Job Description

We’re hiring a Technical Account Executive to be Antimetal’s first quota-carrying AE and own the full sales cycle end to end, from sourcing to close. This role is core to how we grow. You will sell a deeply technical product to infrastructure teams, run tight discovery and pilots, and help build the systems, playbooks, and operating rhythm that let us scale the sales motion.

Job Responsibility

  • Own a full-cycle sales motion, including outbound sourcing, discovery, qualification, negotiation, and closing
  • Run technical discovery with engineering teams (Eng, SRE, platform, infra), mapping pain to product value and defining clear success criteria
  • Lead the deal process through technical evaluation: coordinate pilots, unblock security and compliance reviews, and drive next steps with urgency
  • Develop crisp narratives and enablement: write talk tracks, objection handling, ROI framing, and repeatable email and call sequences
  • Partner closely with founders, product, and engineering to close deals and bring back high-signal feedback to shape roadmap and packaging
  • Create a repeatable outbound engine: identify ICP accounts, craft personalized outreach, and iterate based on conversion data
  • Represent Antimetal with high craft, strong writing, and excellent customer experience in every interaction

Requirements

  • 2-4 years of experience in B2B SaaS sales, with a track record of sourcing and closing deals
  • Experience selling technical products (dev tools, infra, security, data, or adjacent) to engineering-led buyers
  • Proven ability to run structured discovery, design pilots, and turn technical evaluations into closed-won outcomes
  • Strong pipeline creation skills, especially outbound, and comfort operating without a lot of inbound volume
  • High ownership and comfort with ambiguity, you are excited to build while you sell
  • Excellent writing and communication skills, you can communicate clearly with both engineers and executives
  • Strong operational discipline: forecasting, CRM hygiene, and a bias toward measurable process

Nice to have

  • Prior experience as a solutions engineer, forward deployed engineer, SRE, or software engineer
  • Background selling observability, monitoring, incident response, or reliability tooling
  • Experience closing enterprise deals with security, compliance, and procurement complexity
  • Network in the NYC engineering and infrastructure ecosystem
  • Degree in Computer Sciences or related technical discipline

What we offer

  • Offers Equity
  • Offers Commission
  • Competitive salary with generous equity grants
  • Fully covered health, dental, and vision, plus retirement benefits
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Dinner on late nights
  • Fitness stipend
  • Any equipment you need to do your best work
  • Citi Bike + train benefits

  • Power user of Lovable, or eager to be: You've built something (or several somethings) with it, and can demo from experience rather than from a script
  • Door-opener: You're well-connected in the Finnish startup and tech ecosystem, or have a clear path to becoming so quickly

  • Strong storyteller: You translate technical capabilities into business outcomes, and you make people want to lean in
  • Comfort with ambiguity: Finland is greenfield for us. You'll be defining playbooks, not following them
  • Open to non-traditional backgrounds: Career AE experience is welcome but not required. What matters is your ability to open doors, build trust, and tell the Lovable story with conviction
  • Bonus: full-cycle SaaS sales experience, AI or developer tools background, fluent Finnish + English, prior founder or operator experience
