Sales Engineer, NG SIEM

What You'll Do:

As a Sales Engineer, you'll be the face of the CrowdStrike Platform—including Next-Gen SIEM, LogScale, Fusion SOAR, Onum, and Charlotte AI—for prospective customers. Working alongside our sales team, you'll take ownership of the technical relationship through the sales cycle.

You'll also maintain that relationship with the customer as they discover what the CrowdStrike Platform can do for them, expand their use across our product portfolio, and provide feedback to our Product Management team.

You'll become a trusted advisor by providing technical value in your interactions with prospective customers, answering technical questions, demonstrating capabilities across our product suite, and laying out a comprehensive technical vision that addresses their logging, SIEM, SOAR, data pipeline, and AI-assisted security operations needs.

You'll be working closely with the teams in sales, leadership, marketing, support, customer success, and engineering. In particular, you'll be a critical part of the sales team; providing feedback on deal progress, uncovering the wants and needs of prospects, and translating that to tangible value from the CrowdStrike Platform, ultimately bringing more customers to CrowdStrike.

In addition to guiding prospective customers through their discovery of the CrowdStrike Platform, you'll also play an integral part in defining and executing on our go-to-market strategy - exploring new use cases, integrations, partnerships, and cross-product synergies. In other words, your success in this role will have a significant impact on the expansion of the CrowdStrike Platform worldwide.
