About the role
FireMon delivers Network Security Policy Control for the Modern Enterprise.
Most enterprises run firewalls from multiple vendors alongside cloud security groups and microsegmentation platforms, and no single console can say whether it all works together. We believe policy is the control plane for network security: it defines what the environment should do, and the infrastructure carries it out. FireMon gives security teams one place to see, govern, and prove that their policy is doing what they intend, across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
That mission shapes how we work. At FireMon, being proactive is rewarded, and your work has a direct line to the product our customers rely on and to the success of the business. You’ll share ideas, collaborate across departments, and learn parts of the company beyond your own role.

You will be responsible for engaging with customers via chat, meeting software, email, and phone to work toward a technical resolution of FireMon products.
