Our Client
Our client is a global cybersecurity scale-up. The company is based in Paris, London, New York City, and Boston.
Among the client's early investors who saw its market value proposition are the co-founder of GitHub, Scott Chacon, along with Solomon Hykes, Docker's co-founder. American and European top-tier VC firms have also invested in the company, which raised its Series C in early 2026.
Our client helps enterprises close credential-based breach paths. It finds secrets wherever they live, prioritizes remediation based on rich context, and prevents new exposure across code, systems, and AI. The platform is already used by more than 600K developers worldwide and by 50 of the Fortune 500!
About the Team
Their typical customers are companies with hundreds to thousands of developers leveraging SaaS applications, cloud infrastructures, or internal microservices, and are mature on DevOps and cloud adoption.
Their products are used by different teams: Software Development and Ops, Application Security, and Threat Response. Buying decisions come from CISOs, CTOs, and Directors of Security.
Role Overview

This role is designed for disciplined sellers who execute consistently, build lasting customer relationships, and contribute to the maturity of the client's growing European sales organization.
