You will provide technical expertise throughout the sales cycle, working closely with enterprise sales teams to identify customer security requirements, conduct detailed product demonstrations, and support proof-of-value initiatives.
Key responsibilities include collaborating with the sales team to understand security needs across the enterprise customer base, delivering compelling presentations that showcase Datadog's security capabilities to both technical and non-technical audiences, and providing hands-on technical support during customer evaluations.

Required qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, and deep hands-on experience with SIEM platforms, detection pipelines, SOC workflows (alert triage, investigation, response), and endpoint security solutions (EDR/MDR). You must have expert knowledge of developer and DevOps ecosystems, application security best practices, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) with their associated security tools.

Problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and willingness to travel up to 30% for customer meetings and industry events are required.
