Job description

About the Role:

You will be one of the founding Senior Account Executives on Sonar's AI Sales Specialist team. You'll own a named-account territory of AI-native startups (Series A–C) and digital-native unicorns headquartered in the Bay Area, building pipeline, running developer-led evaluations, and closing six- and seven-figure deals with VPs of Engineering, Heads of Platform/DevEx, and CTOs.

This is a full-cycle, high-velocity role inside a category-defining platform. You'll be expected to spend real time in-person with customers — at their offices, at meetups, at our San Mateo office — because the buyers you're selling to value being met where they are. You'll run both strategic multi-threaded enterprise engagements and shorter‑cycle inside-sales-style closes on PLG-sourced opportunities.

What You'll Do:

• Own the entire revenue cycle for your named-account territory: prospecting, technical discovery (with SEs), multi-threaded executive engagement, POV management, commercial negotiation, and close.
• Generate the majority of your own pipeline through targeted outbound, ecosystem relationships, and in-person presence across the Bay Area.
• Partner with Developer Advocacy and Marketing to convert PLG signal — workspace signups, evaluation activity, GitHub installs — into qualified enterprise opportunities.
• Design tailored land‑and‑expand motions that start from the developer experience and ladder up to platform-wide deals.
• Build durable relationships with engineering leaders in the Bay Area AI ecosystem and bring their feedback back into Product to shape the roadmap.
• Help us hire, ramp, and shape the culture of the AI Sales Specialist team as we scale.
• Convert product‑qualified leads (PQLs) — workspace signups, trial activity, GitHub installs — into closed revenue efficiently.
• Manage a mixed book simultaneously: multi‑threaded strategic deals and higher-velocity inside‑sales-style closes. Know when to invest deeply in a deal and when to accelerate a decision.
• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene in Salesforce and run structured outreach sequences via Outreach or Salesloft.

Experience Required:

• 5–8+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying SaaS sales experience.
• 3+ years selling technical products to engineering, DevOps, platform, or security buyers.
• Documented track record of consistent quota attainment.
• Multiple six-figure ACV deals closed in the last 24 months, ideally including at least one seven-figure deal.
• Hands‑on experience running developer-led / PLG-to-enterprise sales motions where bottoms-up usage data shapes the buying committee.
• Fluent in modern software development — Git, CI/CD, code review workflows, SDLC tooling — to lead a technical conversation without an SE in the room when you have to.
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area; willing to be in our San Mateo HQ multiple days per week and physically present with customers across SF, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and the Peninsula.
• Experience running velocity plays or shorter‑cycle inside-sales motions in addition to strategic enterprise selling.
• Proficient with inside-sales tooling: Salesforce (SFDC), Outreach or Salesloft, Gong or Chorus.
