Director of Sales Engineering  

Graphiant is transforming enterprise networking with a modern, scalable Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform designed for performance, simplicity, and agility. As we expand into new markets, we’re looking for a senior technical sales expert to support strategic customer engagements and partner enablement across the U.S.

As the Director of Sales Engineering, you’ll serve as the senior technical point of contact for our sales team and partners throughout the region. While this is an individual contributor role, you’ll operate at a highly strategic level—leading technical sales efforts, shaping customer architecture decisions, and driving solution adoption in complex enterprise environments. This role is ideal for a hands-on Sales Engineering leader who excels in high-impact engagements, builds strong relationships, and thrives in fast-paced, early-stage settings.

  • Partner with the broader Sales Engineering team to share regional insights, best practices, and competitive intelligence
  • Represent Graphiant at industry events, customer briefings, and partner-led engagements throughout the region
  • Support onboarding, training, and technical enablement for partners and internal sales teams

Core Competencies

  • Expert-level knowledge of enterprise networking—ideally including NaaS, SD-WAN, hybrid cloud, or edge connectivity
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex technology into business value
  • High emotional intelligence and executive presence—able to influence decisions without direct authority
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias for action and comfort operating without formal structure
  • Travel as needed across the U.S. (~30–40%)
  • Comfortable balancing strategic customer conversations with hands-on solution validation

Experience

  • Proven success supporting complex enterprise sales cycles and working with field sellers, channel partners, and cross-functional teams
  • Background in networking, cloud infrastructure, or SaaS technologies
