We're BlueCat—a Great Place to Work for good reason. Our team solves critical network challenges for some of the world's largest organizations. In simple terms, we manage the systems that keep networks running smoothly, securely, and reliably—the backbone infrastructure that powers digital transformation for enterprises globally. Our Intelligent Network Operations platform delivers and enables AI-driven agentic ops at scale, automating and simplifying how companies manage, secure, and optimize their networks.
But what makes us different is how we work: we believe great work happens in an environment where you're trusted, heard, and supported. With teams globally, we're building a workplace culture that values collaboration and integrity as much as innovation. If you're looking to advance your career with a company that invests in its people, this is it.
BlueCat’s Network Observability platform is transforming how organizations gain visibility, control, automation, and confidence across increasingly complex digital infrastructures. Together, we deliver market-leading network observability, infrastructure intelligence, performance monitoring, telemetry analytics, and automation solutions that help enterprises improve resiliency, accelerate troubleshooting, reduce operational complexity, and enable digital transformation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
We’re looking for a high-impact Sales Engineer who thrives at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and customer engagement. This is not a traditional demo-focused role. You’ll act as a trusted technical advisor to enterprise customers and channel partners, helping organizations modernize network operations, improve operational visibility, automate infrastructure workflows, and achieve measurable business outcomes.
You’ll collaborate across Sales, Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Go-to-Market teams to shape customer strategy, influence product direction, and drive long-term customer value throughout the entire customer lifecycle — from evaluation and adoption through expansion and ongoing success.
If you enjoy translating deep technical expertise into measurable customer outcomes — and want to work with cutting-edge observability, telemetry, AI-assisted operations, and infrastructure intelligence technologies — we’d love to meet you.
