Founding Account Executive

US Sales HireThis is our first dedicated US sales hire. You'll own high-intent technical deals, shape the sales motion from first principles, and have a path to building or leading part of the revenue org as we scale.Build pipeline. You will build relationships with executives we can help. That means working referral networks, getting coffees, traveling to conferences, staying close to customers, picking up the phone and turning one good relationship into five more. The goal is to become the kind of person executives actually want to talk to and open doors for.Run deals. You will own six-figure sales cycles from first conversation to signature. You will understand the business problem, buying dynamics, political map, risks, and path to close. You will be clear about what needs to happen next, who owns it, and whether the deal has legs.Help crack the sales playbook. You will help sharpen the ICP, narrative, proposals, ROI cases, mutual action plans, pricing etc. We have great traction, but the sales motion is not fully figured out. Ultimately you'll have a chance to lead a team if you want it and earn it.Must-haves:5+ years carrying a closing quota in B2B SaaS, infrastructure, security, developer tools, or AI, with a track record of closing net-new mid-market or enterprise deals at $100k+ ACVEnergized by founder-style selling: sourcing strategic accounts, mapping buying committees, creating urgency, and closing without a fully built machine around youTechnically literate - can hold conversations about complex technical products and have credibility with technical buyersCan operate effectively without established playbooks or processesExtensive cold calling experienceReadiness to travelStrong nice-to-haves:Have founded a company or built something from scratchStarted in outbound/SDR and earned a closing role quicklyHave been an early sales hire at a startup, especially a YC companyHave experience as a software engineer, solutions engineer, sales engineer, or in another technical roleWhat success looks like after 12 months:You've closed multiple large logos, adding $500k-$1m in revenueYou'll be on track to earn leadership through your performance, if desiredYou will have helped find message-market fit and contributed to the sales playbookCompensation & Benefits:Comp: $300k OTE: ($150k base; $150k variable, uncapped)Meaningful equity packageFully remote within the US, EST preferredAll the hardware, subscriptions, tools, and services you needPaid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work fromTeam off-sites twice a year: we've recently been to the Alps and to Saint-TropezHow we hire:Call with Head of Revenue (30 min)Practical Sales Exercise with Head of Revenue (60 min)Final conversation with our CEO (30 min)
