We’re a small, tight-knit team on the leading edge of Kubernetes adoption and optimization seeking an accomplished Senior Enterprise Account Executive who is comfortable selling cloud infrastructure and/or DevOps products and services to companies both large and small.
This is an opportunity for an experienced, technologically savvy sales professional to focus on selling to engineering and operations teams, where we take a developer-first approach to building relationships. As a member of our growing Sales team, you’ll work alongside the founding team and engineers to dramatically influence the future of our users’ infrastructure—and help us develop new sales channels by reaching a diverse set of audiences throughout organizations. You’ll own the entire sales process from beginning to end: qualifying and following up with leads, developing and delivering pitches, helping with contracts and pricing, and closing deals directly. You will work with company leaders to develop our sales playbook, incorporating direct input from Product, Engineering, and Technical Success. If you’re passionate about shaping the future of a young sales organization on the leading edge of technology while also having massive upside at a fast-growing startup, this is your opportunity!
