HYBRID WFH - Associate Security Engineer (Presales & Deployment)
Kollab Pty Ltd Mandaluyong Full-time
The role
The Associate Security Engineer sits at the intersection of pre-sales and delivery. You'll work alongside our Solution Architects and Lead Engineers to scope opportunities, run product demos and PoCs, and then deploy what we sold. You'll touch the full breadth of our partner stack and build hands-on expertise across multiple security domains — not just one product.
You do not need to know our specific products on day one. If you've administered any enterprise security tool — Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, Zscaler, Palo Alto, Cisco Umbrella, Ping, ForgeRock, F5, Cloudflare, Splunk, Sentinel, Qualys, Tenable — we can map that experience onto our stack quickly.What matters is that you've done the work, not whose logo was on the dashboard.
What you'll do- Pre-sales support: assist senior engineers in scoping conversations, technical demos, and proof-of-concept exercises with prospective customers
- Solution design assistance: help draft architecture diagrams, configuration designs, and statements of work under senior architect guidance
- Deployments: lead and co-lead tenant build-outs, integrations, and migrations across our partner stack (EDR, SASE, IAM, WAF, SIEM, ITDR, NDR, EASM)
- Configuration and hardening: apply our standard baselines, customize for customer requirements, document the result
- Customer enablement: run training and knowledge-transfer sessions for customer admins post-deployment
- Runbook authorship: every deployment improves the next one — you'll write and update reference configurations, runbooks, and change logs
- Escalation coordination: work with vendor SE/TAM teams when issues need OEM-level support
- 1–3 years of hands-on work in a security tools role — could be a customer admin, a partner/SI engineer, or another vendor's deployment team
- Hands-on exposure to at least one of these domains (one is enough — we'll build out the rest):
- Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR / XDR)
- SASE / SWG / Secure Web Gateway / CASB
- Identity & Access Management / SSO / MFA
- Web Application Firewall, CDN, DDoS protection
- SIEM, log management, detection engineering
- Vulnerability management / EASM
- Active Directory security / ITDR
- Network Detection & Response
- Solid networking and OS fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, Windows/Linux/macOS basics
- Customer-facing comfort: you can stand in front of a client room and explain what you're doing without panicking
- Documentation discipline: you write down what you did and why, because the next engineer is going to inherit it
- Any vendor certification at associate/professional level: CrowdStrike CCFA, Netskope NCSP, Okta Professional, Akamai WSA, Google SecOps Practitioner, Microsoft SC-200, Fortinet NSE 4, Splunk Power User, etc.
- Cloud platform familiarity — GCP, AWS, or Azure
- Scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash
- API and IaC exposure (Postman, Terraform, Ansible)
- Experience presenting to non-technical stakeholders
- Multi-vendor mastery: you'll work across the leading platforms in the industry — not just one. This is the fastest way in PH to build a marketable, cross-stack security engineering profile
- Funded vendor certifications across CrowdStrike, Netskope, Okta, Akamai, Google Security, Semperis, and more. Exam vouchers reimbursed on pass
- Mentorship from our management and leadership team to hone your soft skills and grow professionally
- Career path: Associate → Engineer → Senior Engineer → Principal Engineer → Solution Architect. We have a defined ladder and we promote from within
- HMO with dependent coverage, leave credits, government-mandated benefits, 13th month
- Hybrid work setup with modern tooling
