Solution Engineer Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

CyberSheath Services International LLC is a rapidly growing Managed Services Provider primarily focused on providing CMMC Compliance and Cybersecurity services to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). We integrate compliance and threat mitigation efforts to eliminate redundant security practices and help clients invest where it actually improves security and readiness.

Successful candidates at CyberSheath are self-motivated, think out of the box, and solve problems independently. We value confident 'doers' who take ownership, move with urgency, and do the right thing—even when no one is watching. Our environment is fast-paced and collaborative, and we seek team members who are willing to wear multiple hats to help us scale.

About the Role

CyberSheath is seeking a Solution Engineer to lead technical discovery and design compliant managed services and cybersecurity solutions that meet CMMC/NIST 800-171 requirements for prospective Defense Industrial Base (DIB) clients. This is a customer-facing, pre-sales role requiring a strong blend of managed services experience, security/IT engineering fluency, and deep familiarity with CMMC and NIST 800-171.

You'll translate prospect requirements into solution architectures, scopes of work, and proposals that are technically sound, operationally deliverable, and aligned to compliance outcomes. You will also bring proven pre-sales expertise by leading discovery, guiding technical conversations, handling objections, and building buyer confidence throughout the sales cycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Pre-Sales Technical Support – Partner with Account Executives and Customer Success Managers across the full sales lifecycle, serving as a technical resource in new logo and upsell pursuits.
• Solution Design & Architecture – Design compliant solutions that align to CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements, including managed services, security controls, governance processes, and implementation approaches.
• Discovery & Requirements Translation – Lead or support discovery sessions to understand prospect environments, risks, constraints, and compliance gaps; translate findings into clear solution scope and recommended service packages.
• Compliance-Driven Scoping – Define deliverables, assumptions, dependencies, and boundaries that make solutions executable by delivery teams while meeting compliance objectives.
• Proposal & SOW Contribution – Produce and/or contribute to statements of work, technical proposals, solution diagrams, and compliance narratives; ensure accuracy and consistency between what is sold and what can be delivered.
• Technical Sales Enablement – Present solutions to technical and executive stakeholders; support product/service positioning, differentiation, and objection handling (security, compliance, architecture, cost, and feasibility).
• Internal Alignment – Collaborate with service delivery, compliance, and operations teams to validate feasibility, estimate effort, and reduce sales-to-delivery friction.

Who You Are

• Customer-facing and credible with both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
• Comfortable owning the technical path to "yes". You don't just answer questions; you shape the solution and guide decisions.
• Structured communicator who can simplify complex compliance/technical topics without losing accuracy.
• Pragmatic builder who designs solutions that are compliant and deliverable in the real world.
• Collaborative with a strong bias toward action and accountability.

• Excellent organizational skills including the ability to balance conflicting priorities
• Ability to work as part of a team and follow defined team processes
• Must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.

Preferred Qualifications
