Job Title: Senior Sales Engineer

Location: Japan

Reports to: Head of Sales Engineering

Witness AI invented intent-based AI security. While legacy tools monitor what users say to AI, we understand what they're trying to accomplish - stopping jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and shadow AI before damage occurs. We provide visibility into how employees and systems use AI - capturing prompts, responses, and agent activity - so security teams can monitor risk, investigate incidents, and enforce guardrails in real time.

The Senior Sales Engineer occupies a pivotal role, bridging the gap between our technological solutions and the demands of our clientele by delivering comprehensive technical proficiency, exemplary pre-sales advisory services, and solution architecture design. This position requires close interaction with enterprise-level clients to showcase the platform's functionalities, align technology with customer specifications, and facilitate seamless implementation and adoption.
