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 AEs 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
Map these to Artie’s capabilities with clarity and confidence
•
Whiteboard solutions with staff engineers and data architects
•
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.
•
Deep technical fluency:
•
Experience selling dev tools, data infra, or cloud platforms to technical buyers
•
Able to confidently explain concepts like log-based CDC, Kafka, schema evolution, or cloud networking basics (VPCs, peering, security reviews)
•
Comfortable whiteboarding with staff-level engineers and technical stakeholders
•
Fluent discussing database, streaming, and cloud architecture concepts with engineering teams
•
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.

$120-160K base salary ($240-320K OTE) depending on experience
