Job summary

Tailscale is hiring a Senior Solutions Engineer to partner with Account Executives on enterprise accounts. You will own the technical side of the sales cycle—qualifying use cases, leading discovery and architecture, running demos and proofs-of-concept, and supporting early adoption and expansion.

This is a senior individual-contributor role blending deep networking and security with consultative selling. You will co-own pipeline, help close deals, and feed customer requirements back into product

Qualifications

5–7+ years in a customer-facing Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, or Solutions Architect role within networking, security, infrastructure, or related enterprise software.
Proven experience co-owning pipeline and influencing quota outcomes with Sales on both new business and expansion.
Deep understanding of zero-trust networking, secure connectivity, and IAM integrations (SSO, SAML, OIDC, SCIM).
Strong networking fundamentals and troubleshooting skills: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, NAT traversal, TLS/HTTPS, and related concepts.
Experience with AWS, GCP, and/or Azure in hybrid environments.

Responsibilities

Lead technical discovery, solution architecture, demos, and proofs-of-concept (POCs) that help customers make confident buying decisions.
Design Tailscale architectures for hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments, including identity-based access and secure connectivity patterns.
Align Tailscale PAM for identity-aware access with session recording, and Aperture as an AI gateway for LLM/API access.
Translate technical capabilities into clear business value, including security outcomes, operational simplicity, and time-to-value.
Serve as a trusted advisor across multi-stakeholder deals, guiding implementation and collaborating with Customer Success to drive best-practice adoption.
Support security reviews and common enterprise diligence (architecture reviews, questionnaires, and compliance discussions).
Provide structured feedback to Product, Engineering, and GTM teams based on enterprise use cases, blockers, and competitive dynamics.
Assist in building reusable demo environments, solution blueprints, and enablement assets that raise the quality and consistency of enterprise engagements.
Stay current on zero-trust networking, privileged access, identity integrations, cloud networking, and AI access/governance so you can position the full Tailscale portfolio accurately and competitively.
