Company Description Assail is a venture-backed cybersecurity company building the next generation of offensive AI. Our platform, Ares, is an autonomous AI agent purpose-built for continuous security testing of the modern application stack — web applications, APIs, and mobile apps. Unlike point-in-time assessments or legacy DAST tools, Ares delivers continuous, proof-based exploitation that mirrors real-world attacker behavior.

Based in Boston, MA, Assail serves enterprise, federal, and global markets, and came out of stealth at RSA 2026. Role Description This is a full-time, on-site role in Boston, MA for a Sales Development Representative (SDR). You will be responsible for identifying and qualifying sales opportunities across enterprise, federal, and commercial segments, engaging prospects through outbound calls and emails, and booking qualified meetings for Account Executives.

The role demands a proactive, structured approach to outbound prospecting, disciplined CRM hygiene, and close collaboration with sales and marketing to build and advance pipeline. You'll be selling into security-conscious buyers — red team leads, AppSec engineers, CISOs — so intellectual curiosity about the cybersecurity space is a real advantage.
