Sales Engineer Position Summary

We're hiring a sharp, cloud-native Solutions Engineer to support our GTM and sales operations across the broader EMEA region. This is a great fit for a strong technical contributor with around five years of experience who's ready to step into a sales-facing role and grow into it fast.

You'll be the technical right hand to our Sales team—translating customer needs into solutions, building out custom tailored demos and proofs of concept, and writing code to prove a point when it matters. We're looking for someone with genuine DevOps and cloud fluency who also enjoys the people side of the job: running conversations, building trust with customers, and getting energized by the deal.

This role is ideal for a rising technical talent who's excited to launch into sales engineering—not a seasoned veteran looking to coast. If you've got the tech chops to hit the ground running and the social skills to win a room, we want to talk.

What You'll Do

This candidate must be able to credibly engage with Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, and Security teams. The baseline is hands-on, not theoretical:

• Linux CLI fluency – comfortable SSHing into production systems, reading logs, scripting in Bash, and troubleshooting live environments
• IAM depth – understands RBAC, ABAC, federation, SAML/OIDC, service accounts, and the identity chain from IdP to workload
• Cloud platform experience – AWS, Azure, or GCP (multi-cloud preferred); can navigate IAM policies, VPCs, security groups, and cloud-native services
• Kubernetes – can explain pod security, RBAC, namespaces, exec sessions, and how teams actually manage access to clusters in production
• Infrastructure as Code – Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation; understands state management, provider patterns, and how IaC fits into CI/CD
• CI/CD pipelines – has built or managed pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar; understands secrets injection, deployment gates, and pipeline security

What You'll Bring

The ideal candidate can write code, not just talk about it. This is what separates a StrongDM SE from a traditional PAM SE:

• Can write Python, Go, or TypeScript well enough to build demo integrations, automate POV environments, and script provisioning workflows
• Has built or contributed to internal tools, CLI utilities, Terraform providers, or open-source projects
• Understands API-first architectures – can read API docs, build integrations against REST/GraphQL endpoints, and demo programmatic access management

Bonus if you have

• Direct PAM experience (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Teleport, HashiCorp Boundary)
• Cloud security posture (CSPM, CIEM, CNAPP concepts)
• Experience running structured POVs with defined success criteria
• Competitive selling against CyberArk, Teleport, or the Palo Alto Networks stack
• Familiarity with Cedar Policy Language
• Non-Human Identity (NHI) governance or AI agent security awareness

Why work at Delinea?

• We're passionate problem-solvers helping the world's largest organizations protect what matters most: their human and machine identities.
• We invest in people who are smart, self-motivated, and collaborative.
• What we offer in return is meaningful work, a culture of innovation and great career progression.

At Delinea, our core values are STRONG and guide our behaviors and success:

• Spirited - We bring energy and passion to everything we do
• Trust - We act with integrity and deliver on our commitments
• Respect - We listen, value different perspectives, and work as one team
• Ownership - We take initiative and follow through
• Nimble - We adapt quickly in a fast-changing environment
• Global - We embrace diverse people and ideas to drive better outcomes

We believe weaving these core values into our day-to-day actions, and our process for hiring, evaluating, and promoting employees, helps us cultivate a work environment that embraces collaboration and camaraderie.

We take care of our employees. We offer competitive salaries, a meaningful bonus program, and excellent benefits, including healthcare insurance, as well as pension/retirement matching, comprehensive life insurance, an employee assistance program, time off plans, and paid company holidays.
