About Compyl

Compyl is a high-growth, venture-backed GRC and automated security compliance platform built by security practitioners for security practitioners. Founded in 2020 by two former CISO's, we replace the spreadsheets, point tools, and consulting engagements security teams have relied on with a single, all-in-one platform that automates evidence collection, control mapping, audit preparation, and continuous monitoring. We're backed by Venture Guides, Contour Venture Partners, and Armory Square Ventures.

Role Summary

As a Sales Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in helping customers understand how Compyl’s GRC platform solves real-world security and compliance challenges. Partnering closely with Sales, you’ll guide prospects through technical evaluations, design tailored solutions, and demonstrate the power and flexibility of Compyl’s platform.

You’ll act as a trusted advisor throughout the sales cycle, from discovery and technical validation to solution design and handoff. This is a highly cross-functional position that connects Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success, while also providing valuable feedback that influences product roadmap, onboarding, and customer experience strategies.
