Antithesis is a well-funded software verification platform that helps engineering teams find and fix bugs through deterministic simulation. The company is pioneering a new approach to testing and debugging for the AI era, addressing verification as a critical bottleneck in accelerated software development. As Senior Account Executive for the Pacific Northwest region, you will own the full enterprise sales cycle for a category-creating product. This is an early-stage GTM role where you'll develop new business, navigate complex technical evaluations, and help customers understand novel solutions to problems they may not yet recognize. You'll work with a defined territory covering technical ICPs (software engineers, engineering managers, architects, VPs of Engineering, CTOs) and business stakeholders. Key responsibilities include: - Owning the complete sales process from prospecting through close, including qualification, technical evaluation, negotiation, and deal progression - Building and maintaining a healthy pipeline across your territory, engaging both technical and executive buyers - Partnering with Solutions Engineers and Business Development Reps to uncover needs, guide evaluations, and develop compelling demos and POCs - Maintaining accurate forecasts and pipeline visibility with disciplined deal tracking - Providing customer and market feedback to Product, Engineering, Marketing, and GTM leadership to shape product direction and sales motion - Refining sales processes, qualification criteria, discovery frameworks, and best practices as the organization scales - Contributing to a collaborative, high-accountability sales culture and mentoring new GTM team members You'll have significant autonomy to shape how Antithesis sells, qualifies, forecasts, and grows its customer base.

REQUIREMENTS: - 5+ years of B2B enterprise software sales experience, preferably selling developer tools, reliability, infrastructure, observability, cloud, testing, or other technically complex products with technical ICPs - Proven experience selling to software engineering organizations and engaging technical buyers throughout the sales process - Strong discovery and consultative selling skills; ability to uncover customer problems rather than simply present capabilities - Track record of owning and closing complex enterprise opportunities with multiple stakeholders and meaningful technical evaluation requirements - Experience creating pipeline through BDR partnership, outbound prospecting, field marketing, and/or strategic planning - Ability to move comfortably between technical and business conversations, adapting messaging for engineers, engineering leaders, and executives - Comfort operating in early-stage or rapidly evolving companies where processes, messaging, territories, and responsibilities are still being developed - High degree of ownership, sound judgment, and willingness to take initiative without waiting for a fully defined playbook - Strong written and verbal communication skills in English - Willingness to travel for customer meetings, industry conferences, regional events, meetups, and team activities NICE TO HAVE: - Prior experience in Sales Engineering, Solutions Consulting, or similarly technical customer-facing roles - Technical curiosity to understand how customers build, deploy, test, and operate software; ability to engage credibly with technical audiences - Experience selling emerging or category-creating products where customer education and market development are part of the sales process - Experience at early-stage startups where you helped establish or refine the sales motion - Additional language skills beyond English
