About the Role


We're partnering with a client in the cloud security industry that's looking to add a Sales Engineer to their growing go-to-market team. In this role, you'll work alongside Account Executives to handle technical discovery, deliver tailored demos, and guide prospects through proof-of-concepts. The Sales Engineer will act as a trusted advisor to enterprise buyers, helping them connect technical capabilities to business outcomes and compliance requirements.


This is a hybrid pre-sales role based in one of the listed metro areas, with a strong focus on identity security, cloud workload protection, and threat detection. You don't need to be a developer, but you should be hands-on in customer environments and comfortable explaining security trade-offs to both technical teams and executives.



What You'll Do




  • Support the sales process from discovery through close in partnership with AEs.




  • Lead product demos and technical deep-dives across:




    • Identity & Access Management (IAM) - SSO, MFA, lifecycle management.




    • Cloud Security (CNAPP/CSPM) - securing workloads across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform.




    • Threat Detection (SIEM/XDR) - log ingestion, detection rules, incident response workflows.






  • Build and manage customer proof-of-concepts (POCs) that demonstrate value quickly.




  • Translate technical features into compliance and audit benefits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, NIST).




  • Share customer feedback with product and engineering teams.




  • Stay current on security trends, cloud architectures, and regulatory changes.





What We're Looking For




  • 3+ years in pre-sales, solutions engineering, or technical consulting, ideally with a cybersecurity vendor.




  • Hands-on expertise in at least one of the following: IAM (Okta, Ping, Azure AD), CNAPP/CSPM (Prisma, Wiz, Orca), or SIEM/XDR (Splunk, Chronicle, Elastic, Cortex).




  • Strong grasp of modern enterprise infrastructure (cloud, containers, SaaS integrations).




  • Ability to connect product features to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP).




  • Excellent presentation skills with both technical engineers and executives.




  • Self-starter with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.





Why Join




  • Base salary: ~$140K + OTE




  • Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k) with company match.




  • 18 days PTO and paid holidays, plus flexible sick leave.




  • Hybrid schedule in one of the listed metro areas.




  • Regular team events and offsites to strengthen culture and collaboration.
