Job Title: Technical Support Engineer (AI Security Products)

About Us:

Witness AI invented intent-based AI security. While legacy tools monitor what users say to AI, we understand what they're trying to accomplish - stopping jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and shadow AI before damage occurs. We provide visibility into how employees and systems use AI - capturing prompts, responses, and agent activity - so security teams can monitor risk, investigate incidents, and enforce guardrails in real time.

Assist with the deployment and configuration of security products, providing post-deployment technical assistance.
Monitor, analyze, and report on support metrics, identifying opportunities for process improvements and training needs.
Stay updated on the latest cybersecurity trends, threats, and technologies to provide expert-level support and guidance.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
