Job summary

Cyrion Ai Ltd is hiring its first sales engineer in the United States to define how demos are presented, scoped, and evaluated by security-conscious buyers. You’ll work directly with the founders to shape the sales motion, not just execute it.

You’ll run technical demos and PoCs, translate environments into defensible engagements, answer deep security questions, and help shape the product roadmap through prospect feedback.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in sales engineering, solutions architecture, or a customer-facing security role.
• Technical depth in offensive or application security; credible with CISOs and engineers.
• Comfortable owning ambiguity; there is no existing playbook to follow.

Responsibilities

• Run technical demos and proof-of-concept engagements with prospective customers’ security and engineering teams.
• Own scoping conversations — translating a prospect’s environment into a defensible engagement plan.
• Answer deep technical and security-posture questions (architecture, data handling, compliance mapping) during evaluation.
• Partner with product and research to relay prospect feedback into the roadmap.
• Build the reusable demo environments, scoping templates, and security questionnaires the team will use going forward.

Job description

Be the technical voice in every deal, from first demo to signed scope agreement.

As our first sales engineer, you’ll define how Cyrion is demoed, scoped, and technically evaluated by security-conscious buyers. You will work directly with founders and shape the sales motion, not just execute one.

• Own scoping conversations, translating a prospect’s environment into a defensible engagement plan.
• Answer deep technical and security-posture questions (architecture, data handling, compliance mapping) during evaluation.

• Build the reusable demo environments, scoping templates, and security questionnaires the team will use going forward.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years in sales engineering, solutions architecture, or a customer-facing security role.
• Genuine technical depth in offensive or application security, you need to be credible with CISOs and engineers alike.
• Comfortable owning ambiguity, there is no existing playbook to follow.

Nice to have

• Prior experience selling into security/compliance-conscious mid-market or enterprise buyers

Competitive base + commission, meaningful early equity, full health coverage, and a $2,000/yr learning budget.
