Meet the Hiring Manager

Pete grew up outside of Washington, DC and went to college in Northern California. He has played basketball his whole life, and briefly played professionally in Germany. After basketball, he had a few jobs before starting in technology sales, including working as a speechwriter in Austria and investment banker in Boston. Over the past decade he has worked in sales and GTM roles at fast-growing SaaS companies, and loves the challenge of building high-performing teams and healthy cultures. Outside of work he enjoys playing basketball (not as well as he once did), cooking, and watching movies. 

 

The anticipated base salary is $125,000 plus commission. The anticipated base salary range is not inclusive of full benefits including equity, health care insurance, time off, paid parental leave, etc. This base salary is accurate based on information at the time of posting.

We're looking to hire a GREAT team and that means hiring people who are highly empathetic, ambitious, and excited about building the future of user authentication. You should feel empowered to apply for this role even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description (our job descriptions are directional and not perfect recipes for exactly what we need).
