As a leading provider of AI-powered Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR),, Ontinue is on a mission to be the most trusted, 24/7, always-on security partner that empowers customers to embrace the future by using AI to operate more strategically, at scale, and with less risk. We believe that the combination of AI and human expertise is essential for delivering effective managed security that is tailored to a customer’s unique environment, operational constraints, and risks.
Our MXDR service combines powerful proprietary AI with a one-of-a-kind collaboration model to continuously build a deep understanding of our customers’ environments, informing how we prevent, detect, and respond to threats. Our unrivaled Microsoft expertise allows customers to achieve these outcomes with the Microsoft Security tools they already own. The result is highly localized managed protection that empowers security teams to be faster, smarter, and more cost efficient than ever before.
Continuous protection. AI-powered Nonstop SecOps. That’s Ontinue.

As a Solutions Engineer based in Vienna, Austria (or nearby), you will act as a trusted technical advisor and the technical win leader in complex security engagements. You work closely with experienced Sales Executives to shape security conversations from early discovery through solution design, RFP defence, and customer handover.

Your goal is to help customers modernise their security operations using Microsoft Defender and Sentinel as the foundation.
Your impact:
- Lead the technical strategy for complex opportunities across Austria and parts of the DACH region
- Build trusted relationships with CISOs, Heads of IT, and security architects
- Translate Microsoft security capabilities into clear operational and business value
- Help grow Ontinue’s footprint in Austria with strong local market understanding and global backing
What you will do:
- Assess customer security posture, requirements, and technical requirements
- Deliver compelling presentations and live demos of Ontinue’s MXDR services
- Lead technical workshops and architecture sessions
- Own and drive RFP responses, including customer-facing RFP presentations

- Ensure a high‑quality handover of new customers to account management and delivery

What we are looking for:

- Excellent communication and presentation skills in German (native) and English
- Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with sales, product and delivery teams
- Willingness to travel for customer engagements and industry events
Must‑have
- Native German speaker, fluent in English (written and verbal)

Nice‑to‑have
