Overview
Director at Kaliba - Helping software companies with their GTM, Professional Services & Technical hiring in APAC
Are you a hands-on Sales Engineer who thrives in startup environments—where you're trusted to build, break, and lead from the front?
We're working with a stealth-mode, high-growth networking company that's quietly partnering with some of the world's most advanced infrastructure teams. Now, they're expanding into Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia—and need a sharp, self-directed SE to anchor the region.
The Role
This isn't a support role. You'll be the first in-region Sales Engineer—owning the technical sales motion, guiding strategic accounts, and helping shape how open networking is adopted across APAC.
You'll need to be
* Deeply hands-on—this is for someone who enjoys jumping into the CLI, configuring real environments, and getting into the weeds with customers.
* A trusted technical partner who can confidently run discovery, lead demos, and translate complex architecture into customer value
* Someone who's comfortable in ambiguity—especially if you've worked in startups or small, scrappy teams in Australia, where impact matters more than job titles
What You'll Bring
* Strong foundation in networking (routing, switching, BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, etc.)
* Experience running POCs and building demo environments
* Pre-sales or technical consulting experience in enterprise or telco
* Bonus: SONiC, open networking stacks, or observability tooling
* Based in Melbourne or Sydney, and able to travel across ANZ/ASEAN
If you're looking for a regional SE role where you'll help build the blueprint, not just follow it—this one's worth a conversation.
