Red Canary, a Zscaler company, monitors an enterprise's environment to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats so they can focus on their mission. Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution is a unique blend of human expertise and security, protecting organizations from modern adversaries as their teams work remotely, move to the cloud, and adopt new cybersecurity and IT technologies.

We are looking for a Senior Sales Engineer to join our Sales Engineering team in Denver, Colorado or San Francisco, California, reporting to the Senior Manager, Sales Engineering. You understand that while prospective customers share many characteristics, each is unique and requires a carefully constructed solution to help them achieve their specific security goals. You will discern where a customer is on their security maturity journey and assess whether the Red Canary solution fits into their current project plans and organizational needs.

• Advocate for the customer and ensure they are always heard, understood, and supported.
• Create and deliver custom presentations that capture the problems, solutions, and overall progress throughout the proof‑of‑concept journey.
• Facilitate interactive, informative, and tailored proof‑of‑concepts.
• Demonstrate a firm understanding of primary security tenets including confidentiality, integrity, availability, and role‑based access control.
• Maintain a big‑picture view of the solution, understanding both the technology and how the solution fits into the overall business problem that Red Canary is solving.

• You thrive in ambiguity. You’re comfortable building the path as you walk it. You see ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high‑level strategy and hands‑on execution.
• You are a problem‑solver. You love running toward the challenges because you are laser‑focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
• You are a high‑trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
• You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.

• 6+ years of sales engineering experience.
• Knowledge of the security industry, including competitors, market needs, and trends.
• Strong technical knowledge of networking, identity, cloud, and endpoint security.

• Relevant certifications such as CISSP,…
