About Our Client

About the Role

This is a high-impact, early-stage builder role where you will lead the technical side of the sales cycle and help customers understand the value of the platform without overexposing proprietary capabilities.

• Translate customer challenges into clear, outcome-focused technical solutions
• Partner with Sales to support opportunities from qualification through technical close
• Deliver tailored technical presentations and solution walkthroughs
• Support technical evaluations, RFP/RFI responses, and solution design
• Provide structured feedback to Product and Engineering to support roadmap decisions
• Act as the technical point of contact throughout the pre-sales lifecycle

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in a cybersecurity space within sales engineering, infrastructure, or related technical roles.
• Experience supporting mid-market or enterprise sales cycles in a Sales Engineer or pre-sales capacity
• Proven ability to support and influence revenue growth, including large and complex deals
• Solid familiarity with DDoS attacks concepts, threat monitoring, and AI security(without requiring deep specialisation)
• Prior experience working with or supporting startup or high-growth environments
• Strong ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with cloud-based environments and modern tooling preferred
• UK-based, fully remote, and comfortable working across time zones

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of a high-growth startup, playing a key role in shaping success within a cutting-edge cybersecurity ecosystem. If you’re a successful applicant, a member of our team will reach out for a confidential conversation.
