## About the role

You'll be the technical owner of every new Strac customer, from first evaluation through long after signature. Your number-one job is getting proofs of concept to a technical win. Once a customer signs, you own their support. And because you're closest to customers, you'll turn what they need into clear, prioritized asks for our engineering team. You'll work alongside our account executives and directly with the CEO and engineers every day. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Genuinely technical: comfortable with APIs, OAuth/SSO, reading logs, and writing scripts or prompts to test and tune detections. Software engineering background is a plus
- You've run enterprise POCs or deployments and can hold a room with a CISO or a skeptical security engineer
- You can write a clear requirement and argue for its priority
- Extreme ownership: a stalled POC or an unhappy customer is your problem to fix, not something to escalate
- Clear writer, fast mover, uses AI tools aggressively
- Former startup founder or early team member is a plus
