Channel Manager- EMEA

Description About Us Novee is the AI penetration testing platform built for a world where attackers operate at machine speed. Founded in Tel Aviv in April 2025 by a team with decades of nation-state offensive security experience - including veterans of Unit 8200, Iron Dome, and elite zero-day research - we're turning that expertise into a platform that thinks like a real attacker, runs continuously, and uncovers the novel vulnerabilities that manual testers and scanners miss. We raised $51.5M in four months, backed by top investors YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Oren Zeev - one of the fastest funding trajectories in offensive security. Our proprietary AI model outperforms frontier LLMs by over 55% on real exploitation benchmarks, and we're just getting started. We're looking for exceptional people to join our mission: making continuous, intelligent offensive security the new standard.
