Full Job Description
About The Role

This is a great chance to join an early sales team at a company with real product-market fit. You'll be closing real deals, with a focus on Commercial accounts, while helping shape the sales motion, the pitch, and the culture of a team that will grow significantly over the next 12-24 months.

You won't be fighting over scraps. AEs at Vantage operate with large territories, a strong inbound funnel, and the support of an SDR team. The financial upside (salary, uncapped commission, and equity) reflects the early-stage opportunity this is.

What You Will Do
  • Own the full sales cycle from discovery through close for commercial accounts
  • Run structured, consultative discovery to understand how prospects think about cloud costs and map Vantage's capabilities to their specific pain
  • Work closely with the SDR team on inbound pipeline while proactively sourcing your own opportunities
  • Partner with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to deliver compelling demos and smooth handoffs
  • Contribute to playbook development; you'll be one of the first AEs, and what you learn will shape how the team operates
  • Provide market feedback to Product and Marketing based on what you're hearing in the field


What We're Looking For
  • 3-6 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in developer tools, infrastructure, or fintech
  • Track record of hitting or exceeding quota in a closing role
  • Comfort selling to a dual persona: engineers who care about product quality and finance/ops leaders who care about ROI
  • Strong discovery instincts: you ask good questions and know how to surface real pain, not just surface-level interest
  • Startup mentality: you thrive with autonomy, don't wait for a perfect playbook, and treat ambiguity as opportunity
  • Curiosity about cloud infrastructure
  • A kind person


Bonus Points
  • Experience selling to FinOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure teams
  • Familiarity with tools like AWS Cost Explorer, Datadog, Snowflake, or Kubernetes
  • Prior experience at a company that went from early-stage to scale

The annual US compensation range for this role is $100,000 - $200,000. For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate's experience, qualifications, and location.
