Partner with Solutions Engineers to deliver technical evaluations and PoVs, securing the AI-native development lifecycle.

Translate customer insights and feedback into structured, actionable loops for Product, Engineering, and Marketing.

Contribute to GTM collateral, case studies, and build repeatable playbooks for converting design partners into customers.

Represent Snyk at targeted industry events, conferences, and roundtables to shape the market narrative.

What You Bring :

You have 710 years of enterprise SaaS sales experience with a strong track record of selling into Fortune 2000 or equivalent large enterprise accounts.

You bring experience in App Security, DevSecOps, ML / AI Tools, or developer toolsand ideally, experience with AI / ML security.

Proven ability to sell in ambiguous, early-stage environments, comfortable with undefined processes and building them from scratch.

You possess strong consultation skills and are able to work with multiple levels within a customer org (C-suite down to engineer).

You can manage the entire sales lifecycle, confidently forecasting short and long-term opportunities with detail and accuracy.

It'd Be Awesome If You Also

Have hands-on experience bringing a new, emerging product to market or working with design partners.

Have a deep understanding of AI / LLMs or modern application security tools.

Are a self-starter who thrives in a startup-like culture inside a larger organization.

Are highly collaborative and can influence disparate groups to move in the same direction (e.g., core AE, Product, Marketing).

Love a good meme. (We take our mission seriously, but not ourselves!).

We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we've created and we value diversity we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you're the right person, do apply anyway!
