The Opportunity:
Join a fast-growing software development organization building API-first platforms for the healthcare ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market, giving you direct influence over how technical products are adopted by developers and healthcare customers. The opportunity is to own full-cycle sales in the SME and mid-market segments, converting strong inbound developer demand and driving outbound new logo acquisition for a strategic API/SaaS offering.

- Prospect and acquire net-new customers across the healthcare technology landscape, building and managing a consistent outbound motion.
- Qualify and convert inbound developer signups into paid customers by identifying conversion-ready opportunities and applying appropriate sales motions.
- Work cross-functionally with Solutions Engineering, Product, and Engineering to scope technical integrations and shorten sales cycles.
- Maintain disciplined CRM and pipeline hygiene to ensure accurate forecasting and resource allocation.
- Build and manage a multi-segment pipeline that spans early-stage startups and larger healthcare enterprises.
- Contribute to and refine the sales playbook, qualification frameworks, and outbound sequences to scale motion and improve conversion rates.
Must-Have Skills:
- 5 years in a full-cycle AE role at a SaaS or API-first company with ownership of SME or mid-market segments.
- Proven track record of building and closing pipeline through outbound prospecting, not just managing inbound leads.
- Comfort selling technical products to technical buyers and an ability to engage with developers, CTOs, and lead engineers.
- Experience managing multi-stakeholder deals involving founders, engineering, and finance stakeholders.
- Strong CRM discipline with demonstrated Salesforce pipeline hygiene.
- Experience selling into healthtech or related verticals, or familiarity with healthcare developer workflows.
Nice-to-Have Skills:
- Prior experience selling API platforms, developer tools, or integration middleware.
- Familiarity with healthcare data systems such as EHRs, practice management systems (PMS), or RCM workflows.
- Experience as an early sales hire building GTM infrastructure and playbooks while carrying quota.
- Background working with mid-market and growth-stage VC-backed companies in the healthcare/AI space.
- Comfort operating in high-ambiguity environments where processes and playbooks are being created.
