Full Job Description
What You'll Build
  • Own the full cycle, from first conversation through close and expansion, across both high-velocity commercial deals and complex enterprise pursuits.
  • Create sharp messaging, qualification, and deal patterns for a new category, and create urgency around the shift from static access to governed, agent-native infrastructure.
  • Navigate security, engineering, platform, AI, legal, and executive stakeholders with precision, building multi-threaded champions and credible business cases.
  • Build pipeline creatively through partners, community, events, and focused outbound.
  • Partner tightly with founders, sales leadership, product, and your SE, and bring the market into the roadmap.
  • Help design packaging, process, partnerships, and the hiring blueprint for scale.
  • Hit the number, and leave behind a playbook the next ten AEs can run.
What You Bring
  • A strong record selling technical B2B software, including large, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals.
  • Fluency with developers, security leaders, and modern cloud and AI buyers, plus executive credibility with CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, and senior engineering leaders.
  • Command of discovery, account planning, mutual action plans, procurement, forecasting, and expansion.
  • Crisp storytelling, disciplined follow-through, and real forecast ownership.
  • Founder-stage instincts: curious, resourceful, low-ego, and allergic to waiting for perfection.
  • The patience for complexity, the pace of a startup, and the accountability of an owner.

What We Offer
  • Build at the Frontier: Work every day at the frontier of agent-native systems - shipping, inventing, and iterating on technology that hasn't been built before. You'll be given huge autonomy, the opportunity to gain mastery, and the chance to work in a team that holds each other accountable to succeed.
  • Truly Agent-Native Culture: At Keycard, we don't just enable others to adopt agents - we use them ourselves to build. You'll help shape an organization that embeds AI into its foundation as an enduring competitive advantage.
  • Compensation With Upside: Market-competitive salaries and generous equity packages (4-year vest, 1-year cliff) give you the security to focus on building - and the asymmetric upside of ownership in a company chasing a category-defining mission.
  • Comprehensive Benefits & Recharge: Health, dental, vision, and paramedical coverage for you and your family, plus 4 weeks vacation, 11 statutory holidays, and 1 volunteer day annually. We encourage at least 2 weeks off each year to fully recharge.
  • Tools That Keep You Ahead: A new MacBook Pro, a $500 stipend for peripherals, and the best AI tools available so you can work at the forefront of agent-native workflows.
  • Remote-First Flexibility: We are a remote-first team prioritizing asynchronous collaboration, with hiring focused in North and South America. Work where you're strongest - we just want the best.
