Sales Associate

Our Company

Tenchi is a Cyber Security company building innovative technology focused on Third-Party Cyber Risk Management for businesses. Founded by serial entrepreneurs and supported by solid institutional investors, we are driven to disrupt this fast-growing industry.

Tenchi was created to tackle a real challenge: companies often face security risks because their third-parties don’t maintain the same level of cyber protection. This gap leaves even the largest organizations potentially vulnerable to incidents they can’t directly control. That’s exactly where we step in.

Our TPCRM SaaS solution, Zanshin, is the only global TPCRM solution that offers both inside-out and outside-in visibility - combining external attack surface monitoring with automated, continuous, and non-intrusive assessments of cloud infrastructure (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and security controls.

Our People and Culture

At Tenchi, we believe that great technology is built by exceptional people. We foster a culture that inspires growth, collaboration, and purpose. Our DNA is rooted in intentionality, transparency, and a strong bias for action. We move fast, communicate openly, and own our impact. We invest in individuals who bring passion, positivity, and a commitment to innovation. Here, diversity is celebrated, backgrounds vary, but shared values unite us all.

As a 100% remote company with team members across Brazil, the US, Canada, Argentina, and Spain, we embrace flexibility while coming together to solve meaningful challenges. If you’re ready to make an impact and thrive in a dynamic environment, Tenchi is the place for you.
