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.

Job Type: Full-time

Are you a natural relationship builder with strong customer instincts? Do you enjoy stepping onto a production floor to solve problems just as much as you enjoy strategizing account growth? Do you love being "the face" to major OEMs and prefer a role that gets you out in the field rather than behind a desk? If so, this is the perfect opportunity to join our client, a primary equipment supplier to the North American bus industry.

The Regional Account Manager will support key OEM and fleet customers across Northern California and surrounding areas. This highly visible role blends account management, light technical/mechanical support, project coordination, field training, and regional sales growth.

You will serve as the primary point of contact for one of the region’s largest bus/vehicle manufacturers while also supporting additional transit agencies, fleets, and operators across Northern California and parts of the Central Valley.

This role is ideal for someone who loves building customer relationships, enjoys being hands‑on in production environments, and is comfortable balancing sales responsibilities with technical problem-solving.

What You'll Be Doing

Account Management & Customer Support

• Perform hands-on review of customer installations and assist with resolving equipment, configuration, or application questions.

Training & Education

• Conduct paid technical training sessions for customer maintenance teams and technicians.
• Deliver clear instructions on product usage, safety, troubleshooting, and maintenance best practices.
• Ensure training materials and documentation are consistently updated and aligned with customer needs.

Regional Growth & Field Sales

• Manage and grow existing accounts while identifying new opportunities within assigned territory.
• Conduct cold visits/check-ins with regional customers to assess needs, gather feedback, and promote solutions.
• Support bid/specification efforts to ensure products are accurately represented in proposals and future orders.
• Provide timely and accurate forecasting, market feedback, and competitive insights.

Travel Expectations

• Approximately 80% travel, primarily within Northern California.
• Occasional travel to national manufacturing sites, training centers, and customer locations for onboarding and continued development.
• Expect an immersive 60-day onboarding program involving shadowing and training with team members across multiple regions.

What Experience You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of experience combining sales, account management, project coordination, and/or technical customer support.
• Strong customer-facing skills with the ability to manage expectations, resolve conflicts professionally, and build trust.
• Demonstrated mechanical aptitude, whether through previous work experience, hands-on roles, or personal/hobbyist experience.
• Ability to work independently from a home office while managing a travel-heavy schedule.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office and experience using CRM tools.
• Residency in Northern California, with daily travel within the Bay Area feasible.

Preferred

• Experience supporting OEMs or large industrial/manufacturing accounts.
• Background in transportation, heavy equipment, mechanical systems, mobility, or related technical industries.
• Experience conducting customer training or technical demonstrations.
• Strong organizational skills with proven ability to prioritize across multiple customers and ongoing projects.

What's Offered

• Company vehicle and credit card for travel.
• Yearly bonus eligibility.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunity for long-term growth in a stable, expanding division.
• Autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to make a meaningful impact with a leading provider of transportation and mechanical system solutions.
