Sales Engineer
Bindplane
At Bindplane, we’re on a mission to help modern enterprises take back control of their observability data. Built from the ground up with scale, efficiency, and open standards in mind, Bindplane is the industry’s first Unified Telemetry Platform: a purpose-built solution that simplifies how organizations manage metrics, logs, and traces across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
By unifying observability data pipelines, standardizing on OpenTelemetry, and providing centralized agent management, Bindplane helps organizations reduce their telemetry costs by over 40%, all without compromising on performance, flexibility, or data fidelity. Our platform is trusted by enterprises and backed by Google, and we’re now entering a pivotal phase of growth as we expand our go-to-market team.
We’re looking for a Sales Engineer who thrives in customer-facing roles, enjoys simplifying technical complexity, and wants to play a foundational role in scaling a next-generation observability platform. This role is ideal for someone who wants more ownership, thrives in startup environments, and enjoys working with both technical and business stakeholders to drive solutions forward.
About the Role
As a Sales Engineer at Bindplane, you will serve as a trusted technical advisor throughout the sales process, partnering closely with Account Executives to help prospects and customers understand how Bindplane can solve their toughest observability and telemetry challenges. Your role is not simply to provide demos; it’s to connect complex infrastructure use cases to business outcomes, guide stakeholders through architecture decisions, and build lasting trust throughout the technical evaluation process.
You’ll lead proof-of-concepts, deliver tailored technical presentations, and engage in detailed technical conversations with DevOps, infrastructure, and security teams. In addition to being a key resource for the sales team, you’ll act as a liaison between the sales and the product organization, ensuring that the Bindplane platform continues to solve real-world customer problems at scale.
We are also deepening our strategic partnership with Google, particularly within the Google Cloud ecosystem. While experience with Chronicle or Google SecOps is not a requirement, familiarity with GCP security tools and workflows would be a significant asset in this role.
