Material Security is hiring a Solutions Engineer on our Go To Market Team to run the technical side of the sales process for our prospects. This is a customer-facing security role. You will run technical discovery, tailored demos, evaluations, and help buyers understand how Material fits their environment and why it matters.

ResponsibilitiesExternal 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.

  • Use good judgment about what should be a quick fix, what should become a team standard, and what should stay manual.

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.
