Job Description

We’re looking for a Manager of Customer Success Engineering who has lived in the SOC — not just observed it. You’ve triaged incidents, tuned detections, escalated threats, and know exactly what breaks in a customer’s environment at 2 am. You’ll be the technical anchor for our most complex customer relationships. You handle escalations, run executive reviews, and as Simbian grows, you’ll build and lead the team behind you. This is a player‑coach role. You lead from the front before you lead a team.

What You’ll Do

• Own all technical escalations from customers – triage, investigate, resolve, and document with full accountability
• Serve as the primary technical voice in monthly and quarterly business reviews, covering incident trends, platform performance, and product roadmap alignment
• Partner with customers to tune Simbian’s AI agent to their environment, detection logic, response playbooks, integrations
• Work cross‑functionally with product and engineering to translate customer pain into roadmap priorities
• Build out processes, runbooks, and escalation frameworks from scratch as the function scales
• Hire, onboard, and lead a Customer Success Engineering team as customer volume grows
• Act as the internal voice of the customer – flag patterns, advocate for fixes, and push back when needed

Requirements

• 10–15 years in SecOps: SOC analysis, incident response, threat detection, or security engineering
• Background in an MDR or MSSP strongly preferred – you understand what it means to manage security outcomes for multiple customers simultaneously
• Hands‑on with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and cloud security tooling (Splunk, CrowdStrike, Sentinel, Palo Alto, or equivalent)
• Comfortable running executive‑level conversations – QBRs, roadmap discussions, escalation calls – without losing the technical thread
• Experience managing or mentoring junior security analysts or engineers
• Strong written and verbal communication: you can explain a detection gap to a CISO and a playbook fix to an analyst in the same day
• Comfortable working in an early‑stage environment where the process doesn’t exist yet – you build it

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI‑driven security platforms or SOAR automation
• CISSP, CISM, GCIA, GCIH, or equivalent certifications
• Prior experience in a CSE, TAM, or Solutions Engineering role at a security vendor
• Direct line to product – your customer insights shape what we build next
• Build and own a function from the ground up – Remote‑first, high‑trust culture
• Competitive compensation + equity at an early‑stage AI security company
• Work with customers who are genuinely trying to solve hard security problems, not just check compliance boxes
