About the role

We are hiring a full-cycle Account Executive who will own both pipeline generation and closing. As an early GTM hire, you will have significant ownership, meaningful equity, and a direct role in building our commercial organization from the ground up. You will work closely with founders, engineers, and FDEs to turn early customer traction into a repeatable GTM motion.

What they're looking for

  • At least one year of full-cycle sales experience spanning pipeline generation and closing
  • Personally created outbound pipeline rather than relying entirely on SDRs or inbound
  • Experience selling technical products to engineering or similarly technical buyers
  • Experience selling to startups
  • Familiarity with high-velocity, usage-based, or pay-as-you-go sales motions
  • Strong written and verbal communication
