Solutions Architect, Cloud Identity Security

Silverfort is on a mission to bring identity security everywhere – to every human, machine, and AI agent, both on-prem and in the cloud. Our unique technology secures identities & access at runtime, in ways that weren’t possible before. With the broadest identity security platform in the market, trusted by more than 1,000 customers including many Fortune 100 companies, Silverfort is uniquely positioned to lead the fast-growing identity security category.

Joining Silverfort means becoming part of a fast-moving team with a culture of innovation and collaboration that goes above and beyond to help our customers and each other, on a journey to reshape the future of identity security.

We are looking for a Solutions Architect, Cloud Identity Security to join Silverfort Research. In this role, you will be the bridge between our cloud platform, our sales and customer success teams, and our customers, proving what the platform finds in real tenant data and turning every finding into a better product. This is a new role and a new function at Silverfort, and you will design it from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Win POCs with our sales engineers, working the tenant data hands-on in SQL, Python and APIs to surface toxic combinations, over-privileged non-human identities and exposed AI agents, and packaging what works into query libraries and POC kits
• Represent Silverfort with strategic customers, leading technical calls, workshops and roadmap sessions with identity teams, cloud architects and CISOs
• Unblock deployments with customer success and engineering on the hardest deployment and data-collection issues, and get the field ready for every new capability
• Make every finding stand up: treat each one like a research claim, reproduce it, rule out false positives, then turn it into briefings and remediation plans a CISO can act on
• Close the loop with product management and R&D, turning field evidence into fixes engineers can ship across exposure logic, detections and integration gaps, and prototyping them where you can
• Research what’s next, exploring new identity attack paths across cloud, SaaS and AI platforms, such as OAuth consent abuse, federated trust and agent permissions
• Know the platform cold: collectors, data model, scoring and roadmap, so every customer conversation is grounded in what Silverfort delivers today

• Strong SQL and Python, with hands-on comfort across large data models and vendor APIs, and a habit of reading docs, logs, and code to learn how systems really work
• A track record of owning enterprise POCs from kickoff to technical win
• Clear written and spoken English, effective with engineers and with CISOs alike
• Hands-on use of AI coding and reasoning tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, and similar) in real production work, using them to ship faster and to higher quality
• Experience with ISPM, NHI security, DSPM, CIEM, SSPM, or ITDR products -Advantages
• Published research, conference talks, CVEs,, or open-source tools in identity or cloud security -Advantages
