About the role We’re expanding Sales Engineering at Syndio—and we’re looking for a Sales Engineer to join a team defining what “great” looks like. In this role, you’ll lead high-stakes discovery, deliver executive-ready demos to stakeholders like CHROs and technical/security teams, and become the trusted voice when questions get deep (data, integrations, security, and AI/PII). You’ll also be a critical bridge between Product and Revenue, turning field insight into sharper demos, stronger enablement, and clearer product feedback loops. Why this role is exciting Sales & Technical Wins • Support AEs in high-growth segments, executing technical discovery and delivering high-impact demos that prove Syndio’s value. • Deliver compelling, tailored product demonstrations to CHROs, Compensation leaders, CFOs, and technical buyers, adapting the story to each persona's priorities. • Lead technical discovery to map prospect pain points — compensation inconsistency across business units, compliance obligations spanning multiple jurisdictions, fragmented data ecosystems, pay decision risk — to Syndio's platform capabilities. • Build and run proof-of-concept engagements, working with prospect data where appropriate to demonstrate measurable impact. • Translate complex analytical concepts — compensation modeling, pay decision frameworks, statistical analysis — into business language that resonates with non-technical stakeholders. • Serve as the technical voice in RFPs, security reviews, and competitive evaluations — earning trust with enterprise InfoSec and Privacy teams who need confidence before sharing sensitive compensation and people data. Demo & Enablement Engineering • Build and maintain interactive demo environments and sandbox instances that showcase Syndio's full platform • Create reusable demo assets (guided flows, scenario-based walkthroughs, synthetic datasets) that reduce prep time and raise the quality bar for every sales conversation. • Develop ROI models, competitive battle cards, and technical one-pagers that accelerate deal velocity. • Partner with Product Marketing and Product Management to keep demo content current with the product roadmap and evolving market positioning. Building the Product <> Revenue Bridge • Feed structured field intelligence back to Product — surfacing prospect objections, feature gaps, competitive dynamics, and emerging use cases. • Collaborate with Product and Engineering on beta programs, design-partner sessions, and early-access previews with strategic accounts. • Mentor and onboard future SE hires as the team grows. Basic Requirements: • Enterprise SE Experience: 3+ years supporting complex, Fortune 500 customers and handling sensitive PII. • Security & Compliance Fluency: InfoSec conscious with knowledge of SOC 2, encryption, and AI risk management. • Technical Proficiency: Solid understanding of APIs, integrations, and enterprise LLM usage. • Executive Communication: Strong presentation skills and the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences. • Domain Bridge: Ability to translate complex analytical and AI concepts into business language. • Strategic Demo Design: Designing tailored demonstrations that resonate with both HR leaders and technical buyers. • Curious & Adaptive: High curiosity and the ability to rapidly self-teach new software and domains. About You: • You are a "Technical Visionary": You don't just follow a checklist; you look at a client’s data and requirements, and see the most efficient path to value. • You Thrive on Complexity: You enjoy the "puzzle" of mapping messy, real-world enterprise data into a structured platform. • You are a Strong Communicator: You can explain a complex SQL join to a non-technical HR leader and a product roadmap to a backend engineer. • You are an Early Adopter: You are excited about using AI to augment your workflow and are constantly looking for ways to automate repetitive implementation tasks. • You Value Partnerships: You work well cross-functionally and understand that successful implementations require a blend of technical precision and empathetic customer service.
