NodeZero has been adopted by organizations of all sizes, from small educational institutions to government agencies and Global 100 enterprises. It is used by ITOps/SecOps teams, consulting pentesters, and MSSPs and MSPs.

We are a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools, false positives resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, "checkbox" security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Collectively, we are a team of learn it alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results.

As a remote first company, we require minimum 25Mbps consumer grade broadband connection.

We're looking for a Sales Engineer to partner closely with our Account Executives and help growing organizations understand the technical and business value of our platform. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-velocity environments, can simplify complex security concepts, and enjoys building trusted relationships with customers.

This role will support our Eastern Canada territory, partnering with customers across the region and aligning closely with our regional sales leadership.

• Deliver tailored demos and PoVs
• Run compelling, outcome-driven demos and proof-of-value engagements that clearly connect NodeZero's capabilities to customer risk reduction and business impact.
• Maintain continuity through the customer lifecycle
• Stay connected with key accounts to track evolving needs, ensure continued value realization, and surface expansion opportunities where it makes sense to.
• Translate technical depth into business value
• Help customers understand not just how the platform works, but why it matters-framing results in terms of exposure reduction, compliance alignment, and operational efficiency.
• Own technical deal strategy
• Navigate objections, competitive positioning, and technical concerns throughout the sales cycle.
• Collaborate cross-functionally
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Product Marketing to ensure field feedback informs roadmap and positioning.
• Support enablement and knowledge sharing
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing and continuously refine demo flows, technical assets, and playbooks for the Enterprise segment.
• Own post-close technical continuity
• Stay engaged after the deal closes to ensure a smooth technical handoff, reinforce initial value, and maintain executive and practitioner alignment-remaining attentive to adoption, impact, and expansion signals

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as a Sales Engineer or Solutions Architect, in cybersecurity or infrastructure
• Located in Eastern Canada (preferably Greater Toronto area)
• Experience working Enterprise accounts with a mix of technical depth and executive interaction
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals (threat landscape, vulnerability management, identity, cloud, AD, etc.)
• Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for both practitioners and executives
• Experience running structured PoVs and managing technical validation cycles
• Strong collaboration skills and comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Cybersecurity, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Bilingual proficiency in English and French preferred (to support customers across Canada).
