Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud.

Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.

It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.

Why this role?

As a Customer Development Account Executive, you’ll play a key role in shaping how modern organizations in Brazil and the wider LATAM region build and secure software at scale. You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking team and help drive our mission to embed security into every part of the AI-native development lifecycle. This is an outbound sales role where you will be at the forefront of scaling one of the fastest-growing companies in the Developer Security space within a high-growth market.

What You’ll Do:
  • Lead the end-to-end post-sales customer journey for your assigned book of business, identifying opportunities to expand and retain clients.

  • Build and mature a pipeline within the Brazilian and LATAM territories through proactive outbound activity.

  • Own the end-to-end sales cycle for net-new customers, navigating both short and long sales cycles.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with SEs, SDRs, and Marketing "pods" to anchor the team toward mutual growth goals.

  • Build strong relationships with key stakeholders in DevSecOps, Development, and Digital Transformation teams.

  • Shape the way LATAM organizations adopt secure development practices by articulating the value of Snyk’s AI-powered tools.

What You Bring:
  • Fluency in English and Portuguese (Spanish is a strong plus) with the ability to conduct complex business negotiations in both.

  • 7+ years of closing experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

  • Strong understanding of the software developer lifecycle (SDLC) and how security tooling integrates into developer workflows.

  • Experience in technical sales, specifically identifying target accounts and generating pipeline through outbound motions.

  • Intermediate knowledge of the AppSec market, with the ability to learn and apply SPICED foundations to customer discussions.

  • Curiosity, initiative, and a bias for action, with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding quotas.

It’d Be Awesome If You Also…
  • Have previous experience working in a fully remote position within the LATAM region.

  • Bring hands-on experience with AI/LLMs or modern cloud-native security tools.

  • Are a resilient learner who views challenges as opportunities to improve and values regular feedback.

We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
