Challenges You Will Solve

A Sales Engineer understands that while prospective customers share many characteristics, each is unique and requires a carefully constructed solution to help them achieve their specific security goals. We are looking for a sales engineer who is able to discern where a customer is on their security maturity journey and assess whether or not the Red Canary solution fits into their current project plans and organizational needs.

In this position you will have the opportunity to creatively identify opportunities for improvement and take the reins on implementing solutions. 


Much of your day-to-day work consists of pre-sales interactions as you support a team of Account Executives during presentations and proof of concepts.

  • Willingly push back on customers when it is in their best interest; comfortable with difficult conversations 
  • Listen first and are adept at working across internal and external teams with competing priorities
  • Focus on the needs of prospects and be their internal advocate, looking for and are excited about forging a path forward when none exists

What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years customer facing/sales engineering experience
  • Knowledge of security industry, including competitors, market needs and trends
  • Technical knowledge of networking and endpoint security concepts
  • Demonstrate a firm understanding of primary security tenants including: confidentiality, integrity, availability, role-based access control, segmentation, etc.
  • Familiarity with fundamental cloud infrastructure concepts: virtual private clouds (VPS), compute, elasticity, and the storage, processing, and securing of data
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and work collaboratively in a rapidly growing and changing organization 
  • Strong presentation, verbal communication and interpersonal skills, comfortable working with day-to-day technical practitioners as well as those at C-Level
  • Understanding of key sales activities
  • Skilled with Windows and Linux command-line and are comfortable with configuring systems, troubleshooting, and interacting with scripts or have experience with scripting languages like Python, PowerShell, Ruby, etc.
  • Practical knowledge of enterprise endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions including the ability to administer and configure EDRs, understand metadata and its value in delivering visibility to organizations and are driven to proactively hunt through large endpoint datasets in order to find activity of interest

Candidates can be located in or around the Southern California Area

Compensation range is $92,568-$123,424 base, plus commission for an estimated on-target earnings of $123,424-$164,565 OTE. This role is eligible for a grant of stock options, subject to the approval of the company's board of directors.

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
