About Venn
Venn is the leader in workspace security for remote and contractor workforces. Built on Venn's patented technology, Blue Border™ protects company data, applications, and AI workflows on any computer, without VDI and without fully managing the endpoint. Installing Blue Border creates a company-controlled secure enclave directly on the user's Mac or PC. All business activity, including data, applications, networking, and AI workflows, runs locally and stays isolated from personal use, while everything outside the enclave remains private.
Blue Border gives IT a simpler, device-agnostic way to secure remote work, enable contractor and BYOD workforces, govern AI usage, and replace VDI. More than 700 security and compliance-driven organizations, including Fidelity, Guardian, Whatnot, and the IMF, trust Venn to meet HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, NAIC, SOC 2, PCI, and GDPR standards.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Sales Engineer/Solutions Architect, you are the technical owner of our most complex enterprise deals. You will lead the technical sale from first discovery call through architecture review, security sign-off, proof-of-concept and close, working side by side with Account Executives on strategic accounts.
Our buyers are CISOs, CIOs, IT architects and security and compliance leaders at large, regulated organizations. They are replacing or reducing VDI, locking down contractor and BYOD access, and answering to auditors. You will earn their trust by designing a solution that fits their identity, endpoint, network and compliance stack, and by proving it works in their environment.
This is a senior individual-contributor role with real influence. You will shape how we run technical evaluations, set the standard for demos and POCs, and bring field insight to Product that changes the roadmap. You are part engineer, part consultant and part storyteller, and you are comfortable being the most technical person in a room of executives.
What You'll Do
- Lead enterprise technical discovery. Partner with Account Executives to map each customer's identity, endpoint, VDI, network and data-protection environment, and the business and compliance drivers behind the project.
- Architect solutions for complex environments. Design deployments that integrate with Microsoft 365/Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, Google Workspace, existing VDI, VPN and ZTNA, and endpoint and DLP tooling, and document the reference architecture for the customer's review.
- Own proofs-of-concept and technical evaluations. Define success criteria with the customer up front, run the POC end to end, and turn the results into a clear business case.
- Run security reviews. Lead security questionnaires, RFP and RFI technical responses, architecture reviews and compliance mapping with customer security, risk and legal teams.
- Present at every level. Deliver deep technical sessions for engineers and architects, and concise value-led narratives for CISOs, CIOs and other executive sponsors.
- Build the technical business case. Quantify value against incumbent approaches such as VDI, VPN and managed devices (cost, user experience, risk reduction) alongside the Account Executive.
- Handle competition. Stay current on the competitive l
