• Base Salary: $110,000 – $115,000 (commensurate with experience)
• Commission Plan:
  • Annual revenue quota established per SAE
  • 8% commission on revenue up to quota
  • Additional 1% kicker on all revenue exceeding quota
• Commission Mechanics:
  • Commission paid the month following receipt of client funds
  • Calculated on total contract value when paid in full up front
  • Pre‑Sales Engineer receives a separate 1% commission on supported deals
• Founding Go‑To‑Market Equity (One‑Time Awards):

  • Additional immediate‑vesting equity grant upon achieving a higher secondary milestone
  • Each equity award may be earned once per category

Success in this role requires strong territory discipline, comfort navigating procurement‑heavy sales cycles, and a mindset rooted in accountability, urgency, and results.
