About this Role

As the Head of Sales Engineering at Trustmi, you’ll play a critical role in accelerating growth by leading the technical sales strategy that showcases the unique power of our cybersecurity platform.

You’ll own the pre-sales technical vision, guide enterprise customers through complex buying journeys, and work cross-functionally with Product, Sales, and Marketing to refine our go-to-market motion. This is a highly visible leadership role with direct impact on revenue, customer success, and market expansion.

    • Drive day-to-day execution across the SE team, including 1:1s, coaching, process adherence, and timely support of sales initiatives
  • Team Leadership and Development
    • Hire, develop, and retain top-tier Sales Engineers
    • Conduct regular assessments of technical and soft skills to ensure team members can deliver high-impact pre-sales engagements
    • Foster a high-performance culture while mentoring SEs to grow their careers
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
    • Act as a key liaison between Sales, Product, and Marketing to relay customer feedback, influence roadmap decisions, and refine positioning
    • Partner with Sales leadership to optimize the technical sales process and drive deal velocity
  • Customer Engagement and Execution
    • Operate in a player/coach capacity—supporting strategic deals through tailored product demos, POV execution, and solution storytelling
    • Ensure the SE team delivers consistent value across all sales campaigns—including competitive differentiation, value-based presentation materials, and credible technical validation
Requirements
  • Minimum of 5 years SE leadership experience
  • Proven track record of managing individuals and teams to high expectations & overachievement of goals
  • Proven ability of scaling a team, including the creation of process, enablement artifacts and implementations of systems to track success
  • Strong presentation skills and a good communicator
  • Ability to train a large team on best practices
  • Proven self-starter with a motivated attitude to be able to manage multiple tasks, projects, and responsibilities simultaneously
  • Good knowledge of cybersecurity and/or email security landscape (eg; MX Records, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, MTAs,  Secure Email Gateways, SIEM, SOAR, endpoint tools)
  • Great product intuition and ability to interface/communicate with customers and product team:
  • Skilled at enterprise, consultative sales
  • Data-driven approach to decision-making, with experience in sales engineering performance analysis and reporting.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
