  • Primary owner of all technical aspects of the sales cycle including activities such as responding to technical questions, product demo and solution briefings, deep-dive tech discovery, explanations of our system architecture and understanding of APIs, and integrations

You Should Have

  • 3+ years of experience in a Technical Sales Role, selling a developer-facing product to mid-market and/or enterprise customers
  • 2+ years experience in software development, ideally in JavaScript, with strong familiarity of web application and API architecture
  • Track record of outstanding sales performance, consistently exceeding quota and ranking among top performers in previous sales roles
  • Excellent communication skills, capable of effectively conveying complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Customer Obsession, consistently striving to anticipate customer needs and deliver excellent customer experiences
