We work closely with customers to design and deliver security solutions that are implementable, measurable, and aligned to real operational needs.

We are looking to add a technically strong, customer-facing Pre-Sales Engineer who can lead discovery, shape solutions, run demos/POCs, and support proposals—while partnering closely with sales and delivery teams.

As a Pre-Sales Engineer (Sales Engineer – Technical), you will be the technical owner during the pre-sales cycle—supporting customer engagements from the first meeting through solution design, demos/POCs, proposal development, and handover to delivery.

Deliver technical presentations, workshops, product/service walkthroughs, and proof-of-concepts (POCs)

Support sales with technical qualification, objection handling, and solution positioning

Develop technical content for proposals and RFP responses (architecture diagrams, solution narratives, assumptions/dependencies)

Act as the technical liaison between customers, sales, and delivery to ensure clean handovers and scope integrity

Stay current on cybersecurity technologies, threat landscape trends, and best practices relevant to customer engagements

2–4+ years of experience in a Pre-Sales / Sales Engineer / Solutions Engineer role within cybersecurity

Strong foundational knowledge across core domains: networking, endpoints, identity, cloud basics, and security logging/monitoring

Excellent communication and presentation skills, comfortable engaging both technical and business stakeholders

Ability to translate technical concepts into business value (risk reduction, operational improvement, compliance alignment)

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Hands-on exposure to any of the following:

Experience preparing customer-facing solution documentation and responding to RFPs

Relevant certifications such as Security+, CCNA, AZ-900, AWS CCP, or vendor-specific certifications

Strong base salary with deal-based incentives tied to impact

Balanced hybrid/WFH model aligned with customer workshops and demos

Dedicated annual budget for cybersecurity learning and certifications

Work on real-world customer challenges across modern security stacks and services

Direct access to delivery teams and leadership to design realistic, win-worthy solutions
