  • Analyze, qualify, and translate customer requirements and expectations into actionable feedback and priorities for Engineering

  • Serve as a key bridge between Sales and Engineering, consulting on technical and cybersecurity topics and helping align business needs with technical execution

  • Support low-level technical implementation and troubleshooting tasks when required

  • Provide market and customer insights to Engineering and Product teams to help shape platform direction

  • Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the customer journey, supporting onboarding, deployments, and technical success

Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, Pre-Sales, Technical Account Management, Professional Services, or a similar customer-facing technical role

  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity concepts, offensive security methodologies, and AI Agents

  • Familiarity with penetration testing workflows and attacker mindset; hands-on experience is a strong advantage

  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Experience supporting enterprise customers throughout the sales cycle

  • Strong client-facing communication and stakeholder management skills

  • Technical background with hands-on experience in software development or engineering (preferred stack: Python, JavaScript/React, GitHub/GitLab, PostgreSQL)

  • Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions and vice versa

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-ownership startup environment

  • Availability to work hours aligned with the US market (primarily West Coast / Americas time zones) as part of a customer-facing role

  • Flexibility and willingness to go beyond a narrow job scope when needed

  • Availability for occasional travel

  • Fluent English is mandatory, with the ability to confidently communicate complex technical concepts to enterprise customers and stakeholders

Nice to Have

  • Background in Cybersecurity, Military/Defense, or broader IT environments

  • Experience with Government Sales

  • Product Management exposure

  • Pipeline management experience

  • Customer Success or Support experience

  • Spanish is a strong plus
