Summary Generated by Built In
StackHawk is reimagining AppSec for AI-driven development, where applications are built faster than AppSec tools can keep up. We enable AppSec teams to prioritize testing and fixing what matters with our AppSec Intelligence Platform, which combines scalable runtime testing with attack surface discovery from source code. By delivering real-time visibility and centralized program intelligence, StackHawk empowers AppSec teams to evaluate risk, prove value, and scale testing coverage.
The reality: AI has accelerated development velocity by 3-5x, enabling code to be written faster than AppSec teams can track it, while threat actors launch attacks at machine speed. Meanwhile, security teams are stuck with tools that can't keep up—SAST creates alert fatigue, legacy DAST catches issues too late, and there's no visibility into what apps exist or how secure they are. Security can't just keep up with AI innovation—it has to fuel it.
StackHawk is already proving this vision in the market, with hundreds of customers—including household Fortune 100 brands across the airline, food & beverage, healthcare, and insurance industries—relying on our platform to secure their rapidly evolving applications. We’ve achieved top-quartile growth and exceptional customer retention, driven by strong inbound demand from security and developer teams who feel the pain of today’s tooling gap. With a rapidly expanding partner ecosystem and a clear path to massive scale, StackHawk is poised to become the AppSec intelligence layer powering the next generation of AI-accelerated software development.
This is an entry- to mid-level sales position and a great place to continue your sales career trajectory. The Sales Development Representative (SDR) position is designed for a career path into the Account Executive positions. It’s a wonderful opportunity for SDRs who have some prior sales experience but need additional experience and training to reach their goals of becoming an Account Executive.
