Description:

🚀 Founding Account Executive | Hybrid – San Francisco


An early-stage B2B SaaS company serving engineering and product teams is hiring its first Account Executive.


You'll work directly with the CEO to build the go-to-market motion from theground up.


This is a true 0→1 role. No polished sales machine. No big SDR team. No hand-holding.


If you want ownership, upside, and influence — keep reading.


What You'll Do

  • Own the full sales cycle (prospect → close)
  • Build pipeline yourself
  • Sell to technical buyers (engineering, DevOps, product leaders)
  • Help shape pricing, messaging, and GTM strategy
  • Close your first deal in month one


Who This Is For

  • 3–7+ years closing SaaS deals
  • Startup or early-stage experience strongly preferred
  • Comfortable selling technical / developer-focused products
  • Self-sourced pipeline closer
  • High ownership, high learning velocity, high experimentation mindset
  • Strong backgrounds from companies like Faros, Code Climate, DX, Honeycomb, Datadog, Rootly, QA Wolf, LaunchDarkly, or similar technical SaaS environments.


Compensation

  • $100K–$140K base
  • 50/50 OTE
  • 15% commission + accelerators
  • Equity

Higher base = higher bar.


Work Setup

Hybrid role – 1–2 days per week in office (California Street, SF).

Early team chemistry matters.


If you've been waiting for a real founding AE seat — not just the title — this is it.
