- Deliver compelling technical demos tailored to executive, practitioner, and platform audiences.
- Position Vega as a strategic alternative to legacy SIEM, security analytics, and data platforms, addressing scale, cost, and operational complexity.
- Support executive briefings, customer QBRs, and architecture reviews with senior security and IT leadership.
- Provide product feedback based on real-world customer use cases to influence roadmap and go-to-market strategy.
- Maintain accurate technical opportunity notes, evaluation plans, and PoV outcomes in Salesforce and internal systems.
- Stay current on evolving security analytics trends, cloud architectures, and AI-driven SOC workflows.
What You Will Bring
- 5+ years of experience in a Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or Pre-Sales role within cybersecurity or enterprise software.
- Strong technical background in modern security architectures, including SIEM, XDR, security data lakes, log management, and cloud-scale analytics.
- Experience supporting complex enterprise sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and long evaluation periods.
- Experience in high growth, fast paced environments
- Ability to engage credibly with CISOs, VP-level security leaders, architects, and hands-on practitioners.
- Proven ability to design and explain scalable architectures across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP environments.
- Comfort leading technical evaluations, PoVs, and hands-on workshops in enterprise environments.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate deep technical concepts into business value.
- Strong collaboration skills and a team-first mindset when working with Sales and Product.
- Willingness to travel regionally for customer meetings and strategic account engagement.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience deploying, operating, or migrating SIEM platforms at scale.
