Unleash AI Innovators, Securely

Software is being rewritten in real time. AI agents are starting to write more code than humans do, at a speed no security team has ever had to match, and that single shift is opening up the biggest opportunity our industry has seen in a decade. We're not bracing for it, we're building the company that owns it.

Snyk is building the next generation security platform where security isn't a set of tools people operate. It's a team of security agents working alongside your engineers, finding, fixing, and governing risk at the speed software is now built. These agents work alongside both the company build and the agents they adopt. Security stops being a queue of work waiting for people, and becomes a coordinated workforce companies direct and trust.

Why this role?

You will have the privilege of interacting with customers at the most senior level of the Security and Engineering organizations.

You’ll join a team that is resilient, business savvy, and curious, where we see the value our product offers and want it to be part of every software development process. Capitalizing on your territory knowledge, you will utilize connections in the market to grow your account base and help drive our mission to embed security into every part of the AI-native development lifecycle.

  • Manage renewal and expansion for your customer base, ensuring long-term outcomes and partnership growth.

  • Forecast with accuracy and detail for both short and long-term opportunities while proactively mitigating close-lost rates.

What You Bring:
  • Significant Enterprise Sales Experience: You have a minimum of 5 years experience owning the entire sales cycle for a technical product on Enterprise level accounts (Fortune 1000).

  • Proven Track Record: You are self-motivated and hard-working with a history of exceeding your quota and closing million-dollar+ ARR transactions.

  • Domain Expertise: You’ve excelled at selling into Cybersecurity, DevOps, or DevSecOps groups, or have significant enterprise software sales experience generating and closing large & complex transactions.
