- Support security, compliance, and integration reviews during enterprise due diligence processes.
- Represent Hypernative at industry events, conferences, and technical workshops.
- Work closely with Product, R&D, and Security Engineering to share customer feedback and shape roadmap priorities.
- Help develop technical sales playbooks, demo flows, and objection-handling strategies.
- Collaborate with Customer Success to ensure smooth onboarding and long-term adoption.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Sales Engineering or Solutions Consulting, ideally in cybersecurity, infrastructure SaaS, or blockchain security
- Hands-on knowledge of DeFi mechanics (smart contracts, governance, bridges, oracles, L1/L2s) and Web3 ecosystems
- Comfortable working with banks, custodians, and institutional investors; strong understanding of compliance, risk, and enterprise security
- Proven success in fast-paced startup environments; able to build processes and sales narratives from scratch
