[Hiring] Founding Account Executive @talentpluto

Role Description

This is a founding Account Executive role: the first dedicated, quota-carrying seller on the team. You will own the full sales cycle end to end, from self-sourced pipeline through multi-threaded technical evaluations to close, and help build the sales motion and systems from scratch. Because the product is technical and the buyers are engineers, you will work closely with the founders and engineering during the ramp period, then take increasing ownership of deals as the motion matures.

• Sell a technical product to technical, engineering-led buyers, translating product value across engineers, executives, and operators.
• Multi-thread and navigate enterprise deals, coordinating technical evaluations with engineering support.
• Build the repeatable sales motion, systems, and processes as the founding seller.
• Maintain strong operational discipline: accurate forecasting, CRM hygiene, and a measurable process.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of B2B SaaS sales experience with a track record of sourcing and closing deals.
• A true hunter comfortable self-sourcing pipeline with limited inbound volume.
• Experience selling technical products (dev tools, infrastructure, data, or adjacent) to technical buyers, or a CS/technical background that signals credibility with engineers.
• Startup experience and the range to wear many hats in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with both engineers and executives.
• Strong operational discipline around forecasting, pipeline management, and CRM.
