Enterprise Account Executive

About Artie

Artie is a fully-managed real-time data streaming platform that replicates production databases into data warehouses and lakes - in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

We’re trusted by teams like Substack, Alloy, and ClickUp, and raised a Series A from top-tier investors including Standard Capital, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.

Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity - and we’re growing fast.

About the Role

We’re hiring an Enterprise Account Executive to help scale Artie’s sales motion.

This is not a “run the playbook” role. You’ll refine the playbook - defining what great full-cycle enterprise sales looks like for a deeply technical platform. You’ll partner directly with founders, influence product strategy, and set the bar for future AEs.

What you’ll do

• Run full-cycle enterprise sales
  • Own deals end-to-end: sourcing, qualification, discovery, demos, POCs, procurement, and closing
  • Navigate 6-12 month cycles with engineering, data, security, finance, and legal stakeholders
  • Multi-thread deeply and build strong, technical champions
• Lead rigorous evaluations
  • Build structured POC plans
  • Partner with engineering to define success criteria
  • Drive toward clear, mutual action plans
• Source your own pipeline
  • There is no SDR team and we are outbound heavy - you source 80%+ of your own pipeline through outbound, events, founder referrals, and creative prospecting
  • Use your curiosity and rigor to start real technical conversations
• Sell the vision and business value (not features)
  • Translate deep technical concepts (e.g. log-based CDC, Kafka buffering) into ROI, TCO reduction, and platform reliability
  • Inspire our buyers with how Artie can unlock new opportunities for their company

What we’re looking for

• Enterprise sales mastery:
  • 5+ years of full cycle AE experience in enterprise or upper/mid-market
  • Consistent track record of closing $100-300K+ ACV deals
  • Comfortable navigating 6-12 month cycles and complex procurement
  • Proven experience run full-cycle deals without SDR or Sales Engineer support
  • Experience selling B2B SaaS products to enterprise customers.
• Outbound-first mindset:
  • Self-sourced a significant portion of pipeline in previous roles
  • Consistent and persistent prospector who finds creative ways to engage prospects
• Extreme ownership:
  • Never drop the ball - internally or externally
  • Drives alignment, writes structured follow-ups, and runs mutual action plans
• Consultative and curious:
  • Asks layered questions, uncovers deep pain, and guides prospects to clarity and value
• Collaborative and self-aware:
  • Knows when to pull in help - from CTO deep dives to executive alignment with CEO
  • Works closely with teammates to win complex deals together
  • Willing to work in-person, 5 days/week at our SF office (relocation covered)

What you’ll get

• A Seat at the Table: Join as a founding GTM member with real influence on company direction.
• End-to-End Ownership: Drive the full GTM lifecycle—strategy, execution, and iteration.
• Tight Product Loop: Collaborate closely with product and leadership to shape what we build and why.Compensation & Benefits
