## Job description

## About depthfirst

We believe that software is the foundation of modern civilization - yet vulnerabilities threaten its integrity, security, and resilience. We are on a mission to solve security. depthfirst is building intelligence to detect and remediate critical software vulnerabilities. We are training and scaling security AI agents to discover zero-days vulnerabilities across large customer codebases and popular open source software. Our founding team includes deep expertise in data, infrastructure, security and LLMs with technical leaders from DeepMind, Databricks, Square, and Faire. We are looking for strong technically-minded people who are interested in working at the intersection of AI, Security and Infrastructure.

## About this role

We’re seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial Field Marketer to build depthfirst’s field marketing program. You will help set our field marketing strategy an own its execution. You will contribute to building brand awareness through memorable presences at large industry trade shows and building pipeline through our own events and participation in smaller trade shows and local events.

You’re excited about this role because you will…

- Own depthfirst’s first presence at Black Hat, including creating a stand-out, experiential booth to build awareness and planning and executing smaller events during the conference to build pipeline.
- Build a repeatable and scalable event motion, including:
- Upscale, invite-only events for executives in target accounts
- depthfirst hosted thought leadership events in collaboration with security partners and customers
- Partner roadshows and co-marketing events
- Regional conferences
- Partner with BDRs and AEs to identify target accounts, secure attendance, set meetings, and progress deals after events.
- Write copy and messaging for invites, landing pages, email sequences, reminders, and post-event follow-up.
- Own event operations end-to-end: budgeting, venue and vendor sourcing, logistics, staffing, and onsite execution.
- Create a field playbook that scales: templates, outreach workflows, run-of-show, budget tiers, staffing plans, and reporting.

## Qualifications

- 5–12 years of B2B field marketing experience, with a track record of running events that improve brand awareness and drive pipeline.
- Proven ability to own end-to-end event execution: targeting, outreach, registration, logistics, onsite, and follow-through.
- Experience in a strong field marketing org. You’ve seen what “great” looks like and can recreate it at a startup.
- Comfortable operating and executing independently.
- Strong cross-functional partner, especially with sales teams (BDRs, AEs) and leadership.
- Metrics-oriented. You can define what success means, instrument it, and report it clearly.

Bonus Points For

- Experience in cybersecurity.
- Partner and channel co-marketing experience.
- Experience building a field program from scratch at a high-growth startup.

## What We Offer

- Competitive salary with meaningful equity

## About DepthFirst

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Autonomous security platform that uses AI to continuously find, validate, and fix exploitable vulnerabilities across code, infrastructure, dependencies, and runtime environments.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B, $80M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Qasim Mithani, Daniele Perito, Andrea Michi

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity (AI-native autonomous security)
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (developers, security teams, CISOs)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Secure the world’s most important software."

## Products & Services
- **Agentic Pentesting**: Autonomous penetration testing that runs dynamic exploits against running applications to confirm real attack paths.
- **Supply Chain Security**: Traces risk through full dependency trees and surfaces only vulnerabilities with a real execution path.
- **Secrets & Sensitive Data**: Detects and validates credentials across codebase, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments.
- **Code Security**: Finds vulnerabilities by tracing business logic, data flows, and cross-service interactions across the codebase.
- **Dependency Firewall**: Detects and blocks malicious behavior before it spreads in the environment.
- **Fix & Verify**: Generates merge-ready pull requests for every confirmed vulnerability, then replays the attack post-fix to ensure the vulnerability is truly resolved.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $80M (Series B announced March 2026, led by Meritech Capital Partners; Series A with 12 investors)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Meritech Capital Partners (lead Series B), plus 12 Series A investors. Backed by leading investors in AI, security, and software.
- **Growth Signals**: 33 employees (366.7% YoY growth); 11 active job postings; claims 8x more true positives and 95% fewer false positives vs. leading tools; 90% of fixes accepted by developers; $5M in platform credits offered to open source maintainers via the Open Defense Initiative.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native context-aware reasoning** – The platform understands code, business logic, and infrastructure to find complex vulnerabilities (including business logic flaws and chained exploits) that siloed tools miss.
- **Extremely low false positives and high fix acceptance** – 95% false positive reduction and 90% developer-accepted fixes create trust and productivity.
- **Founding team** – Built security at Cash App/Faire, infrastructure at AWS/Databricks, and AI research at Google DeepMind (contributions to Gemini, AlphaDev, Nature publications).
- **Continuous autonomous verification** – After each fix, the same attack is replayed in the running application; vulnerabilities are only closed when exploitation fails, not when code changes.

## Strategic Focus
- Advancing AI agents for security through reinforcement learning (training vulnerability discovery agents, e.g., dfs-mini1 model).
- Scaling enterprise adoption and expanding the Open Defense Initiative to secure widely deployed open source projects.
- Building a research-driven applied AI lab focused on software security.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Positioned as an "applied AI lab" at the frontier of security and AI research. Team members come from top companies like Databricks, Meta, Google DeepMind, Faire, and Notion.
- **Work policy**: On-site in San Francisco (multiple offices, including 250 Montgomery St and 1 Sutter St).
- **Open roles**: 11 positions across Engineering (Backend, Product, Security, Research), Sales (Account Executive, SDR, Solutions Engineer), Product Design, and Business Operations.
- **Notable perks**: Not explicitly detailed but typical for well-funded Series B startups; equity, competitive compensation, and the chance to work on cutting-edge autonomous security in a rapidly growing team.
