About This Role

About the Company:

ProofOps is a cybersecurity services company helping organizations across the UAE and Middle East strengthen their security posture through practical, outcome-driven programs. We work closely with customers to design and deliver security solutions that are implementable, measurable, and aligned to real operational needs.

We’re looking to add a technically strong, customer-facing Pre-Sales Engineer who can lead discovery, shape solutions, run demos/POCs, and support proposals—while partnering closely with sales and delivery teams.

About the Role

As a Pre-Sales Engineer (Sales Engineer – Technical), you will be the technical owner in the pre-sales cycle—supporting customer engagements from first meeting through solution design, demo/POC, proposal, and handover.

• Design solution approaches and service scopes aligned to customer requirements and delivery realities
• Deliver technical presentations, workshops, product/service walkthroughs, and proof-of-concepts (POCs)
• Support sales with technical qualification, objection handling, and solution positioning
• Produce technical content for proposals and RFPs (architecture diagrams, solution narratives, assumptions/dependencies)
• Act as the technical liaison between customers, sales, and delivery to ensure clean handovers and scope integrity
• Stay current on cybersecurity technologies, threat landscape trends, and best practices relevant to customer conversations

• Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable with both technical and business stakeholders
• Ability to translate technical concepts into business value (risk reduction, operational improvement, compliance alignment)
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science / IT / Engineering (or equivalent experience)

Nice-to-have

• Hands-on exposure to any of: SIEM/XDR/EDR, SOC operations, vulnerability management, incident response, IAM/PAM, cloud security, network security, email security, DLP/DSPM
• Experience creating customer-facing solution documents and responding to RFPs
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, CCNA, AZ-900/AWS CCP, vendor certs)

Benefits of Working at ProofOps

• Competitive compensation + performance incentives: Strong base with deal incentives for impact
