Technical Account Manager

Vega•United States,

7h•Hybrid

About The Position

This is the role for the person who understands the world of SecOps teams and Cyber Defence Engineers. You understand why detections fail, why logs arrive late, why queries time out at the worst possible moment, and why investigations stall. You know what's at stake when a security team can't move fast enough. That understanding is exactly what you'll put to work here. As a Technical Account Manager at Vega, you sit at the intersection of customer engineering, security operations, and product. You own the post-sales technical relationship for a set of our most important customers, from onboarding through adoption, through the moments that actually matter. In critical situations, you're the person customers call. You help them understand what's happening, why it matters, and what to do next. This is a hands-on, deeply technical, high-trust role. It's not a support escalation path, it's a strategic one. You'll shape how customers succeed with Vega, and you'll shape Vega's product by bringing the reality of SOC analysts, detection engineers, threat hunters and incident responders back to our R&D and product teams.

Requirements

6+ years in a technical, customer-facing role (TAM, Customer Engineer, Senior Support, or similar).
Hands-on experience with SIEM or observability platforms, Splunk, Elastic/ELK, Microsoft Sentinel, or equivalent.
You've actually used these tools for incident investigation, threat hunting, or application troubleshooting, not just sold them.
Strong cloud fundamentals across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP
Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform or similar).
Scripting skills in Python and/or Bash
Comfortable troubleshooting distributed systems, data pipelines, and query performance.
Equally fluent talking to engineers and executive stakeholders.
Startup or high-growth experience, you know how to move fast and make calls without a perfect playbook.
You make progress where others stall. You navigate ambiguity with curiosity, not paralysis. You know when to go heads-down and when to loop in the right person, and you do it without being asked.

Nice To Haves

Background in a SOC, Security Engineering, Incident Response, or Threat Hunting role.
