The Ideal Candidate

The Senior Sales Engineer is a curious, consultative advisor who pairs with sales to win net-new ARR and expand existing accounts. You connect Entersekt's capabilities to the customer's business outcomes: surfacing the real problem behind the stated request, then mapping it to higher approval rates, lower fraud losses, improved regulatory compliance, or an enhanced customer experience. You sell what we can deliver, and you set the delivery team up to succeed. You operate independently, handle most customer queries without escalation, and make the customer's voice heard internally with tenacity.

This is not a product-led demo role. We sell on value, not features.

The Role

You partner with Sales as the trusted technical advisor on qualified opportunities across our payments and authentication suites. Sales qualifies the commercial fit before you engage; from that point you own the technical evaluation: discovery with the customer's technical stakeholders, articulation of fit, technical objection handling, workshop delivery, POC scoping where required, and a clean handover to Solution Delivery at contract signature. Inside the existing customer base, you support upsell and cross-sell where new ARR is in play.

Customers are predominantly issuers, merchants and acquirers, and payment networks. The work is technical, the buyers are sophisticated, and the regulatory context (SCA, GDPR, card network rules and EMV 3DS specifications) is non-negotiable. Deep expertise in one of payments or authentication is required, with working fluency across both.

Responsibilities

• Engage qualified opportunities as the technical lead, partnering with Account Executives to win net-new ARR and surface expansion opportunities in the existing book.
• Run discovery with technical and business stakeholders to understand pain points, current architecture, and commercial drivers; translate these into use cases and a credible Entersekt solution narrative.
• Articulate Entersekt’s differentiators in language the customer can use internally to build their own business case. Not in product-marketing terms.
• Address technical objections directly, including comparative analysis.
