Technical Account Manager, Enterprise

About Us

Socket helps devs and security teams ship faster by cutting out security busywork. Thousands of orgs use Socket to safely find, audit, and manage open source code. Our customers - from Anthropic to xAI, and Figma to Vercel - love Socket (just check out their tweets to see for yourself!)

Founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh , a long-time open source maintainer with software downloaded over a billion times a month, Socket has raised $ 125M in funding from top angels, operators, and security leaders.

About the Role

You'll own customer success post-sale, working specifically with large enterprise accounts that have complex technical environments and dependency ecosystems. That means understanding how each customer wants to use Socket, helping them get there, and solving problems when things break.

This is a product-focused, technical role. You'll spend your time learning customer environments, asking the right questions to uncover blockers, and translating product capabilities into solutions. You're also the front line for technical support. We don't have a separate support team. When something doesn't work as expected, you investigate.

AEs own renewals and expansion. You own making the customer successful with the product.
