Job description

About 7AI

7AI is the foundational AI security company. Founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders Lior Div and Yonatan Striem-Amit, we came out of stealth in February 2025 to take on the non-human work of the SOC. Our platform pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents that detect, investigate, respond, and hunt, plus dedicated threat hunting and threat intelligence, with humans on the loop.

Backed by $166 million in total funding from investors including Index Ventures and Blackstone, we're building the AI foundation for security operations in the agentic era, and we're still early. That's the appeal: you'll join at a pivotal stage where your work shapes what 7AI becomes, alongside security veterans who've built this before. Our culture runs on respect, collaboration, and a shared bar for excellence, all pointed at one goal, delivering real outcomes for the customers who trust us to defend them.

• Engage with CISOs, Heads of Security Operations, SOC Directors, detection engineers, and managed service leadership as a trusted technical advisor.

• Position Seven AI within existing security architectures (SIEM, SOAR, XDR, EDR) and provide integration and deployment guidance, including multi-tenant environments.

• Support pipeline development through technical discovery, validation, and alignment, helping advance and de-risk opportunities.

• Drive technical win strategies in complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and remove blockers during late-stage deals.

• Strong understanding of security operations, SOC workflows, and detection and response processes.

• Hands-on familiarity with security technologies such as SIEM, SOAR, XDR, EDR, and related platforms.

• Proven ability to support complex enterprise sales cycles.

• Ability to clearly communicate the value of AI-driven automation to both technical and executive audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting or selling security operations platforms or automation technologies.
