Censys · Seattle
Sales & Businessposted 6d ago
Censys’ mission is to be the one place to understand everything on the internet. Frustrated by the lack of trustworthy Internet intelligence, we set out to create the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date map of the Internet. Today, Censys delivers real-time Internet intelligence and actionable threat insights to global governments, over 50% of the Fortune 500, and leading threat intelligence providers worldwide.
Censys has emerged as a leader in internet-scale attack surface management — and we're scaling the sales org to match. This is your shot to own the Pacific Northwest at exactly the moment a Series D, category-defining security company needs its next great territory builder.
You'll report to our Area VP of Sales (West) and sit alongside a sharp bench of Sales Engineers, Channel Managers, and SDRs who move fast and back each other up. You won't just be closing deals in one of the most security-sophisticated regions in the country — Seattle and Portland's density of enterprise cloud, SaaS, and security buyers makes this one of the highest-leverage territories in the company. You'll also help write the playbook other AEs use as we scale, working directly with sales leadership to shape process, not just execute it.
If you're energized by category-leader momentum but still want the freedom (and occasional chaos) of building something from a still-early stage — territory strategy, deal structure, even parts of the sales motion aren't fully fixed yet — this is built for you.
