About Kasada

About Kasada

Join us in stopping bad bots, for good! Kasada protects millions of online users everyday. Founded to stop automated bot attacks, we believe the internet should be a safe place for everyone. Bad bots are highly destructive. They take over accounts, steal content, overload systems and infrastructure and cause billions of dollars in damages every year. Seeking to restore trust in the internet, Kasada stops bots at the very first request including those that have never been seen before.

We’ve grown from a few friends working out of a shipping container under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to now operating globally, we’re spread across the world protecting some of the most well-known brands on the face of the earth.

We’re an innately curious team that’s not afraid to bring bold ideas to create better ways of solving problems. We’re looking for people who are passionate about solving some of the most difficult and pressing cybersecurity issues, while having fun doing it!

The Role

Kasada is on a mission to make the internet a safer place and we’re growing. We’re looking for a Senior Sales Engineer to join our world-class team and help bring our industry-leading bot management platform to life for customers across the globe.

As a trusted technical advisor, you’ll guide customers from their first demo to full deployment, helping them unlock the full value of Kasada. You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Product, Security Operations, and Customer Success teams ensuring every customer has a seamless and impactful experience. If you’re passionate about cutting-edge web security, love working directly with customers, and want to join a company defining the future of bot management, Kasada is where you’ll thrive.

This role is remote-first with occasional travel to events or customer sites across the U.S. To best align with customers, candidates should be based on the East Coast or operate in Eastern Standard Time.

What You’ll Do

• Be the go-to technical expert for Kasada’s platform from bot detection to web application integration.
• Deliver compelling, story-driven demos that bring the technology to life.
• Own proof-of-concept (PoC) engagements from scoping and setup through to successful validation.
• Translate complex security concepts into clear business value for a diverse customer base.
• Empower customers and internal teams through technical training and enablement.

About You

• You’re endlessly curious, technically sharp, and always looking for better ways to solve problems.
• Expert-level understanding of HTTP and the technologies powering modern web applications.
• Strong debugging skills with browser developer tools and network analyzers.
• Solid grasp of layer 4 and 7 networking (load balancing, reverse proxies).
• Comfortable working with CDN platforms such as CloudFront, Cloudflare, or Akamai.
• Deep understanding of web application architecture and development.
• You thrive on connecting with customers, delivering exceptional experiences, and helping them succeed.

Salary: $160,000 - $200,000 a year
