About this role
Location: NYC Office, Hybrid
Why We’re HiringAs Escape grows, our customers need more than a powerful security platform. They need a trusted technical partner who understands their environment, helps them deploy Escape successfully, and ensures they continue getting meaningful value from it.
The RoleYou will join the NYC office as a key member of our Post-Sales team, collaborating closely with Jess, our Head of Customer Success. As the primary post-sales technical partner for a portfolio of customers, you will guide them from handover to deployment through to long-term adoption. You’ll work directly with technical stakeholders, including Application Security teams, security engineers, developers, and platform leaders in a global context.
This is not a traditional Customer Success role. It demands strong technical expertise and the credibility to work alongside engineering and security teams. Your responsibilities include:
Owning the customer relationship post-sales, starting at handoff from Sales Engineering
Guiding customers through production deployment, product configuration, technical integrations, and adoption
Troubleshooting and resolving technical challenges, using scripting and workflow automation as needed
Connecting Escape to customers’ existing engineering and security processes
Collaborating with Sales Engineering, Product, and Engineering teams throughout the customer lifecycle
Traveling for in-person customer engagements, workshops, conferences, and company offsites
What You BringAn engineering degree in computer science, software engineering, cybersecurity, or a similar technical field
3+ years of technical customer-facing experience within SaaS, cybersecurity, developer tools, or another deep-tech environment
Technical credibility with engineering leaders, developers, application and platform security teams
Deep understanding of software architecture, APIs, integrations, and modern development environments, AI and pentesting.
Hands-on experience with scripting, troubleshooting, or workflow automation
Ability to investigate and resolve complex technical issues
Strong customer instincts: you can build trust, manage expectations, and translate technical concepts clearly for different audiences
The ability to manage several customer priorities while maintaining strong follow-through and attention to detail
Motivation to work autonomously and help build the foundations of a fast-growing Post-Sales team
Willingness to work from the NYC office and travel as needed
Bonus PointsExperience in application security, DAST, API security, penetration testing, or vulnerability management
Previous experience as a software engineer, solutions engineer, technical consultant, or security engineer
Familiarity with GraphQL, REST APIs, CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, or developer tooling
Experience supporting enterprise customers through complex technical deployments
Experience contributing to renewals, expansions, or technical account plans
