Summary

Theori is a global leader in offensive security, founded by the world’s most elite hackers.

• Clear, direct written communication

• Comfortable picking up a technical product and talking with technical buyers

• Organized enough to run many accounts and sequences at once

• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, able to work in-office on a hybrid schedule once our office opens and attend local events and meetings
