talentpluto, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199

Save Job

Location San Francisco, CA (relocation supported)

Work Model Onsite (5 days/week); occasional flexibility as needed

Industry B2B SaaS (Developer Tools / AI infrastructure; selling to technical stakeholders such as Heads/VPs of Engineering)

Compensation Base $100,000-$150,000 + uncapped commission (target 2x OTE based on performance and plan). Equity may be offered.

About the Company Our partner is a

seed-stage B2B SaaS startup

building a technical product used by engineering teams. They recently launched a

self-serve motion

and are now scaling a sales‑assistant motion alongside it—converting high‑intent inbound users and building repeatable outbound while formalizing playbooks.

The Opportunity This is a

Founding, full‑cycle AE role

with real ownership over the sales process. The near‑term focus is closing repeatable deals (often mid‑market; typical cycles can be 3‑4 weeks including sandbox trials), not hiring a "strategic enterprise" rep for $500K+ deals from day one.

You’ll sell consultatively to technical buyers, run clean evaluations, and help translate product value into outcomes engineers care about—without relying on hype or aggressive selling.

Responsibilities

Own the full sales cycle: discovery → evaluation/sandbox → technical validation → close

Convert qualified self‑serve users into sales‑assisted opportunities; drive trials and decision‑making

Build pipeline via targeted outbound in parallel with inbound conversion

Multi‑thread deals, map stakeholders, manage timelines, and maintain accurate forecasting

Communicate technical concepts clearly (APIs, integrations, workflows) and partner with technical teammates as needed

Document and refine playbooks: ICP, qualification, objection handling, evaluation criteria, and repeatable messaging

Requirements

3+ years of quota‑carrying closing experience (AE or equivalent)

Experience selling to technical stakeholders and comfort discussing APIs/technical workflows at a practical level

Track record of consistent execution in a fast‑moving environment (pipeline creation + closing discipline)

Strong communication and follow‑through; professional, buyer‑respectful approach

Ability to work onsite in San Francisco (relocation supported)

Eligible to work in the U.S. (work authorization requirements will be discussed during the process)

Nice to have

Devtools/infra background or selling products used by engineering teams

Engineering education/background (preferred but not required)

Early‑stage experience building process from scratch
