Save Job

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-assisted 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.
