As a Series A start-up, we’re in the beginning stages of an exciting journey! Though we've only been selling our product for two years, we already have an impressive customer list and a healthy pipeline of active prospects across multiple industries. We’re very encouraged by our initial success, customer response to our product, and the size of our addressable market. We must continue adding great teammates to keep scaling our revenue engine at an increasing pace.

As one of our early AEs, you’ll play an important role in helping strategize and execute our growth plan across the federal government and the adjacent ecosystem that serves it. Reporting to our head of sales, you’ll work closely with all leadership team members to drive new business acquisitions, accelerate our financial success, and contribute to the evolution of our products.

As a startup we all wear multiple hats, so you’ll need to be comfortable with both a revenue growth mandate and a broader portfolio of responsibilities. While there may be some ambiguity as we collectively learn and improve, this role offers a unique opportunity to develop a breadth of skills alongside a highly motivated, capable team.
