## Job description

Identity has become a critical to an organizations security posture. This is true across their entire digital landscape include cloud, traditional on prem and emerging technologies like agentic ai. Britive is at the forefront of a modern approach to delivering identity security with the only modern privileged access management platform that provides unified Privileged Access Visibility, Dynamic Privilege Management and Secrets Governance across infrastructure, platforms & SaaS.

Our patent-pending technology is deployed at companies of all sizes around the world, including  Fortune 500 companies. We have repeatedly ranked among the hottest Cloud Security startups. Britive is founded by CyberSecurity industry veterans with a successful prior exit and is backed by top-tier VCs.

## About Britive

Britive is the leader in Cloud-Native Privileged Access Management (CPAM), delivering the industry’s first dynamic, agentless platform purpose-built to eliminate standing privileges and enforce Just-in-Time (JIT) ephemeral access across multi-cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments. Our API-first platform unifies security policy enforcement across human, agentic AI, and non-human/machine identities—integrating natively with leading identity providers (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and DevOps pipelines (Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions). Trusted by Fortune 500 organizations, Britive enables Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) by design, securing access without slowing down engineering teams.

## About You

You are an experienced Sales Engineer who combines deep technical fluency with a passion for customer success. You thrive in complex enterprise environments, are equally comfortable presenting to a CISO and whiteboarding an API integration with a DevOps team, and you bring the consultative instincts to guide prospects through every stage of a technical sale—from initial discovery through proof-of-concept and close. You are results-driven, relationship-focused, and ready to hit the ground running in a high-growth, fast-paced startup environment.

## Your Impact

## Key Responsibilities

- Lead technical discovery calls to assess prospect environments, identify pain points around privileged access, identity sprawl, and cloud security posture, and determine product/client fit.
- Deliver compelling standard and custom product demonstrations tailored to prospect-specific environments, including multi-cloud architectures, IdP integrations (Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity), and DevOps workflows.
- Own and execute Proof-of-Concept (POC) engagements end-to-end—defining success criteria, configuring test use cases, guiding customer implementation, and driving to a technical win.
- Proactively evangelize the capabilities of Britive’s platform, including JIT/ephemeral access, Zero Standing Privileges, and unified identity security across cloud and on-prem environments.
- Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to translate field feedback into product improvements and maintain deep, current knowledge of the platform.
- Partner with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle to develop technical strategies, respond to RFPs and security questionnaires, and remove technical blockers.
- Build strong relationships as a trusted technical advisor, ensuring customers maximize the value of their Britive investment and creating strong references, renewal opportunities, and upsell potential.
- Continuously gather competitive intelligence and market feedback to inform positioning and go-to-market strategies.

## About Britive

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Britive provides a cloud-native Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform that enforces zero standing privileges for humans, non-human identities, and AI agents through patented runtime authorization.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Glendale, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Identity Security, Cloud Security, Privileged Access Management
- Target customers: Security, cloud operations, and development teams in enterprises operating multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments (B2B, Enterprise)
- Mission or purpose statement: “Architect risk out of your environment through runtime identity access enforcement” – eliminating standing liabilities by minting dynamic, ephemeral privileges exactly when needed.

## Products & Services
- **[Britive Platform (Cloud PAM)]**: A SaaS, API-first platform that provides just-in-time (JIT) ephemeral access for all identity types (human, non-human, AI agents). It enforces Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) across public/private cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes), SaaS apps, databases, and on-prem networks. Agentless, proxy-less, and integrable with existing IdPs and CI/CD pipelines.
- **[PyBritive CLI]**: Command-line tool for developers to self-service access and manage IaC workflows while maintaining strict privilege enforcement.
- **[Integrations]**: Native integrations with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Salesforce Agentforce, Amazon Q, Microsoft 365 Copilot, as well as databases (Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.) and homegrown/legacy apps.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue ≈ $2.8M (LinkedIn estimate); Total Funding $35.9M (Series B $20.5M in March 2023, led by Pelion Venture Partners; Series A $10M led by Crosslink Capital; Seed $5.4M led by Upfront Ventures)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Pelion Venture Partners, Crosslink Capital, Upfront Ventures. Exclusive Runtime PAM & ZSP Partner for AWS Security Hub Extended.
- **Growth Signals**: Employees growing 5.3% YoY (46 employees); headcount up 1.7% monthly; active job postings (12); recent expansion to agentic AI use cases; new partnership with AWS Security Hub.

## Competitive Advantages
- **True Zero Standing Privileges by Design**: Unlike vault-based PAM that rotates static passwords, Britive separates authentication from authorization, granting ephemeral permissions only at runtime and automatically revoking them after use.
- **Unified Control Plane for All Identities**: One policy model covers humans, non‑human (service accounts, bots), and agentic AI identities across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
- **Agentless & API-First Architecture**: No proxies, agents, or vault dependencies; integrates natively into existing DevSecOps toolchains without slowing down engineering velocity.
- **Runtime Enforcement**: Permissions are evaluated and minted at the exact moment of execution, leaving no standing privileges for attackers to exploit.

## Strategic Focus
- **Extending to Agentic AI Security**: Ensuring that autonomous AI agents (e.g., Salesforce Agentforce, Amazon Q, Microsoft 365 Copilot) operate with zero standing privileges under the same policy model.
- **Deepening Cloud Ecosystem Integration**: Continued partnership with AWS Security Hub and expansion to Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments.
- **Scaling Sales & Engineering**: Active hiring across Engineering (Bengaluru, San Francisco) and Sales (US) to support growing demand from enterprises transitioning from legacy PAM.

## Why Work Here
- **Fully Remote Company**: “Work from anywhere!” – Britive is 100% remote with teammates spread across the US, India, UK, and Canada.
- **Benefits**: Medical, dental, vision insurance; paid parental leave; flexible PTO; home office and connectivity stipend; 401(k), equity, life and disability insurance; career development paths.
- **Culture**: Values ownership, transparency, customer obsession, learning, and focusing on impact. Small team (~47) with smart, passionate individuals; quarterly all‑hands and leader Q&As to maintain connection.
- **Engineering Culture**: API-first, IaC‑friendly platform; developers use PyBritive CLI and work with cloud infrastructure. Emphasis on autonomy and making history alongside industry experts.
