Strategic Account Executive, APJ

ABOUT DEPTHFIRST

We believe that software is the foundation of modern civilization - yet vulnerabilities threaten its integrity, security, and resilience. We are on a mission to solve security.

depthfirst is building intelligence to detect and remediate critical software vulnerabilities. We are training and scaling security AI agents to discover zero-days vulnerabilities across large customer codebases and popular open source software.

Our founding team includes deep expertise in data, infrastructure, security and LLMs with technical leaders from DeepMind, Databricks, Square, and Faire. We are looking for strong technically-minded people who are interested in working at the intersection of AI, Security and Infrastructure.

You'll engage directly with CISOs, CTOs, and senior Security and Engineering leaders, helping them rethink how they secure their software and adopt AI-powered security solutions.

As an early member of our APJ go-to-market team, you'll have the opportunity to help define our regional strategy, establish a strong market presence, and build the foundation for long-term growth.
