## About the role

This is LightSprint’s founding account executive role. You’ll work directly with the founders to build the sales motion from the ground up and help product and engineering teams understand how LightSprint fits into the way they already build and ship software.

## What they're looking for

- You have a track record of selling technical B2B software through a consultative, multi-stakeholder sales process
- You can build trust with product leaders and engineers, ask precise questions, and understand enough technical detail to run a credible conversation
- You’re comfortable owning the entire process, from generating and qualifying opportunities to navigating evaluation and closing the deal
- You communicate clearly in writing, in a product demo, and in a room with executives and technical stakeholders
- You operate with high ownership and low ego. You follow through, keep the details organized, and collaborate closely with the rest of the company
- You’re excited by ambiguity and can turn early patterns into a repeatable system without becoming rigid too early
