- 3-7+ years in a Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or Pre-Sales role supporting US public sector sales motions (with federal experience strongly preferred)
- Strong technical foundation (cloud, DevOps, security, or developer tooling) and experience running demos, POCs, and technical evaluations
- Ability to explain complex concepts in a simple, clear way
- Hands-on mindset, able to troubleshoot and dig into technical workflows
- Comfortable in a highly consultative, strategic, non-standard sales motion
What you can expect
- Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.
- Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.
- Top-tier tech pay and equity.
- High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.
- Flexibility in working hours.

We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.
