## What they're looking for

- You've built a territory from a standing start before, and you'd choose to do it again
- Fluency in MEDDPICC and Command of the Message, and the ability to change a buyer's plan with a technical/business insight rather than a slide
- You're already part of the Bay Area AI and developer ecosystem, or you can show you've built a network like it before
- You live in the Bay Area. This is an in-person role, split between our San Francisco office and your customers' offices
