What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Account Executive (Graph & AI) position at FalkorDB?
About FalkorDB
FalkorDB is the world’s fastest graph database, engineered for real-time, high-scale enterprise applications. We are the engine behind the next generation of cybersecurity, fraud detection, and AI-driven systems. As we scale our footprint, we are looking for a foundational sales leader to own the Bay Area and drive our enterprise expansion.
The Role
We are seeking an Enterprise Hunter not a "Farmer." You are a high-octane sales professional with a track record of crushing quotas in the deep-tech software space. You don’t just manage a territory; you dominate it.
You will be responsible for navigating complex, technical sales cycles and building strategic partnerships with the most innovative companies in the world. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on the hunt and wants to shape the GTM strategy of a category-defining company.
What You’ll Do
- Drive New Business: Execute a ruthless territory plan to acquire "new logo" enterprise accounts across Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and AI.
- Navigate Technical Cycles: Lead complex, POC-driven sales motions, moving seamlessly between developer-level technical deep dives and executive-level value propositions.
- Multi-Thread Strategic Deals: Build deep relationships with CTOs, VPs of R&D, and Architects to ensure FalkorDB is the standard for their infrastructure.
- Scale the GTM: Partner with Product and Marketing to refine our messaging and contribute to the regional growth playbook.
- Forecast with Precision: Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and provide predictable revenue forecasting.
What We’re Looking For
- The Track Record: 5 years of quota-carrying experience in enterprise software, consistently landing in the top 10% of your peer group.
- Technical Fluency: You speak the language of infrastructure, databases, and developer tools. You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty in a discovery session.
- Strategic Agility: Experience managing 6–12 month sales cycles with a "win-fast" mentality.
- The Startup Mindset: You excel in high-accountability, low-bureaucracy environments. You see a lack of process as an opportunity to build one.
- The Network: A pre-existing network within the Bay Area tech ecosystem is a significant advantage.
The "Edge" (Preferred Experience)
- Direct experience selling Graph Technology or high-performance data platforms.
- Background in Open Source business models or hybrid SaaS/On-prem environments.
- Experience at high-growth icons like Neo4j, MongoDB, Snowflake, Redis, or Databricks.
Why FalkorDB?
- Product Superiority: Sell a product with undeniable technical benchmarks and clear market differentiation.
- Uncapped Upside: A competitive compensation plan designed to reward over-achievement.
- Influence: Direct access to founders and the ability to influence the product roadmap.
- Growth: The opportunity to be one of the first boots on the ground in our most critical market.
