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

  • Customize 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.
Why you'll love it here:
  • 💰 Competitive Compensation. For this role our salary is £71,050-101,500 OTE per year. Final offer amounts are determined by factors such as experience and expertise. We take a geo neutral approach to compensation, meaning that we pay based on job function and level, not location. 
  • 🏆  Syndio Equity. So you can share in Syndio’s success.
  • 🏝 20 day Vacation Policy. Plus two week long company-wide shut down the last week of December. 
  • 🏦 Pension contribution
  • 📍 Remote-first with opportunities for local meet-ups in London, UK area. 
Role Progression:

In the 1st Month:

  • Master the Syndio platform and core technical narrative, and internalize the competitive landscape.
  • Shadow sales cycles, discovery calls, and technical discussions to integrate with core Account Executive partners.
  • Become familiar with existing demo environments and reusable assets.

At 3 Months:

  • Independently managing the technical cycle for mid-market or standard enterprise accounts with minimal oversight.
  • Build or maintain at least one interactive demo environment or synthetic dataset.
  • Successfully complete a technical voice task like an RFP response or a security review.
  • Proactively contribute structured field intelligence back to Product Management.

By 6 Months:

  • Be fully ramped, consistently meeting or exceeding technical win-rate targets for assigned territory.
  • Identify and suggest improvements to existing demo assets and sales collateral based on field feedback.
  • Develop a new reusable demo asset, ROI model, or technical one-pager that accelerates deal velocity for the team.
