ExtraHop
Overview
Remote ExtraHop is reinventing Network Detection and Response (NDR) to help enterprises and organizations stay ahead of emerging threats with unmatched network visibility, context, and control. Today’s attackers bypass traditional security defenses through identity-based entry, move invisibly across cloud, on-premise, and data center networks using encryption and trusted applications, and exploit and exit whenever they want. But all of that movement is visible on the network... if you can see it. By combining the power of NDR with Network Performance Management (NPM), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and forensics in a single, integrated platform, ExtraHop can decrypt and unlock complete packet-level data at wire speed, analyze and correlate it across all your networks, applications, devices, and users with cloud-scale machine learning, and provide a single interface to the SOC to detect, investigate, and remediate modern cyber risks in real time. As a Senior Sales Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the success of strategic sales engagements, bringing technical leadership, industry insight, and a deep understanding of customer needs to each opportunity. You will influence high-impact sales cycles and contribute directly to revenue growth and the company’s long-term success. In this senior-level position, you will lead the technical sales strategy, deliver advanced product demonstrations, and guide customers through complex solution architectures. You’ll mentor other sales engineers, collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to align customer feedback with roadmap priorities, and support executive-level discussions. Your deep understanding of our technology, market landscape, and customer challenges will allow you to design and advocate for customer-tailored solutions that drive measurable business outcomes. Additionally, you will proactively resolve pre-sales technical challenges and act as a trusted advisor to both internal teams and customer stakeholders throughout the buying journey.
