As the Manager, Solutions Engineering, you'll lead a team supporting commercial customers and channel-led opportunities across North America. You'll help customers solve complex identity and security challenges by guiding technical discovery, shaping solutions, and partnering with Sales throughout the buying process.

How we're using AI todayAcross GTM, we're transforming the way we work with AI. We expect every seller, CSM, and team member to become a power user, using it daily to work smarter and move faster. AI is already embedded in how we operate - from real-time coaching that sharpens how we sell and interact with customers, to surfacing insights that help us anticipate needs - creating more time for meaningful customer engagement. If you're excited to reshape how you think, make decisions, and drive growth with AI, you'll feel right at home here. To us, this means we do ask that you join live interviews without using AI tools so we can get to know how you communicate, solve problems, and collaborate with others.
This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

Our approach to workWe recognize the power of both in person collaboration and remote work.

We recognize that certain roles benefit from regular, in-person connection to support collaboration, team cohesion, and customer engagement.
For all roles, occasional travel may be required. This includes things like: department-wide offsites, quarterly department meetings and periodic customer events. These events are typically held in varying locations across Canada, USA and/or EMEA. In leadership roles, you can expect to travel once per month on average.
