About Censys
The product a Censys seller carries is data: a constantly rescanned map of hosts, services and certificates on the internet, sold as Censys Search, attack surface management, adversary investigation and critical infrastructure monitoring to SOC, threat intelligence and exposure management teams at large companies (the company counts half the Fortune 500) and at government agencies. Enterprise selling runs by US region under sales VPs for the West and the East, with each account executive working alongside solutions engineers, SDRs and channel managers; both enterprise AE postings ask for a record against a quota of about $1M, and the Southeast one wants 10 or more years of software selling. A separate federal group, mostly on the East Coast, is hiring a hunter for a Department of War named-account list who runs the contracting path through the integrators and resellers that hold the paper, a director who builds systems integrator partnerships, and a post-sale customer success manager for agency accounts. Two channel account managers, Central and East, each own a portfolio of VARs and co-sell with the enterprise reps. Nine of the 11 sales openings are in the US; the other two are a solutions engineer in Seoul and a remote technical account manager who will be one of the first post-sale hires for Asia-Pacific and Japan.
