Who are we?

At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk.

We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface.

We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale.

At UpGuard, our Sales team continues to be the engine of our growth, moving beyond simple transactions to become trusted architects of digital resilience. In an era where third-party risk is more complex than ever, we maintain a highly collaborative, consultative culture that puts the customer’s security posture above all else.

Following a record-breaking 2025 where we shattered revenue targets and expanded our global footprint, we are entering 2026 with even greater momentum. We are seeking high-energy individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, AI-augmented sales environment. If you are hungry to sharpen your craft, possess a relentless desire to win, and want to sell a platform that is actively neutralising global cyber threats, we want to talk to you.
