About your team and your mission

The sales engineering team is recognized as the technical partners for the Account Executive on the most complex aspects of the sale. They ensure we get the technical win during PoCs and act as trusted advisors by our prospects and customers. This is a crucial team in the success of our business expansion!

Joining the European team, you will be working with another Sales Engineer and 2 Solutions Engineers (technical experts in deploying the solution), all based in France. You will work closely with the European sales team (8 Account Executives), nurturing and supporting an extended sales cycle, explaining and demonstrating our platform to numerous stakeholders within the largest companies (our main focus are Enterprise accounts), working hand in hand to facilitate complex relationships.

The main responsibilities will be:

• Working closely with Account Executives in pre-sales period, helping to close Enterprise deals by acting as GitGuardian’s technical voice & product expert.
• Demonstrating GitGuardian’s value proposition to our prospects and customers: security, infrastructure and development teams, from the engineers to the C-Level.
• Providing support for PoCs, performing technical product demos and soothing concerns.
• Architecting and building out custom workflows for our prospective customers to show them the value of our product and how it will fit into their environment.
• Post-sales, answering level 1 support needs of your existing Enterprise customers.
• Partnering with the Marketing and Product teams to create all the technical collaterals needed for a better understanding of our solutions and of the market’s needs.
• Being the customers’ voice towards internal product and engineering teams.

Joining GitGuardian is a great opportunity to join an international team and to be exposed to very large international customers! We focus on innovation with the continuous development of new products as well as AI adoption for every team and every product or internal tools. You'll find a stimulating environment to be consistently engaged!
