Associate Account Executive

DeepSource is transforming how engineering teams ship secure, high-quality code. Our AI-powered DevSecOps platform helps companies identify and resolve security vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and open-source risks before they reach production, utilizing static analysis, Autofix™ AI, and Autonomous AI Agents.

The Opportunity

We have several hundred paying customers, including large enterprises such as Visa, Ancestry, WEX, among others. In the last 3 months, we've launched DeepSource SCA and DeepSource Agents, where we're thinking about code security in the age of AI from first principles. We've received incredible customer feedback on these new products, and we're now ready to scale our sales motion to capitalize on this momentum.

The Role

You'll be an Associate Account Executive, working directly with our CEO to build and execute our outbound sales strategy. This is a full-cycle sales role where you'll own the entire process from prospecting to closing deals with software companies across the US, with a sharp focus on the Bay Area.

What you'll do:

• Prospect and qualify software companies (100 - 2000+ employees) who need better code security and quality tools, especially those who're increasingly adopting AI-assisted software development tools
• Run discovery calls to understand technical pain points and map our solutions to their needs
• Demo our platform to engineering leaders, security teams, and CTOs
• Navigate complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders in technical organizations
• Close deals ranging from $15K to $75K+ ACV
• Partner with our CEO to refine our sales process and go-to-market strategy
• Build relationships with champions in the developer and security communities

What we're looking for

Experience: 1-3 years in B2B SaaS sales, ideally selling to technical buyers or in the developer tools/security space. We're open to early-career semi-technical folks who are looking to break into sales and GTM for developer tools

Must-haves:

• Ability to have technical conversations with developers and engineering leaders
• Hunger to learn and grow in a fast-paced startup environment
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Strong track record of hitting/exceeding quota in a previous sales role (unless you're early-career)
• Experience with outbound prospecting and full-cycle sales (unless you're early-career)

Nice-to-haves:

• Previous experience at developer tools, security, or infrastructure companies
• Technical background or genuine curiosity about software development
• Familiarity with static analysis, security scanning, or DevSecOps tools
• Experience selling to engineering teams or technical decision makers

What we offer

• Competitive compensation: $80K-$100K base + commission (OTE $140K-$180K)
• Meaningful equity: 0.1%-0.3% in a fast-growing company
• Direct mentorship: Work closely with our CEO to learn the business inside-out
• Growth opportunity: Help build our sales organization
• Impact: Help shape how thousands of engineering teams ship secure software
• Location: San Francisco (preferred), or remote in the Bay Area.

Why now?

This is the perfect time to join DeepSource. We have product-market fit, strong customer love, and new products that are getting incredible traction. You'll have the chance to define our sales playbook and grow with us as we scale to $XXM+ ARR.

Interview Process

We believe in a transparent, efficient process that respects your time. Our interview consists of three steps: an initial 30-minute conversation with Sanket (our CEO/co-founder) to discuss your background and mutual fit, followed by a focused 1-hour take-home assignment that lets you showcase your sales approach, and finally a 30-minute interview with Jai (our other co-founder) to dive deeper into technical understanding and team dynamics. The entire process typically takes 1-2 weeks from start to finish, and we'll provide feedback at every stage.
