Job Description

About Us

Middleware is an AI-driven cloud observability platform that helps engineering teams detect, diagnose, and automatically fix issues across Kubernetes, logs, traces, metrics, and more. With our Ops AI Agentic Mode, teams enjoy true autopilot observability—less noise, faster fixes, and smoother workflows. We’re on a mission to make infrastructure truly self-healing, and we’d love for you to be part of it!

About the Role

We’re looking for a full-time, on-site Account Executive in San Francisco.

You’ll collaborate with a fun, supportive team and play a key role in helping customers succeed.

What You Bring

  • Proven sales experience (SaaS/ deep tech is a big plus)
  • Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
  • A talent for building trusted client relationships
  • Familiarity with CRMs and sales tools
  • Bonus: understanding of AI, cloud, and observability
  • Driven, positive, and ready to hit your goals
  • A team-first attitude and comfort in a fast-paced environment
