer at Fortinet, you'll be a trusted technical advisor to our customers and account teams, working closely throughout the sales cycle to drive adoption of Fortinet's industry-leading security solutions. You'll play a key role from discovery and solution design through to proof-of-concept and deployment, helping Service Provider customers solve complex security and networking challenges with confidence.
What You'll Do

- Partner directly with telecommunications service providers and network operators to understand their business and technical requirements, translating these into effective Fortinet solutions.
- Design and position scalable, carrier-grade security architectures across networking, cloud and security environments.
- Deliver engaging product demonstrations, architecture workshops and whiteboarding sessions to both technical and executive audiences.
- Work cross-functionally with customers, internal account teams and Fortinet specialists to ensure successful solution delivery.
- Maintain deep expertise across Fortinet's portfolio, industry trends and emerging cybersecurity threats.
- Support RFI/RFP responses and ensure accurate technical documentation within Salesforce.
- Act as a trusted technical advisor, providing guidance and mentorship to colleagues and sharing best practices across the wider Systems Engineering organisation.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in a pre-sales engineering, technical consulting or customer-facing technical role.
- Experience supporting telecommunications service providers, network operators or other large-scale Service Provider environments.
- Knowledge of cybersecurity technologies including Network Security, SASE, SD-WAN, Zero Trust, SOC technologies and Cloud Security.
- An understanding of carrier-grade networking, multi-tenant architectures, MPLS/IP networking, managed security services or large-scale service delivery environments would be advantageous.
- Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences.
- A collaborative mindset and the ability to build trusted relationships with customers and internal stakeholders.
- A desire to contribute to a high-performing and inclusive team.
- Industry certifications such as Fortinet NSE/FCP, CISSP, CCNP or equivalent are an advantage.
