About the role

Proofpoint is seeking a Sales Engineer to lead pre-sales activities for mid-market Bay Area accounts, delivering compelling product demonstrations and translating customer needs into secure, scalable security solutions. You will partner with the sales team, engage security staff for discovery and evaluations, and share field feedback with Product and Engineering. Travel is required; 6+ years in cyber-security roles and strong presentation skills are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
