Role Description

Cloud security is becoming increasingly important as organizations are accelerating their cloud migration. Britive is at the forefront of the emerging cloud security industry with the only modern privileged access management platform that provides unified Privileged Access Visibility, Dynamic Privilege Management, and Secrets Governance across cloud infrastructures, platforms & SaaS.

As an experienced Sales Engineer, you will combine deep technical fluency with a passion for customer success. You will thrive in complex enterprise environments, presenting to a CISO and whiteboarding an API integration with a DevOps team. You will guide prospects through every stage of a technical sale—from initial discovery through proof-of-concept and close.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery calls to assess prospect environments, identify pain points around privileged access, identity sprawl, and cloud security posture, and determine product/client fit.
• Deliver compelling standard and custom product demonstrations tailored to prospect-specific environments, including multi-cloud architectures, IdP integrations (Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity), and DevOps workflows.
• Own and execute Proof-of-Concept (POC) engagements end-to-end—defining success criteria, configuring test use cases, guiding customer implementation, and driving to a technical win.
• Proactively evangelize the capabilities of Britive’s platform, including JIT/ephemeral access, Zero Standing Privileges, and unified identity security across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to translate field feedback into product improvements and maintain deep, current knowledge of the platform.
• Partner with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle to develop technical strategies, respond to RFPs and security questionnaires, and remove technical blockers.
• Build strong relationships as a trusted technical advisor, ensuring customers maximize the value of their Britive investment and creating strong references, renewal opportunities, and upsell potential.
• Continuously gather competitive intelligence and market feedback to inform positioning and go-to-market strategies.

• Demonstrated experience with Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM), including hands-on familiarity with at least one enterprise IdP: Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Okta, or Ping Identity.
• Strong technical consultative selling skills with a disciplined sales process and the ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise evaluations.
• Knowledge of additional programming or scripting languages (e.g., Python, Java, Shell) and experience working with REST APIs and developer toolchains.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling such as Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, or similar.
• Familiarity with Zero Trust principles, least-privilege access models, and security frameworks relevant to multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
• Prior experience working at an early-stage or growth-stage technology company; comfort with ambiguity and a startup pace.
• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage technical and executive audiences equally.
• Experience working with CRM and sales enablement software (e.g., Salesforce, Clari, Gong).
• Ability to travel and collaborate globally across geographies and cultures.
