  • Close Enterprise Deals: Lead high-stakes meetings with CTOs, CISOs, and engineering leaders, demonstrating how Socket secures the software supply chain without friction
  • Travel the Circuit: Be our featured speaker at both security conferences (RSA, Black Hat) and developer events (JSConf, Node.js conferences) – expect 2-3 trips monthly
  • Own the Technical Narrative: Create compelling content including documentation, integration guides, security whitepapers, and viral developer content
  • Bridge Worlds: Translate between security requirements and developer needs, ensuring our product satisfies both constituencies
  • Build Strategic Alliances: Forge partnerships across the security and developer ecosystems, especially with npm/GitHub
  • Shape Our Brand: Establish Socket as the definitive solution for developer-first supply chain security through thought leadership

What You’ll Need

  • 10+ years leading and scaling security and developer platform teams at technology companies
  • Deep expertise in JavaScript ecosystem and npm package management
  • Proven experience with software supply chain security challenges
  • Technical credibility with both security professionals and developers
  • Track record of closing enterprise deals through technical leadership
  • Exceptional communication across all formats (written, verbal, presentation)
  • Experience building or leading developer communities
  • Strategic mindset connecting technical details to business outcomes
  • Excitement for extensive travel and cross-timezone customer engagement

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience at npm, GitHub, or major JavaScript ecosystem company
  • Security certifications or recognized expertise in application security
  • Open source project leadership or significant contributions
  • Conference speaking experience at major industry events

At Socket, we

  1. Pursue Excellence: We set ourselves apart by consistently delivering work of exceptional quality and distinction.
  2. Move with urgency and focus: We prioritize swift, decisive action.
  3. Think rigorously: We care about being right and it often takes reasoning from first principles to get there. We value alternative perspectives and have constructive discussions.
  4. Trust and amplify: We overtrust, always assume good intent, and give specific feedback to help each other improve.
  5. Feel a strong sense of ownership: We wear many hats and feel a strong sense of overall ownership of the company and we’re non-territorial regarding our nominal domains.
  6. Are customer obsessed: We relentlessly prioritize the needs of our customers, striving to exceed their expectations and delight them at every interaction.
