Description

About us

The industry’s only Agentic Security Automation Platform - Blink enables you to automate all aspects of your security operations by combining AI security agents with deterministic workflows. Retain full control as you deploy your own custom army of virtual security employees - each tasked and responsible for managing specific jobs and capable of taking autonomous decisions. These AI agents leverage the deterministic security workflows assigned to them or by calling upon peer agents as required. Blink empowers security teams to rapidly operationalize response to zero-day and emerging threats by automating detection ingestion, cross-environment hunting, containment, and coordination with human stakeholders.

Join our fast growing team, and help put the power of automation in the hands of every security professional.

About this role

As a Sales Engineer at Blink, you’ll partner with Account Executives and Solutions Engineers to help prospective customers understand and adopt automation. You’ll lead discovery, demo, and POC stages - translating security problems into automated solutions powered by Blink. A key part of this role is business-level discovery: identifying the customer’s strategic objectives and mapping Blink’s platform capabilities to measurable business outcomes. You’ll be instrumental in helping customers realize the value of automation - not just through technical execution, but by aligning automation use cases to their security and operational goals.

You should be comfortable navigating both technical and business conversations. Your ability to explain automation, model logic-based workflows, and connect capabilities to real-world outcomes will be essential.


Your responsibilities

What You’ll Do

● Drive both technical and business discovery to uncover pain points, automation opportunities, and measurable outcomes across diverse security teams.

● Deliver tailored platform demos that align Blink’s automation capabilities with real-world security and operational goals.

● Lead and execute Proofs of Concept (POCs), guiding customers through use case design, solution validation, and success criteria.

● Build autonomous agents and deterministic workflows using Blink’s UI to incorporate automation logic, data transformation, platform integrations, and case management elements.

● Collaborate with customers to connect Blink to tools across SIEM, IAM, EDR, cloud infrastructure, GRC, and ticketing platforms.

●  Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Solutions to influence roadmap priorities, resolve edge cases, and ensure technical alignment.


Requirements

Requirements and Skills

●  Proficiency working with APIs, data formats (JSON, YAML), and data manipulation tools such as jq; able to reason through logic using conditionals, branching, and loops.

●  Familiarity with major platform types including SIEM, SOAR, EDR, IAM, cloud services, ticketing, and compliance/GRC systems.

●  Experience using or building with AI platforms or agents is a strong plus.

●  Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and juggle multiple customer engagements.
