  • Partner with Solutions Engineering and Product to guide technical evaluations and pilots
  • Define success criteria and drive evaluations toward clear technical and business outcomes
  • Own opportunities from initial engagement through contract signature
  • Align technical validation with commercial decision-making
  • Navigate procurement, legal, and security processes, including enterprise and government-adjacent environments
  • Work closely with Solutions Engineering, Product, and Customer Success
  • Share insights from the field to refine product positioning and sales strategy
  • Contribute to how we sell, who we target, and how we scale
  • Provide feedback on messaging, ICP, and sales process
  • Support hiring and onboarding as the team grows
  • Maintain disciplined pipeline management and forecasting
  • Clearly communicate deal progress, risks, and next steps to leadership
What You'll Gain
  • Experience selling a highly technical product to advanced engineering teams
  • Exposure to complex enterprise and technical sales cycles
  • Opportunity to help shape the go-to-market strategy for a fast-growing deep-tech company
  • Close mentorship from experienced enterprise sellers and technical leaders
  • Direct exposure to customers building cutting-edge systems across aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial technology

  • Has 610+ years of experience in a quota-carrying B2B sales role
  • Has experience selling technical or complex products (e.g., SaaS, developer tools, engineering software, or infrastructure platforms)
  • Is comfortable engaging deeply with technical stakeholders such as engineers, architects, and technical leaders
  • Demonstrates strong curiosity and the ability to quickly learn complex technical concepts
  • Has a track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets
  • Communicates clearly and confidently with both technical and executive audiences
  • Thrives in early-stage environments where processes are still evolving
  • Is highly motivated and willing to invest the effort required to succeed in complex enterprise sales
