Are you an experienced Technical Account Manager looking to make a significant impact in the cybersecurity industry? Oleria is a quickly growing enterprise cybersecurity startup founded by industry luminaries Jim Alkove and Jagadeesh Kunda.  Our team brings deep security, data, and SaaS experience building and securing some of the world’s largest platforms and products used by billions of people worldwide every day.
