Career & Market Insight
This is a high-impact senior individual contributor role at a fast-growing cybersecurity company (Inc. 5000) that sits at the intersection of two of the hottest segments in security: Identity Security and Active Directory protection.

Compensation context: No salary is disclosed. Senior Pre-Sales/Solutions Engineers in Brazil at global cybersecurity firms typically earn in the range of BRL 180,000–320,000 annually (OTE), with significant upside tied to sales performance. Semperis is a well-funded, U.S.-headquartered company, which often means above-market pay for LATAM hires.

- Deep expertise in Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) — one of the fastest-growing niches in cybersecurity
- Executive-level storytelling and business value articulation
- Consultative selling and ROI modeling for enterprise clients
- Cross-functional influence across sales, product, and engineering
Green flags: Multi-year Inc. Best Workplace recognition, stated commitment to work-life balance, hybrid model, and genuine product influence. The LATAM SE role offers high visibility in a growing regional market.
Yellow flag: 50% travel is demanding — ensure this aligns with your personal commitments before applying. No salary transparency may also warrant negotiation research upfront.
