About the job
Responsibilities
External Responsibilities
- Lead technical discovery calls that surface real pain, current environment, buying criteria, and blockers.
- Run product demos that connect features to customer risk, workflow, and business impact.
- Own or support evaluations and proof-of-value work with clear success criteria.
- Handle objections with clarity and good judgment.
- Partner with AEs, product, engineering, design, marketing, and customer success throughout the sales cycle.
- Turn field feedback into clear product, positioning, and enablement input.
Internal Responsibilities
- Spot GTM process issues that waste time, hide signal, or create unnecessary manual work.
- Build lightweight automations, workflows, scripts, or internal tools that help the team move faster.
- Improve systems across CRM, outbound tooling, demo and POC setup, Google Workspace, and adjacent GTM workflows.
- Turn repeated SE work into reusable assets, templates, and operating guides.
- Document what you build so other people can use it and improve it.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in a customer-facing security role such as Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Security Consultant.
- Hands-on experience with cybersecurity products and real environments, especially Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
- Strong discovery, demo, and evaluation skills.
- Clear communication with both technical admins and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfort using APIs, scripts, spreadsheets, no-code tools, or AI-assisted workflows to remove manual work.
- A track record of building something useful for teammates, customers, or internal operators.
- Good instincts on scope. You know when to ship the fast version and when to slow down.
- Curiosity, low ego, and a willingness to say, "I don't know yet, but I'll figure it out."
- Genuine interest in email security, cloud security, and how modern teams actually buy and run these tools.
Nice to Have
- Experience using AI assisted Software Development tools
- Experience supporting SMB or MSP buyers.
- Experience with email security, post-breach response, or adjacent security categories.
- Experience creating reusable demo environments, eval tooling, or internal workflow automation.
- Experience working in an early-stage or fast-moving startup environment.
Compensation: $175,000 - $200,000 annual OTE, 80/20 split.
