About zerothird

At zerothird (zerothird.com), we’re building the future of secure communications. As a fast-scaling quantum technology company, we specialize in entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution (eQKD) — the most advanced, physically unbreakable encryption method available today. Based on Nobel-Prize winning research, our systems enable critical infrastructure, telecom providers, and enterprise customers to protect their networks against both today’s threats and tomorrow’s quantum attacks.

To accelerate our market growth, we’re seeking a Technical Pre-Sales Engineer who understands both the world of IT security and the practical challenges of modern networking. You’ll act as a key interface between customers, partners, and our internal product development team — shaping the next generation of quantum-secure infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

As a Technical Pre-Sales Engineer, you will work closely with our sales and engineering teams to understand customer needs, design high-level secure network architectures, and ensure our quantum products are integrated effectively.

You will collaborate directly with customers, partners, and integrators to align on technical concepts and translate these into concrete solution designs. Your insights from the field will also help steer our product roadmap to meet real-world demands.

Solution Design & Architecture

• Translate customer requirements into scalable and secure eQKD-based network designs
• Define integration strategies for QKD with classical IT security and telecom infrastructure
• Lead technical workshops and discussions with CISOs, network architects, and system integrators
