Echo
Sales Engineer
About this role
Description At echo, we’re fixing a broken system. Vulnerability management isn't working – it’s reactive, noisy, and unsustainable. Instead of chasing CVEs, we’re eliminating them at the source. Our AI-powered platform produces vulnerability-free base images that integrate cleanly into existing workflows, helping security and platform teams eliminate patching overhead without slowing down developers. Backed by top-tier investors and led by second-time founders who previously built the first software supply chain security company, which was later acquired by Aqua Security, we’ve gone from stealth to serving global enterprise customers in under six months. As a Sales Engineer (SE) at Echo, you will act as the technical expert and trusted advisor throughout the sales cycle. You’ll partner closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering to demonstrate Echo’s value, translate customer needs into technical solutions, and help close strategic deals.
