Job description

Overview

At Oasis Security, we’re redefining how enterprises manage access in the age of AI. Every organization deploying AI agents is taking on access risks they can’t yet see, and the tools they’ve relied on were never built for this. We built Oasis to change that. Backed by Sequoia, Accel, and Craft Ventures, we are trusted by dozens of Fortune 500 companies—including S&P Global, Mars, and Nationwide—and we’re only getting started.

Why Oasis, why now

The access‑management category is being rewritten in real time, and Oasis is leading it. The problems are genuinely hard, the company is growing fast, and you’re early enough to shape both the product and the team.

About the Position

We seek a highly skilled and motivated Sales Engineer to join our growing team. As a Sales Engineer, you will drive our growth by partnering with the sales team and engaging prospective customers. You will be the technical expert responsible for understanding customer needs, demonstrating the value of our platform, and ensuring successful deployments. This role requires a unique blend of deep technical expertise, exceptional communication skills, and a passion for solving complex cybersecurity challenges. The ideal candidate will be a customer‑focused, results‑oriented individual with a strong understanding of cybersecurity, particularly in application security and identity management.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Provide Technical Expertise: Support the sales team with in-depth technical knowledge; conduct product demonstrations and training sessions for clients.
• Engage with Customers: Understand customer needs and develop tailored security solutions; build and maintain strong client relationships.
• Support Sales Efforts: Identify and qualify new sales opportunities; prepare compelling technical proposals and presentations.
• Expand Product Knowledge: Stay updated on the latest security products and industry trends; share insights to enhance the team’s knowledge and capabilities.
• Ensure Seamless Implementation: Coordinate with the technical team for smooth solution deployment; provide post‑sales support and troubleshooting to ensure customer satisfaction.
• Pre‑Sales Activities: Lead technical pre‑sales activities, including engaging with customers to understand their technical requirements and challenges, delivering compelling product demonstrations and presentations, managing and executing POCs, effectively addressing technical objections and concerns, and evangelizing our value proposition to key stakeholders.
• Post‑Sales Activities: Ensure successful customer deployments and provide ongoing technical support; drive customer satisfaction and contribute to high renewal rates.

Qualifications

• Technical Expertise: Identity Management—traditional IAM concepts (authentication, authorization, access control, user directories), identity governance (PAM, user attestation); Cloud Platform Expertise—deep expertise in at least one central cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP) and its security services; Cloud Security—familiarity with cloud security best practices (CSPM, CASB, infrastructure security).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
• Six or more years of experience in cybersecurity with significant customer‑facing roles such as Sales Engineering.
• Experience with SaaS solutions.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity package.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k).
• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge technology and significantly impact the cybersecurity industry.
• Dynamic and collaborative work environment with a strong focus on learning and growth.
