Powered by its Data Reasoning Layer that understands business context, Teleskope continuously discovers and classifies risky data, determines the appropriate action, and enforces it natively across on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and AI environments, without manual triage or external tools. Unlike DSPM tools that surface findings and stop there, Teleskope closes the loop between detection and resolution. Customers include Ramp, Petco, Dayforce and Notion.\nIn this agentic era, data risk has quickly become the most widespread, exploitable and urgent challenge faced by enterprises. Teleskope’s unique ability to resolve data risk as it arises positions us as a critical partner to the world’s largest enterprises, helping them to protect their most valuable assets while safely adopting AI.\nThe market is catching on, and Teleskope is growing like crazy.

Engineering to communicate customer feedback, identify technical requirements, and influence product development.\n\nDevelop and refine technical sales materials, demo environments, and repeatable processes as the team scales.\n\nSupport technical enablement for internal teams and strategic partners.\n\nStay current on emerging trends in data security, cloud infrastructure, and AI security.\n\nWhat You Bring\n5+ years of experience in Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or a similar customer-facing technical role within enterprise SaaS.\n\nExperience working in

decision-makers, helping to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value.\n\nStrong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with a hands-on approach to technical challenges.\n\nExcellent communication, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills, with a demonstrated ability to think on your feet.\n\nStrong organization skills with a heavy bias for
