Director of Sales Engineering

Director of Sales Engineering  

Graphiant is transforming enterprise networking with a modern, scalable Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform designed for performance, simplicity, and agility. As we expand into new markets, we’re looking for a senior technical sales expert to support strategic customer engagements and partner enablement across the U.S.

As the Director of Sales Engineering, you’ll serve as the senior technical point of contact for our sales team and partners throughout the region. While this is an individual contributor role, you’ll operate at a highly strategic level—leading technical sales efforts, shaping customer architecture decisions, and driving solution adoption in complex enterprise environments. This role is ideal for a hands-on Sales Engineering leader who excels in high-impact engagements, builds strong relationships, and thrives in fast-paced, early-stage settings.
