We are currently seeking a passionate and driven Sales Engineer to join our exceptional team. As a Sales Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in driving new customer opportunities and integrating Cohesity’s AI‑powered data security and management platform into enterprise environments. This is an ambitious opportunity to showcase your expertise and make a significant impact in a rapidly growing company.

  • Lead deep technical discovery to uncover customer risk, competitive displacement opportunities, and expansion pathways within enterprise accounts.

  • Architect and defend differentiated solutions, supporting evaluations and positioning Cohesity as the strategic platform for ransomware recovery, cyber vaulting, disaster recovery, and modern data management.

  • Deliver high‑impact technical engagements, including demos, workshops, proposals, white papers, and proofs of concept across on‑prem, hybrid, and multi‑cloud environments.

  • Drive partner and channel co‑sell motions to increase win rates and expand market reach.

  • Serve as a trusted technical advisor throughout the customer lifecycle—resolving technical challenges, ensuring successful deployments, shaping long‑term platform adoption, and feeding real‑world insights back to Product and Engineering.

WE’D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

  • Proven success in enterprise pre‑sales (Sales Engineering or Solutions Consulting) supporting infrastructure, data protection, security, or cloud platforms in complex customer environments.

  • Experience selling or implementing cybersecurity, data protection, backup, storage, or cyber recovery solutions, including on‑prem and cloud architectures.

  • Familiarity with Cohesity solutions (DataProtectDataHawkSmartFiles) strongly preferred 

  • Experience with encryption standards, HSM integrations, and compliance frameworks 

  • Hands‑on experience with NetBackup, Backup Exec, and InfoScale, including immutable storage, hardened media servers, ACL‑based controls, and encryption

  • Ability to lead modernization and competitive displacement conversations centered on ransomware resilience

  • Cross‑platform experience across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments, with the ability to map capabilities to Zero Trust frameworks

  • Demonstrated ability to support large, multi‑stakeholder enterprise deals, including seven‑figure opportunities, and engage confidently at the C‑level.

  • Customer‑obsessed mindset, with a track record of translating technical architectures into business outcomes, risk reduction, and resilience.

  • Deep understanding of channel‑led sales motions.

  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills, able to clearly convey complex technical and business concepts to both small and large audiences.

  • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decisionmaking.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience.
