About AegisAI

We’re a team of ex-Google engineers who built some of the largest defensive platforms on the planet — Safe Browsing (protecting 5B+ devices) and reCAPTCHA (protecting millions of websites).

Now we’re taking on an even bigger challenge: stopping the new wave of AI-powered email attacks hitting organizations today.

Email security is a $5B+ market ripe for disruption. Legacy rule-based and ML systems can’t keep up with adversaries using AI to craft highly customized, evasive attacks. AegisAI is building an LLM-native email security platform designed for this new threat landscape - adaptive, fast, and fundamentally different.

The Role

We’re looking for an aggressive, high-ownership Account Executive to help bring AegisAI to market. You’ll be on the front lines - educating CISOs and security leaders, running full‑cycle deals, and shaping how this category is sold.

We have breakthrough technology and a world‑class engineering team. Your mission is to turn that into revenue, pipeline, and market momentum .

You’ll work closely with founders, product, and marketing to connect top‑of‑funnel demand with enterprise, partner, and PLG‑assisted sales motions .

This is not a “run the playbook” role - you’ll help write it.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full sales cycle from first conversation to close for mid‑market and enterprise customers
  • Generate and close net‑new pipeline , not just work inbound
  • Sell to security leaders (CISO, Head of Security, IT leadership) with a consultative, technical approach
  • Clearly articulate why AI‑native email security beats legacy rule‑based and ML systems
  • Partner with founders and product to influence roadmap, pricing, and positioning
  • Collaborate with marketing on messaging, campaigns, and feedback loops from the field
  • Help define early sales processes, discovery frameworks, and qualification standards

Why This Is Hard (and Why It’s Fun)

  • The threat landscape changes daily — what worked yesterday is obsolete tomorrow
  • Buyers are sophisticated and skeptical; you’ll need to sell new detection paradigms , not checkboxes
  • Feedback loops are fast, direct, and unfiltered
  • You’ll be selling a product that’s actively fighting AI vs. AI in real time

Why We’ll Win

  • The market is massive and incumbents are too slow to adapt
  • Our team has built internet‑scale security systems before
  • This is our third category‑defining security product
  • AI and security are built into the core — not bolted on
  • We hire top performers and move fast: no politics, no hierarchy, no fluff

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of enterprise or mid‑market SaaS sales experience
  • Proven track record of closing six‑figure+ deals and driving millions in pipeline
  • Comfortable selling technical, security‑focused products
  • Self‑starter who can prospect, run deals, and close without heavy enablement
  • Bias toward action — you think in days and weeks , not quarters
  • Strong discovery skills and the ability to translate technical value into business impact

Bonus Points

  • Experience selling security, email security, or detection systems
  • Exposure to PLG‑assisted sales motions
  • Experience working at an early‑stage or Series A startup
  • Comfort selling alongside highly technical founders

Our Culture

  • Flat, fast, and founders have sales DNA
  • Clear KPIs, full ownership
  • Development cycles measured in days
  • You’ll have real influence - on deals, strategy, and the company itself

If you want to build and sell AI that fights AI , work directly with builders who’ve done it at global scale, and help define the future of email security — come talk to us .
