About the Role

We're seeking a Sales Engineer to lead Socket's growth in Europe: a unique hybrid role combining pre-sales technical expertise with post-sale customer success ownership. You'll be the bridge between prospects evaluating Socket and existing customers expanding their usage, driving both deal closure and long-term customer outcomes.

What You’ll Do

Pre-Sales & Demos:

  • Lead technical discussions and product demonstrations tailored to prospect needs
  • Design and execute proofs of concept (POCs) that enable prospects to evaluate Socket effectively
  • Address technical objections, troubleshoot issues, and build customer confidence
  • Translate Socket's capabilities into business value for security and engineering teams

Post-Sales & Growth:

  • Own the success and growth of assigned European enterprise accounts
  • Create and execute success plans aligned to customer goals with clear KPIs
  • Drive feature adoption and expansion opportunities across the customer base
  • Conduct QBRs and renewal discussions
  • Escalate customer feedback to product and engineering teams

Cross-Functional Partnership:

  • Collaborate with Sales, Product, Engineering, and CS teams to understand customer needs
  • Contribute to scalable processes and playbooks for European enterprise accounts
  • Provide strategic feedback on market needs and feature requests
  • Support the creation of technical documentation and integration guides

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years in pre-sales technical roles (Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, TAM) with enterprise customers
  • 2+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or post-sale technical roles
  • Prior experience in security, developer tools, or SaaS environments
  • Hands-on technical background: prior software engineering, data science, or equivalent role
  • Deep familiarity with package managers (at least one of npm or PyPI) and programming ecosystems (at least one of JavaScript or Python)
  • Understanding of software supply chain security and vulnerability management concepts
  • Ability to read/write basic scripts in Python, JS, or Go
  • Knowledge of source control systems (Git, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
  • RESTful API and integration experience
