About the Role

WSO2 is looking for a visionary Field CTO to join our North America Sales Engineering team. As a company at the forefront of API management, integration, and identity and access management (IAM), WSO2 provides the foundational "digital freedom" for enterprises to innovate without vendor lock-in.

The Field CTO is a high-impact, senior-level technology sales professional who acts as the "voice of the technology" in the field. You will serve as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives at our most strategic accounts, providing thought leadership and architectural guidance that aligns WSO2's open source and SaaS solutions with our customers' long-term business goals. This is a hybrid role that demands the technical depth of an architect and the influential communication skills of a senior sales executive.
