Who We Are

Security teams are drowning in alerts, fragmented workflows, and tools that don’t talk to each other. Adversaries are moving faster than ever, deploying ransomware or stealing data in hours instead of days.

Organizations don’t want more alerts. They want broad coverage without being limited by human time. They need systems that can recognize when something’s wrong, explain what happened, and guide them on what to do next.

Prophet Security is building an AI SOC platform to deliver exactly that. We bring reasoning, context, and consistency to every investigation and scale with the needs of the mission. Powered by large language models and decades of Security Operations experience, we help analysts investigate and respond at machine speed, transforming what SOCs can do today and redefining what’s possible tomorrow.

Who You Are

You’ve never lost a game of “stump-the-chump” with a technical audience. No one has all the answers, but you've spent enough time in the trenches of security operations to speak fluently about analyst workflow and investigative rigor.

You’re comfortable in the driver’s seat on a quarter-making opportunity, but most of your satisfaction these days comes from building incredible teams, forging ironclad processes to secure technical wins, and staying deep enough in the weeds to ensure the organization is successful. If the devil is in the details; you’re right there in the flames.

You’re a leader and an operator. A technical whisperer with strong EQ and a propensity to action. You elevate former practitioners into elite technical sellers by systemizing excellence, and are searching for an opportunity that actually makes the security world a better place.

Why You Matter

In the world of AI SOC – trust is everything. You lead the organization that encounters our customers first and are responsible for the initial trust we establish through technical competence and storytelling. In short, you’ll be charged with:

  • Leading and growing our Sales Engineering team of former security practitioners.

  • Architecting and managing our sales process from initial technical discovery, proper qualification, POV execution, and ultimately deal closure.

  • Serving as the technical escalation point across strategic customer engagements.

  • Ensuring every evaluation reflects clarity, execution discipline, and a high bar for technical depth.

What You’ll Bring
  • Proven leadership building high-performing Sales Engineering teams – ideally within cybersecurity

  • A history of operating in or directly supporting real security operations

  • Hands-on experience owning and scaling POV/POC motions

  • A meticulous and process-driven mindset

  • A bias toward action and decision-making

  • Exceptional communication range, able to move fluidly between technical validation, SOC expert, and customer storytelling.
