/n Plerion | Sydney preferred or remote AU (Melbourne & Brisbane) /n /n This is not a job for everyone. /n /n This is for someone who wants to help build something – from early-stage ambiguity to a category-defining outcome. /n /n At Plerion, we’re building a world-class cloud + AI security company out of Australia. That alone should tell you something about the ambition here. Not many cyber companies do this successfully from this part of the world – and even fewer get to meaningful scale or exit.
We think we can. Our founders have successfully exited a previous cloud security venture in 2019 and have again built a world class team.
The real question is: do you want to be part of it? /n /n The opportunity /n You’ll be the technical “closer”. /n The person customers trust when things get complex. /n The bridge between deep cloud security problems and clear, confident buying decisions. /n /n You’ll partner tightly with our Account Executives in Sydney & Singapore to: /n /n
- Understand customer challenges
/n
- Deliver appropriate solutions
/n
- Run compelling technical conversations
/n
- Prove value fast
/n
- Help win deals where credibility, clarity, and confidence matter
/n
- Leave no stone unturned to deliver successful outcomes
/n /n This is early-stage, high-impact work. There’s minimal brand awareness, finite resources, and ambitious targets – but also enormous prospect to shape how Plerion scales the technical pre-sales function over time. /n /n And if we execute? This role doesn’t stay small. /n /n Who this is for /n This role is for someone who: /n /n
- Has strong cloud and/or cyber security experience (this matters a lot)
/n
- Has worked close to sales – ideally in pre-sales, solutions engineering, or technical consulting
/n
- Understands that early-stage selling is scrappy, extremely fast moving, and requires judgment, not scripts
/n
- Enjoys working with hungry AEs and being in the deal, not behind the scenes
/n
- Wants to build something – not just support it
/n /n You are: /n /n
- Technically credible and commercially curious
/n
- Calm under pressure in front of customers
/n
- Able to explain complex problems simply and persuasively
/n
- Comfortable operating without perfect processes or endless enablement
/n
- Motivated by impact, ownership, and long-term upside
/n
- Startup experience is a big plus. If you’ve helped scale something before, you already know why this matters.
/n /n What you’ll be doing /n /n
- Partnering with AEs on net-recent, and sometimes complex opportunities
/n
- Running technical demos, architecture discussions, designing workflows & helping customers achieve better cyber outcomes
/n
- Helping customers understand their cloud security risks – and why Plerion matters
/n
- Supporting proof-of-value and trial engagements
/n
- Feeding customer and field insight back into product and GTM
/n
- Helping define what “great” looks like for Sales Engineering at Plerion
/n
- Your judgment, creativity, and technical instincts will directly influence revenue & the overall success of the business.
/n /n The growth path (this is important) /n If we’re successful – and that’s the goal – this role can grow well beyond Sydney. /n /n There is a clear opportunity to: /n /n
- Expand into an ASEAN-wide Sales Engineer role
/n
- Help open and scale new & early markets such as Singapore and the US
/n
- Become a foundational technical leader as the company globalises
/n /n We’re not promising titles for free – but we are offering real opportunity for people who can help us collectively win. /n /n Why this will be worth it /n Let’s be honest – you could take an easier job, and there are plenty of these around. /n More brand. More inbound. More certainty. /n But in return, you get: /n /n
- The chance to build a globally relevant cyber security company from the ground up
/n
- Real influence on deals, customers, and product direction
/n
- Close partnership with sales and founders
/n
- Competitive remuneration with meaningful upside, including equity & significant learning opportunities
/n
- A front-row seat to scaling internationally – and the chance to go with it
/n /n Not many cyber companies come out of Australia and win globally. /n We think Plerion can. /n /n The question /n Building an early-stage company is brutal. /n It’s also rare, rewarding, and career-defining when it works. /n /n Can you do it? /n If this description excites you more than it scares you, we should talk. /n /n No recruiters, sorry. /n
