About Darktrace
What a Darktrace seller puts in front of a CISO is three products on one behavioral AI: / HYBRID NETWORK for network, cloud and OT traffic, / EMAIL for phishing and account takeover across mail and collaboration tools, and the newer / SECURE AI for a customer's own AI systems and agents. The field runs two motions: acquisition account executives hunt new logos in a territory they must live in, among organizations under $1B in revenue that the postings call the heart of the business, while expansion AEs grow a book of existing customers (one London seat covers education) and Key Account Directors in Munich and Paris close Global 500 accounts. Each motion has its own solutions engineers, so 11 of the 29 sales openings are SE or pre-sales seats, against 12 account executive and key account roles, 3 SDR seats in its Sales Development Academy, 2 revenue operations posts and one sales director leading the Tokyo team. The Phoenix SDR and the Spanish-speaking Mexico AE postings are standing talent pools rather than single seats. Only 7 openings are in the US (Denver, Phoenix, New England and remote coverage of the East Coast and central states); about three quarters sit abroad, led by Munich with 5 and London with 4.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
