About the Role:

The Principal Pre-Sales Consultant - (Embedded Solutions) is a partner-facing technical expert focused on enabling strategic partners to embed Gen Digital capabilities into their own products and experiences. This role blends pre-sales solutions consultancy, product integration to design and deliver SDK- and API-based solutions that drive adoption and revenue through strategic partnerships.

Operating at the intersection of partnerships, product management and engineering, this Specialist leads technical discovery, requirements definition, integration scoping, and solution design—particularly for Gen Digitals embedded experiences. Acting as a trusted advisor, you will guide partners from concept through evaluation and implementation, ensuring solutions are both technically robust and aligned with partner and Gen Digital roadmaps

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead pre-sales technical discovery with strategic partners to understand business objectives, user journeys, and technical environments; translate findings into clear requirements and integration options.

• Scope and define integration projects for SDK and API implementations, including effort estimates, delivery milestones, risks, constraints, and cross-functional dependencies.

• Design and document integration solutions leveraging Gen Digital SDKs, APIs, and platform services, outlining multiple integration options (e.g., native SDK, REST API, web components, SSO/OIDC flows, federated token exchange) and guiding partners to the best-fit approach.

• Collaborate closely with Product Management to validate feasibility, influence roadmaps, and prioritize features based on partner and market requirements for embedded and mobile solutions.

• Work hands-on with partner engineering teams during POCs, pilots, and technical evaluations, providing practical guidance on SDK installation, API consumption, error handling, observability, and performance considerations.

• Provide architectural input and technical leadership for mobile-centric integrations, including solutions that leverage Kotlin Multiplatform, Xcode/Swift, Android Studio, and modern JavaScript frameworks for hybrid or cross-platform experiences.

• Partner with identity and security stakeholders (internally and externally) to design and validate authentication and authorization flows using Identity Providers (IdP), OIDC/OAuth2, SAML, SSO, and federated token exchange.

• Act as the technical and product voice of the partner within Gen Digital—capturing and organizing requirements, documenting use cases, and providing structured feedback to Product, Engineering, and GTM teams.

• Present and position Gen Digital’s embedded capabilities in a pre-sales context to partner executives, product leaders, architects, and development teams, tailoring messaging and depth to each audience.

• Create and maintain partner-facing technical assets, including solution design documents, sequence diagrams, reference architectures, code samples, and integration playbooks.

• Support RFP/RFI processes with detailed technical responses, architecture proposals, and integration plans, coordinating across Legal, Security, Product, and Engineering as needed.

• Provide post-signature technical oversight during early implementation, ensuring that designs are correctly executed, risks are surfaced early, and expansion opportunities are identified.

• Stay current on partner strategies, market trends, and competitive offerings in identity, security, and embedded consumer services to inform solution design and roadmap discussions.

• Contribute to internal sales engineering enablement, sharing best practices, reusable patterns, and lessons learned across global teams.

• Travel as needed to support onsite partner workshops, events, and strategic integration sessions.

About you:

Education: BS degree or equivalent experience in computer science, software engineering, cybersecurity, identity protection, or a related technical field.

Experience: 5–10 years of experience in solutions engineering, pre-sales, technical consulting, or product management roles; at least 3+ years in a senior, customer/partner-facing technical capacity.

Proven experience designing and delivering embedded solutions leveraging SDKs and APIs, ideally in B2B2C or platform/partner ecosystems.

Skills:

• Strong background in requirements gathering, product scoping, and solution definition—able to write or contribute to PRDs, integration specs, and acceptance criteria.

• Hands-on familiarity with modern integration patterns, including RESTful APIs, webhooks, SDK-based integrations, SPAs, and secure auth flows (SSO, OIDC/OAuth2).

• Experience working with or alongside mobile development teams; familiarity with Kotlin Multiplatform, Xcode/Swift, Android Studio, and modern JavaScript stacks (e.g., React, Vue, or similar) is a strong plus.

• Understanding of Identity Platforms (IdP), OIDC/OAuth2, SAML, SSO, and federated token exchange and how they apply to partner and consumer experiences.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical discovery workshops, synthesize input from multiple stakeholders, and convert it into clear, actionable technical and product requirements.
