About The Position

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. You'll own customer success post-sale for a portfolio of commercial customers. That means understanding how each customer wants to use Socket, helping them get there quickly, and solving problems when things break. This is a product-focused, technical role. You'll balance hands-on customer guidance with scalable programs that help many customers adopt Socket successfully. You'll learn customer environments, uncover blockers, and translate product capabilities into practical 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 customers successful with the product and building repeatable motions that scale.
