Senior Account Executive - Boston

Daylight is a security services company delivering Managed Agentic Security Services (MASS), including MDR, threat hunting, security data lake, and more, through a fundamentally different architecture than traditional security services providers.

Daylight's architecture combines an agentic platform that runs the full cycle from detection to response with security experts from IR and threat hunting backgrounds. The platform collects identity and business context across systems to investigate alerts and continuously learns your environment. Security experts validate decisions, feed insights into the platform, optimize detections, and take over in case of an incident.

The result: security teams move from firefighting to strategic work.

We’re looking for a Senior Account Executive to join us on our growth journey. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in scaling our sales organization and shaping how we go to market. You’ll work closely with our founders and sales leadership, taking ownership of the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing and beyond.

If you’re passionate about solving complex security challenges for enterprise customers, thrive in building relationships, and want to make a real impact in a fast-moving startup, we’d love to meet you.
