Role Summary
Join Escape as a Security Advocate, bridging the gap between security technology and the engineering community in a remote role.
About the Organisation
Escape secures the code-to-cloud attack surface that covers DAST, ASM and AI Pentesting. Our platform continuously maps and tests every asset exposed to the internet, including undocumented APIs and endpoints, with automated AI penetration testing and DAST running at the pace of modern development teams.
With a team of 45+ people based across Paris, Amsterdam, Hawaii, Boston, and New York, Escape is Series A funded and rapidly growing. We are building a world-class team to help organizations protect what matters most.
Some of the best conversations in cybersecurity don't start with a sales pitch. They start with an interesting vulnerability, a technical demo, a GitHub project, a conference talk, a strong opinion or a very good security meme.

- Create and deliver engaging content: blogs, videos, presentations, and technical documentation that educates and inspires

- Partner with Product, Sales, and Engineering to ensure our solutions address real customer challenges
Minimum Requirements
- Strong technical knowledge of cybersecurity, ideally AppSec, offensive security, penetration testing, web/API security or developer security.

- Excellent communication skills and the ability to make complex security topics clear, interesting and entertaining.
- Genuine interest in cybersecurity culture and the people behind it.
- Confidence engaging with highly technical audiences online and in person
