About the Company :
We are a rapidly growing, venture-backed SaaS company ($21M raised as of August 2024) building data infrastructure tools that empower enterprises to build trust in their data lifecycle. Our customers include some of the world’s most recognized global brands.

We’re a 25-person team based in downtown Seattle with ambitious growth plans and a mission to help modern data-driven companies build confidence in their data workflows.
About the Role :
We’re hiring our first dedicated Enterprise Account Executive — a true player-coach type who can both execute deals and help design the sales motion from the ground up. This is a pivotal role for our next growth chapter.
The right person will bring the rigor of an enterprise seller and the creativity of a startup builder. You’ll own the full sales process, partner closely with our CEO and Chief Product Officer, and shape how we bring our deep technical platform to market.
