Sales Engineer - Southeast

Menlo Security is the leader in Browser Security for human and agentic work forces. Our mission is to enable humans and agents to connect, communicate, and collaborate securely, without compromise. The Menlo Browser Security Platform protects organizations from cyberattacks by stopping threats across the web, documents, and email before they reach the user. With Menlo Agent Runtime Security (MARS), that protection now extends to the AI agents working alongside every employee.

Menlo Security is trusted by major global businesses, including Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, to protect their most valuable asset, their data, and is backed by top-tier investors.

The Menlo Security Sales Engineer is a customer-focused, technical sales professional who provides guidance and support to prospective and current customers across the region. Partnering closely with Regional Sales Managers and channel partners, the Sales Engineer scopes, recommends, and demonstrates security-focused solutions that map to each customer's business needs and budget. Acting in a consultative capacity, they serve as a trusted technical resource for account teams, partners, and customers alike.
