- Be a compelling communicator who can present complex ideas live on the whiteboard
- 7+ years experience in pre-sales engineering for an enterprise software company

What the job involves
- This is truly a ground-floor opportunity for a Sales Development Representative that wants to have a hand in building the future of the multi-billion dollar, multi-cloud identity market
- At Strata, we built the team around a core culture of collaboration, authenticity, and respect
- At Strata we have what we call the Maverics Spirit that is a mix of courage, confidence and grit that combines to reveal the best characteristics of our team
- We invest heavily in company culture and celebrate our successes weekly while executing like no other team in the industry
- Strata’s platform - Maverics - is identity middleware that connects identity infrastructure (Okta, Microsoft, Ping, AWS and others) with applications to modernize security and automate IT processes, all without requiring any rewriting of applications saving millions of dollars in measurable expenses
- Strata works closely with our partners at Microsoft Azure, Okta, AWS, GCP, and VMware to ensure interoperability through deep, native integrations. We build our software to be secure, scalable, and extensible; you help bring it to the world
- Secure. We take security seriously and build it into the core of what we develop and how we run our platform
- Scalable. Strata’s customers rely on our software to secure their core business operations, meaning we need to be available 99.999%
- Extensible. Strata built the Maverics platform for distributed identity management to support evolving use cases that our customers bring us. As such, we build our software to easily integrate with and manage many other identity infrastructure systems
- Our distributed identity business is growing quickly and we are building an A-Team of Sales Engineers to be the primary technical resource for our sales and partner teams
- Our SEs engage prospects and partners where they have the greatest need and meet that need with relevant content, education, and confident technical architectural advice
- Manage all technical aspects of the sales process
- Conduct impactful product demos, both remote and on-site
- Build and implement demo use cases, document them, and train others
- Assist in implementing Proof of Concepts (POCs), discovering requirements and dependencies, and driving hands-on implementation
- Discover prospects' requirements and whiteboard solutions with customer architectures
- Provide field insights to product management to enhance the Maverics platform
- Present Strata’s solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences, from practitioners to C-level executives
- Travel as required when safe to do so
Our take
By one account, over 90% of enterprises are using multiple cloud service providers. It gives them greater flexibility, more leeway for switching vendors, and helps with regulatory compliance - and sometimes, as with M&As, it’s just the bloat involved with combining multiple businesses. The more clouds, however, the more decentralized (and therefore cumbersome) the management of access privileges, as each cloud uses a different IAM.
So Strata Identity’s Maverics platform provides an increasingly valuable service to a growing addressable market. It’s an abstraction layer designed to centralize operations across different cloud identity and datacenter systems so they can all be operated from a common layer, without rewriting applications, including more dated legacy systems that aren’t easily interoperable.
Strata Identity has received impressive funding to scale sales and marketing, as well as invest in go-to-market and customer success initiatives. Whilst the identity management market is growingly competitive - startups like Ping Identity and Okta have grown astronomically, and of course, there’s competition from major players like Microsoft - this could play in the company's favor. This is because its platform helps stitch these different systems together, so the more of them out there to manage, the greater its value.
