Anvilogic, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Director of Alliances / Business Development
Base pay range: $275,000.00/yr - $330,000.00/yr
Company Description Anvilogic is a Palo Alto-based AI cybersecurity startup founded in 2019 by security veterans and data scientists from Fortune 500 companies. Our mission is to democratize threat detection and hunting for today's SOC teams to be done easily across hybrid, multi‑cloud, and security data lakes without needing to centralize data or rip and replace tools. Further, with our investments in AI‑powered automation of detection‑as‑code to create, test, tune and deploy detections, SOC users can implement high‑efficacy detection and hunting techniques without writing a single line of code nor manually wrangling data.
Anvilogic raised funding in April 2024 and is backed by top‑tier VC firms and prominent industry executives. Anvilogic's AI‑powered Multi‑Data Platform SIEM is used by many of the industry's most advanced security teams.
Role Overview We’re looking for a Director of Alliances / Business Development to build, scale, and execute a high‑impact partner ecosystem that accelerates revenue and expands Anvilogic’s market presence. This leader will own strategic alliances across cloud, data platform, MSSP/consulting, SIEM/SOAR, and technology partners—especially within the Snowflake and Databricks ecosystems and the broader cybersecurity landscape.
