About this role

Tracebit is helping some of the world’s best security teams at Snyk, Docker, Riot Games and many more to ‘assume breach’ at scale. Tracebit detects intrusions in cloud environments using canaries - decoy assets deployed to deceive attackers.


We're at a massive inflection point and there has never been a more exciting time to join us:

  • We are backed by some of the very best investors (Accel, Tapestry and more).
  • We are growing very quickly (we doubled ARR last quarter and will triple this year), having recently closed some incredible customers that we can’t disclose publicly!
  • We are one of the most exciting startups to be part of in the UK, have seen some great feedback from the market and are ready for explosive growth.
  • Regularly featured on top startup lists from industry veterans… Creandum’s Euro Seed top 50 list, Sifted’s 2025 London Startups To Watch, Notions Cloud Top 100, AlbionVC’s NHI Breakdown, MMCs Proactive Security Analysis, Accel’s Euroscape Top Startups 2024, etc.
  • Our research has recently helped fix a P1 security flaw in Google’s Gemini CLI.
  • We're Seed stage, and have grown the company from 2 to 14 people in 18 months,, with plans to triple this in the coming year.

We have strong traction in the US (80% of our customer base and forward-looking business). We've done this with a small team based in London. We've hit product-market fit and it's time to accelerate our growth by building our US sales team in New York.


Therefore, we are searching for a highly driven, emotionally intelligent and energetic individual to join Tracebit to help build our GTM practice from the ground up.


You will report to our Founding Sales Lead, who previously spent 5 years at Snyk as an early employee during a hyper-growth period from $18M to $300M ARR and 200 to 1,200 employees. You will also work closely with Tracebit's Co-Founders, CEO and CTO, who were both early employees at Tessian which was sold to Proofpoint in 2023.
