Application Engineer

Job Summary Job Summary This role is for an "Outcome Architect" rather than a traditional coder. This role sits at the intersection of robust Software Architecture and high-velocity, AI-augmented development ("Vibe Coding"). Instead of writing manual line-by-line code, you will leverage LLMs and AI tools (like Cursor and Copilot) to rapidly architect, prototype, and deploy the internal tools, automated labs, and environments used by our Global Sales Engineering (SE) teams to demonstrate the Cyber Ark Identity Security platform. Key Responsibilities Outcome-Driven Architecture: Design structurally sound, modular, and scalable internal products, POC toolkits, and field utilities. Rapid AI Delivery: Use AI agents and LLMs to move from concept to field-ready tools at record speed, focusing heavily on logic, security, and system flow. Full-Stack Ownership: Build and maintain global field operations tools, APIs, and interfaces using whichever language or technical approach best fits the problem. Cloud & Identity Automation: Architect automated, friction-free "lab-on-demand" solutions allowing SEs to deploy complex Identity Security scenarios (PAM, Secrets Management). Technical Bridge: Act as the technical expert for the Sales Engineering team, translating vague field requirements into functional technical assets. Qualifications Required Qualifications Strong foundation in software engineering with 5+ years of experience , system design, data flow, and building resilient, secure systems. Expert at utilizing AI interfaces (Cursor, Copilot, LLMs) as a primary development environment to write, debug, and refactor. Problem solver who can easily pick up or generate the required code (Python, JS, C#, etc.) to hit the architectural goal. Hands-on experience designing and deploying within AWS or Azure ecosystems. Skilled at automating infrastructure and workflows to create seamless internal experiences. Preferred Qualifications Experience in Sales Engineering, Dev Sec Ops, or Infrastructure/Tools roles. Deep understanding of Identity Security, Zero Trust, or Secrets Management. A strong curiosity about the future of autonomous AI development agents.
