Who You Are • You have 5+ years of experience in a quota-carrying sales role, including experience selling enterprise software, ideally in SaaS, developer platforms, or cloud services. • You have a proven track record of closing large, complex enterprise deals and achieving or exceeding revenue targets. • You are experienced in strategic account planning, building multi-threaded relationships, and navigating long sales cycles with multiple stakeholders. • You have experience selling to technical and executive stakeholders, such as CTOs, VPs of Engineering, platform teams, and DevOps leaders. • You are familiar with software development, DevOps tools, or developer ecosystems, and understand how engineering organizations make buying decisions. • You are comfortable managing procurement processes, security reviews, and legal negotiations for multi-year agreements. • You can translate technical value into business outcomes and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • You bring strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and closing skills, along with a strategic approach to long-term account development. • You are excited to help build a scalable sales motion with AI and enjoy working with innovative products in an evolving technology landscape.
