Cybersecurity Presales Engineer DACH

TEHTRIS is a European cybersecurity vendor specializing in threat detection and response (EDR/XDR). TEHTRIS protects organizations against the most advanced cyber threats through sovereign technology, developed and hosted in Europe. Recently joined by Jolt Capital, TEHTRIS is entering a new phase of development and is strengthening its teams to accelerate its growth in France and internationally.

Full-remote role based in Germany.

As a Presales Engineer at TEHTRIS, you are the technical bridge between our customers' challenges and the TEHTRIS solution portfolio. Working hand in hand with Sales, Engineering, and Technical Support, you translate business needs into tailored cybersecurity recommendations, and bring that expertise to life through compelling presentations and live product demonstrations.

Your relationship with a customer doesn't end once the deal is signed. As our German division scales, you'll naturally extend into the role of Technical Account Manager for the clients you've helped onboard , staying close to them post-sale, making sure they get lasting value from their deployment, and feeding their feedback back into the teams who build the product. In practice, this means your time splits roughly 70% Presales / 30% TAM, with the second naturally following from the first.

• Work closely with the sales team throughout the sales process

• Analyze and understand customers' needs to determine the appropriate solution
