Role details
Job description
Title: Technical Account Manager
Location: Atlanta, GA - Hybrid - 2 days/week
ABOUT US
Witness AI invented intent-based AI security. While legacy tools monitor what users say to AI, we understand what they're trying to accomplish - stopping jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and shadow AI before damage occurs. We provide visibility into how employees and systems use AI - capturing prompts, responses, and agent activity - so security teams can monitor risk, investigate incidents, and enforce guardrails in real time.
