Every day, the world gets more digital thanks to tens of millions of developers building the future faster than ever. But with exponential growth comes exponential risk, as outnumbered security teams struggle to secure mountains of code. This is where Snyk (pronounced “sneak”) comes in. Snyk is a developer security platform that makes it easy for development teams to find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure — and do it all right from the start. Snyk is on a mission to make the world a more secure place by empowering developers to develop fast and stay secure.
Joining Snyk means embracing our core values: One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking. As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic environment where fostering collaboration, leading with empathy, driving business impact, and inspiring trust are at the heart of everything we do.

We're looking for a collaborative, hard-working Account Executive to join one of the hottest startups!
Your Role
As part of the EMEA Sales team within a global sales organization, you will play a significant role in scaling one of the fastest-growing companies in the Developer Security space.

- 2+ years of closing experience.
- An understanding of the software developer lifecycle and the ability to articulate how a developer tooling product might fit in.
- Experience identifying target accounts that would be a good fit and generating a pipeline through outbound activity.
- Experience working within both short and long sales cycles.

- A collaborative work ethic and a passion for being part of a high-achieving sales team.
- Resilience: you view mistakes and failures as learning opportunities and value feedback.
- An open, honest, and entrepreneurial approach to sales, mindful of your customer's risk tolerance.
