Sales Engineer

About The Role & Hiring Manager

I joined Zenity because the opportunity to define an entirely new security category was too compelling to pass up. Securing AI agents at scale is one of the most consequential challenges in cybersecurity right now, and the window to lead that conversation is narrow. Zenity has the right combination of culture, passion, and technical focus to own it and I wanted to be part of building that from the ground up, at exactly the right moment..

As a leader, I value ownership, direct feedback, and collaboration. Our team operates with urgency and high standards, and I expect real ownership of your deals, your craft, and your development, and proactive communication when something's off, with a deal, a customer, or a process. No surprises."

This role plays a critical part in our next phase of growth. You’ll own the presales technical motion, partnering closely with Account Executives to drive evaluations, influence deal strategy, and help customers understand the value of AI Agent Security.
