Job description

About Hopper Hopper is redefining open-source security with a platform purpose-built for AppSec, DevSecOps, software, and security engineering teams. Our function-level reachability engine cuts 93% of false positives found in traditional SCA tools, delivering fast, accurate visibility with agentless onboarding and real-time asset discovery. We’ve expanded this foundation with AI capabilities like the Grace Coding Companion, powered by our MCP server, to detect hallucinated, malicious, or low-quality packages from LLMs before they enter your codebase. Hopper also supports AI-powered remediation, policy, and reporting to secure the software supply chain without adding friction. We’re backed by top-tier investors and trusted by security-forward Fortune 500 companies.

About The Role We’re looking for a high-impact Business Development Representative (BDR) with a hunter mindset and a proven ability to generate qualified pipeline in a technical and fast-paced environment.

• Collaborate closely with GTM team to prioritize target accounts, share insights, and convert early interest into real pipeline

• Strong grasp of technical buyers and a willingness to dive into complex topics like SDLC, vulnerability management, and secure development

• Sees AI as a force multiplier, not a threat: comfortable using AI-enabled sales tools, enrichment platforms, and automation workflows to increase precision, speed, and creativity in prospecting
• Experience working with HubSpot CRM (required)
• Excellent writing and communication skills with a sharp sense of positioning
• Highly organized, self-motivated, and collaborative
