The Opportunity

You will own enterprise deals end to end, hunting new logos, multi-threading across technical and executive stakeholders, and closing complex, high-value contracts. This is not an order-taking role. You will be selling a technically sophisticated product to engineering-minded buyers, working directly with the founders, and helping shape the early go-to-market motion.

The right person is a hunter who has graduated beyond the basics, sold technical products at a high level, and wants to be early at a company poised to define a new category.
Responsibilities
  • Source, run, and close enterprise sales cycles for a technically complex product
  • Multi-thread deals across engineering, security, and executive stakeholders
  • Communicate credibly with technical buyers and engineers
  • Partner closely with the founders on strategy, messaging, and pipeline
  • Travel with the team to meet customers as needed
  • Help build the foundation of the sales org as one of the first AEs
Requirements
  • Strong track record of closing technical or infrastructure software at a high level, including consistent quota attainment and top-rep recognition
  • Enterprise sales experience with proven ability to multi-thread complex deals
  • Genuine technical aptitude, comfortable understanding AI and infrastructure concepts and conversing with engineers
  • Hunter mentality, intellectually curious, and motivated by building something meaningful over short-term cash
  • Hands-on user of AI tools in your own workflow
  • Bonus: experience transitioning from a sales engineering background into a closing role
