<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>About Oasis Security</strong></p> <p>At Oasis Security, we're redefining how enterprises manage access in the age of AI.

You'll be the trusted technical counterpart to the SEs and architects inside our partners (GSIs, VARs, and MSPs), the person their teams call when a customer POC gets hard, and the voice translating partner-field reality back into our product roadmap.</p> <p>If you've built channel technical motions before, want to do it again from the ground up, and want to do it at the company defining the next major category in cybersecurity - we'd like to talk.</p> <p><strong>Location & Travel:</strong> Central Time Zone preferred.
