### About the Role

We are 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. You will act as a trusted advisor to networking, security, platform, and IT stakeholders.

This is a senior individual-contributor role that blends deep networking and security expertise with consultative selling. You will co-own pipeline outcomes, help close and expand enterprise deals, and feed real customer requirements back into product and go-to-market.

This role is a strong fit for a senior SE who wants to stay close to the technology, work enterprise deals from qualification through early adoption, and help customers replace complicated networking—and privileged/AI access—with something simpler and more secure.

### Key Responsibilities

- Partner with Account Executives to identify, qualify, and close new enterprise logos and expansion opportunities, confirming technical fit aligned with business goals.
- 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.
