About Strix
We believe that software is the foundation of modern civilization — yet vulnerabilities threaten its integrity, security, and resilience. Strix is on a mission to solve security.
Strix builds autonomous AI penetration testing agents that think like attackers: discovering, validating, and helping fix real vulnerabilities across live applications, codebases, and infrastructure — continuously, not once a year. We are looking for strong technical people who want to work at the intersection of AI, security, and infrastructure.
About this role
We're seeking a Founding Account Executive to own revenue at Strix — building pipeline, running technical sales cycles with security leaders, and shaping how autonomous pentesting is bought.
You're excited about this role because you will…
Own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close with CISOs and security engineering leaders
Work directly with the founders to define positioning, pricing, and the GTM playbook
Turn a product customers love — real vulnerabilities found in days — into a repeatable sales motion
Build the foundation (and eventually the team) for Strix's revenue organization
Qualifications
4+ years of B2B SaaS closing experience, ideally selling security or developer tools
Track record of exceeding quota in early-stage or founder-led sales environments
Comfort running technical evaluations and speaking credibly about security
Entrepreneurial energy: you build process where none exists
A tendency to leave things in a better way than you found them
What we offer
Competitive salary with meaningful equity
Health, vision, and dental insurance
Office lunch and dinner (when working from our New York office)
