We’re one of the fastest‑growing private companies and a leading player in a massive, fast‑moving market. With a global workforce, we’re remote‑first and grounded in a simple idea: software is a people business.

Why You'll Love This Role

As a Solutions Engineer, you'll help customers solve hard data problems in complex environments, with real depth in how security teams work.

You will help customers understand their environment, define the right success criteria, and build confidence in an approach that works in practice rather than on a slide. That takes both sides of the job: leading discovery and connecting technical capability to business value, and bringing genuine depth in data architecture, integrations, and environment design.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…**

• Lead technical discovery to understand a customer's environment, requirements, constraints, and success criteria.

• Design customer-specific solutions that combine parts of the platform to fit real architectures and business outcomes.

• Own POV and POC execution end to end, keeping the evaluation tied to agreed success criteria.

• Build credibility directly with security practitioners, including analysts, detection engineers, and security operations leaders, in conversations about their workflow and not just their data pipeline.

• Handle most technical questions and objections yourself, pulling in specialists for edge cases and the hardest evaluations.

• Partner with your Regional Sales Manager on account strategy, opportunity planning, and technical win strategy.

• Build technical champions inside accounts, and expand relationships beyond the first champion when the decision requires it.

• Run the technical sales process with discipline, including CRM hygiene, MEDDPICC alignment, milestones, and follow-through.

• Contribute your expertise to other teammates on your regional SE team.Up to 30% Travel
