Sales Engineer

As a Sales Engineer at Cynomi, you will own the full technical journey of our US MSP/MSSP partners, from Discovery through Proof of Value, Close, Onboarding, and Adoption.

Cynomi is a fast-growing, Silicon Valley VC-backed cybersecurity startup. Experiencing massive growth over the past year, our SaaS product is used by hundreds of service providers worldwide. 

Operating across three continents, Cynomi is leading the vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) market category with rapidly growing demand for its AI-powered vCISO platform, which empowers service providers (MSPs and MSSPs) to provide high quality cybersecurity services to their customers.
