About Us
Socket helps devs and security teams ship faster by cutting out security busywork. Thousands of orgs use Socket to safely find, audit, and manage open source code. Our customers – from Anthropic to xAI, and Figma to Vercel – love Socket (just check out their tweets to see for yourself!)
Founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh, a long-time open source maintainer with software downloaded over a billion times a month, Socket has raised $125M in funding from top angels, operators, and security leaders.
About the Role
You’ll own customer success post-sale for our European Customers. That means understanding how each customer wants to use Socket, helping them get there, and solving problems when things break.
This is a product-focused, technical role. You’ll spend your time learning customer environments, asking the right questions to uncover blockers, and translating product capabilities into solutions. You’re also the front line for technical support. We don’t have a separate support team. When something doesn’t work as expected, you investigate.
