The Role
As a Senior Sales Engineer at Native, you'll be the technical powerhouse supporting our sales team — bridging the gap between innovative cloud security solutions and our customers' real-world needs.

Key Responsibilities
- Partner with sales teams to qualify leads, conduct technical discovery calls, and deliver compelling product demonstrations tailored to customer pain points.

- Act as a trusted technical advisor, providing deep expertise on cloud security best practices, compliance, and risk mitigation.
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to relay customer feedback and influence roadmap priorities.
- Support RFPs, security questionnaires, and deal reviews to ensure technical alignment and accelerate sales cycles.
- Stay current with industry trends in cloud security and contribute to internal knowledge sharing and training.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience as a Sales Engineer or Solutions Architect in cybersecurity or cloud infrastructure, preferably in enterprise sales.
- Strong technical foundation in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and security technologies (IAM, CSPM, CNAPP).
- Proven track record of supporting or closing deals through technical expertise, ideally in a SaaS or security software context.
- Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Startup experience is a strong plus.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and equity in a high-growth startup.
- Flexible hybrid work model with remote options for the right candidate.
- Comprehensive health benefits, unlimited PTO, and professional development opportunities.
- Collaborative culture with regular team events, hackathons, and direct impact on product direction.
- The opportunity to work with world-class talent in a mission-driven environment tackling one of the biggest challenges in modern IT.
