About XBOW

At XBOW, we're redefining the future of cybersecurity by building the world's first autonomous pentester, powered by AI. Today, the gold standard for securing software systems is human pentesters, but with the rise of artificial intelligence, we're stepping up to scale offensive security to meet the ever-growing demand.

AI is transforming the landscape of both cybersecurity and cyberattacks. While millions of people without security expertise are creating software, bad actors are using AI to launch more effective attacks. XBOW fights back with AI-driven superpowers, enabling security teams to stay one step ahead.

Backed by Sequoia Capital and a team that includes the creators of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security, XBOW is not just keeping up with the times—we're shaping the future of cybersecurity. Our mission is simple: to defeat the bad actors before they strike, using AI to revolutionize how we approach offensive security.

We're building something that must be built, and we're the team to do it. Join us in shaping the next frontier of autonomous security.

Your Role: Account Executive

We're looking for a tenacious Strategic Account Executive to join our GTM team here at XBOW. This is not a "plug-and-play" role. You'll collaborate closely with XBOW's executive leadership to shape our sales strategy, refine our approach, and improve our internal tools to maximize your effectiveness. Your insights from customer interactions will directly drive the evolution of XBOW's cutting-edge product and technology.

Work closely with your team, founders and product to refine positioning and surface customer insights
Help define and build repeatable outbound and inbound motion

Who You Are

You have demonstrable and proven commercial SaaS sales experience in Security, Application Security
8+ years of experience selling into enterprise customers
Native in German, professional fluency in English
Thrive in early-stage environments where ambiguity is the norm and you like building the playbook, not just running it
Know how to communicate clearly with technical buyers — not afraid to ask questions, dig deep, and listen more than you talk
Can create demand, not just manage it — comfortable prospecting and storytelling in new markets
Are coachable, curious, and motivated by solving real problems for real users
Have an ownership mindset and bias for action

Bonus if you have:

Experience selling to Financial Services or other regulated industries
Sold into engineering, DevOps, or security teams
Experience with compliance or risk-adjacent workflows (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.)
Been a founding or early sales hire before

What We Offer

Compensation & Equity: Competitive salary, commission structure and equity package, making you a true owner of the company and compensated for your output
Career Growth: Shape your role and grow with the company as we redefine cybersecurity.
Meaningful Work: You will tackle complex challenges and play a pivotal role in shaping XBOW's growth into a global player.

What Else You Should Know
