Role summary
Limrun is seeking an early Account Executive to drive sales of its mobile development platform for cloud agents. This role involves identifying target accounts, generating pipeline through various channels, and managing the full sales cycle from initial contact to closing complex B2B technology deals. The Account Executive will lead discovery with engineering leaders, conduct technical demos, and partner with engineering on evaluations. A key aspect of the role is building the foundational Go-To-Market strategy, including ICP, messaging, and sales processes, in an early-stage, fast-paced environment. Experience selling technical products to engineering teams and comfort with ambiguity are essential.
## Why Limrun
As an early Account Executive at Limrun, you'll work directly with the founder and engineering team to find the right customers, run a disciplined sales process, and turn qualified technical interest into closed business.
Limrun is already in production at platforms like Replit, Rork, Minitap, Momentic. We are backed by investors including CRV and Y Combinator.
Limrun is at the point where one person can materially improve every part of the commercial motion. You'll have room to experiment, build the foundations well, and take on broader commercial responsibility as the function expands.
## The role
You'll work directly with the founder to create pipeline, run a disciplined sales process, and turn founder-led sales into a repeatable motion. You'll own the path from first touch through commercial close and partner with engineering on scoped technical evaluations.
## What you'll do
* Identify the right accounts and create qualified pipeline through targeted outbound, fast inbound follow-up, ecosystem relationships, and experiments that you design and run.
* Lead discovery with engineering leaders, understand their workflow and infrastructure constraints, qualify the opportunity, and establish clear next steps before moving into a demo or evaluation.
* Learn Limrun hands-on and run credible technical demos and evaluations, partnering with engineering when an opportunity requires deeper implementation work.
* Own complex deals from first conversation through commercial close, including building champions, reaching the right decision-makers, navigating security and procurement, and keeping momentum throughout the process.
* Build the early GTM foundation: ICP and disqualification criteria, messaging, demo and sales materials, CRM stages, forecasting, follow-up discipline, and a practical playbook for future hires.
* Keep the CRM accurate and document experiments, deal progress, and results.
* Turn customer conversations into sharper positioning, useful product feedback, and better decisions about where Limrun should focus.
* Travel within the US and Europe for customer meetings and team offsites when needed.
## What we're looking for
* You've built pipeline and closed B2B technology deals in an early-stage environment, including opportunities you created yourself.
* You've sold a technical product to CTOs, engineering leaders, or developers and can earn trust with people who will test whether you understand their work.
* You can learn a developer product deeply enough to run discovery, demonstrate it clearly, and coordinate a technical evaluation without hiding behind a deck.
* You are comfortable working from an incomplete playbook, testing ideas, and creating the process as you go.
* You are analytical and disciplined about documenting experiments, deal progress, customer signals, and results.
* You take ownership, ask for feedback, and are willing to do hands-on prospecting and follow-up without waiting for a large team or established brand.
We care more about what you personally built, sold, and learned than about titles or years of experience.
## Nice to have, not required
* Experience selling developer tools, cloud infrastructure, observability, AI development products, or another product used by engineering teams.
* A background in software engineering, sales engineering, solutions engineering, or technical pre-sales.
* Experience building a new category or taking a company from founder-led sales to a repeatable commercial motion.
* Experience with enterprise evaluations, land-and-expand sales, or multi-threaded deals involving engineering, security, and procurement.
## What we offer
* Ownership of full-cycle sales, from prospecting through close.
* Direct collaboration with the founder and engineers building the product.
* A San Francisco office in South Park, with relocation support.
* Regular team offsites.
