StackHawk is reimagining AppSec for AI-driven development, where applications are built faster than AppSec tools can keep up. We enable AppSec teams to prioritize testing and fixing what matters with our AppSec Intelligence Platform, which combines scalable runtime testing with attack surface discovery from source code. By delivering real-time visibility and centralized program intelligence, StackHawk empowers AppSec teams to evaluate risk, prove value, and scale testing coverage.
The reality: AI has accelerated development velocity by 3-5x, enabling code to be written faster than AppSec teams can track it, while threat actors launch attacks at machine speed. Meanwhile, security teams are stuck with tools that can't keep up—SAST creates alert fatigue, legacy DAST catches issues too late, and there's no visibility into what apps exist or how secure they are. Security can't just keep up with AI innovation—it has to fuel it.
StackHawk is already proving this vision in the market, with hundreds of customers—including household Fortune 100 brands across the airline, food & beverage, healthcare, and insurance industries—relying on our platform to secure their rapidly evolving applications. We’ve achieved top-quartile growth and exceptional customer retention, driven by strong inbound demand from security and developer teams who feel the pain of today’s tooling gap. With a rapidly expanding partner ecosystem and a clear path to massive scale, StackHawk is poised to become the AppSec intelligence layer powering the next generation of AI-accelerated software development.
This is an entry- to mid-level sales position and a great place to continue your sales career trajectory. The Sales Development Representative (SDR) position is designed for a career path into the Account Executive positions. It’s a wonderful opportunity for SDRs who have some prior sales experience but need additional experience and training to reach their goals of becoming an Account Executive.
StackHawk seeks a high-energy, driven professional with sound business acumen, strong technical aptitude, and natural sales instincts to join the rapidly expanding sales organization. As a Sales Development Rep, you will evangelize StackHawk by identifying and developing new business through inbound and outbound prospecting efforts within a specific territory to drive pipeline growth and territory sales.

In 2019, StackHawk's founders Joni Klippert, Scott Gerlach, and Ryan Severns recognized a critical gap in application security. Developers were struggling with security tools that created friction rather than protection - legacy DAST solutions caught vulnerabilities too late, SAST generated overwhelming alert fatigue, and security teams lacked visibility into their actual attack surface. They saw that the accelerating pace of software development was making this problem worse, with code being written faster than security teams could track it.

So they built StackHawk: an API-first Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) platform that shifts security left by integrating directly into CI/CD pipelines. Rather than treating security as a final gate, StackHawk combines runtime testing with code-based API discovery, automatically mapping the complete API attack surface and identifying vulnerabilities before production. The platform supports REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs, focusing on accuracy and developer adoption with minimal false positives. What started as a solution to help developers find and fix security bugs faster has evolved into an AppSec Intelligence Platform used by hundreds of companies - including Fortune 100 brands across airlines, healthcare, food & beverage, and insurance - to secure modern applications at the speed of modern development.
