We’re on a quest to enrich our team with individuals who bring more than just expertise - we want trailblazers who have navigated the realms we’re venturing into. Your experience in this new field won't just be valued; it will be the cornerstone of our journey towards innovation.At the core of this is our people. It’s important to inspire, support, and enable one another, so we've chosen a diverse group of talented, compassionate, and fun people to work with.

If you see yourself as a great match, we’d love nothing more than for you to join us at the forefront of innovation as our new Sales Engineer!
What You'll Do:
- As a Sales Engineer, you’ll be the face of LogScale and NG-SIEM for prospective customers. Working alongside our sales team, you’ll take ownership of the technical relationship through the sales cycle.
- You’ll also maintain that relationship with the customer as they discover what LogScale and NG-SIEM can do for them, expand their use, and provide feedback to our Product Management team.
- You’ll become a trusted advisor by providing technical value in your interactions with prospective customers, answering technical questions, demonstrating capabilities, and laying out a technical vision of LogScale and NG-SIEM. In addition, you are expected to act as a LogScale subject matter expert, assisting with internal enablement on related platforms such as Falcon Search Repository.
- You’ll be working closely with the teams in sales, leadership, marketing, support, customer success, and engineering.
