Who We Are
Gravwell is a full-stack security and observability platform built for people who need answers from their data—fast. Whether you're hunting threats, investigating incidents, or validating system health, Gravwell gives you the tools and performance to stay ahead. We're on a mission to simplify the SIEM experience without sacrificing power or flexibility.
About the Role
Gravwell is seeking a talented, driven Sales Engineer to join our growing go-to-market team. As a Sales Engineer, you'll serve as the technical backbone of the sales process — partnering closely with Account Executives to understand customer challenges, deliver compelling product demonstrations, and architect solutions that drive business outcomes. You'll act as a trusted advisor to prospects and customers across industries, helping them unlock the full value of the Gravwell platform.
What You'll Do
You'll be at the intersection of technology and business, helping prospects and customers understand how Gravwell can solve their most pressing challenges. Day-to-day, you'll work alongside Account Executives in a fast-moving sales environment, acting as the technical voice of the deal from first call to close. Expect a mix of discovery conversations, hands-on demos, deep-dive POCs, and strategic customer relationships — no two days look quite the same.
Your Responsibilities
- Partner with Account Executives throughout the full sales cycle, from discovery through close, providing technical expertise and guidance.
- Lead in-depth product demonstrations and proof-of-concept (POC) engagements tailored to customer use cases across security, observability, and IT operations.
- Understand customer environments and translate technical requirements into compelling Gravwell solutions.
- Respond to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires, crafting detailed technical responses.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with technical stakeholders, including IT architects, security analysts, and DevOps teams.
- Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering to relay customer feedback and influence the product roadmap.
- Contribute to internal enablement by developing demo environments, technical collateral, and best practices documentation.
What We're Looking For
- 3–5+ years of experience in a Sales Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or similar customer-facing technical role.
- Hands-on experience with Splunk or comparable platforms such as Elastic, Datadog, or IBM QRadar.
- Strong understanding of at least one of the following domains: Security Operations (SIEM, SOAR, threat detection), IT Operations, or Observability.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and executive audiences.
- Experience with scripting or data manipulation (Python, SPL, JSON).
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, quota-driven environment.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have
- Splunk Core Certified Power User or Enterprise Security certifications.
- Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Background in cybersecurity or network operations.
Why Gravwell?
- Work where your impact is direct, visible, and appreciated
- Full autonomy and trust to solve problems that we may not have known we had
- Flexible remote work setup with a strong support culture
- Access to mission-critical projects and real-world security data
- Help build a better analytics experience

What We Do
Gravwell was founded to bring the benefits of usable machine data to all customers: large or small, text or binary, security or operational. When experienced hackers and big data experts team up you get an analytics platform capable of things never seen outside of Hollywood. Gravwell enables security analytics that go well beyond log data into industrial processes, vehicle fleets, IT infrastructure, or everything combined. Need to hunt down a suspected access breach? Gravwell can correlate build access logs and run facial recognition machine learning against camera data to isolate multiple subjects entering a facility with a single badge-in. We exist to provide analytics capabilities to people who need more than just text log searching and need it sooner rather than later at a price they can afford. Gravwell is a full-stack analytics platform built to handle huge amounts of unstructured data with a pricing model that encourages, rather than punishes, keeping all of that valuable data for later analysis. Data is gold; don't throw it away to cut costs. Gravwell turns the data fire hose into a well of knowledge.
